The 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil demo is available now for 360 (Gold Exclusive), weighing in at 1.66 GB. You can queue it up right here.

It will be available later today for PS3 users, we will update this post when it's online.

UPDATE: It is now available for PS3.

The demo includes the following teams in the Estadio do Maracana, the site of the final game of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

• Brazil
• Mexico
• USA
• England
• Australia
• Japan
• New Zealand
• Ivory Coast

It has a 4 minute half length, you can change the difficulty settings, game speed, camera settings, visual settings, rules and sliders. The brazuca, Adidas’ official match ball is also available.

Play a few matches and let us know what you think.

After playing as Brasil v Japan, here are my thoughts:

1. It throws me off that they switched the colors associated with positions. GK is now Green, DEF is now Blue, MID is now Orange, and ATT is now Yellow.

2. All players appear to have CPU generated faces for their bio pics. If they do go this route instead of using actual photos, perhaps they could have made it have some animation while you are looking at it or something.

3. Lol Neymar has 0 stars in his weak foot. Don't know if that's a glitch or not. Btw, I think they added in diving. Neymar seems to flop around a lot after a tackle. Kinda cool! Perhaps it will be a new trait for FIFA's to come!

4. The interface is great. Loving the festive theme and it really brings a great feel to the game.

5. The player momentum system seems to be toned down a lot, almost to being gone. Don't mind that as much. I feel like players respond more like IRL.

6. Wish they would have put my team in the demo (Germany) instead of dumpy England (sorry to all you Brits lol).

7. The celebrations post goal are really cool. Loved seeing the Japanese fans disappointed and my coach celebrating.

8. Loving the ability to run plays on corners now. Huge addition imo.

Addendum to #3: Hopefully they make diving for future games. Would love to see players get carded for diving too much in a match. Likewise maybe you win a call every now and then. Could be added as a player trait as well.

Can only name 7 subs on the bench. Is that a new rule or did EA **** up?

The demo is available on the Playstation store!

First thought upon playing this was that the final product will have to have a way to bypass all the introductions and anthems. I was button bashing everything, but ended up just having to wait.

Liked the gameplay, usual cutaways for the now standard substitutions did make me laugh. Absolute FIFA staple.

I've been playing FIFA 14 on Xbox One since launch and after playing this demo I just can't go back to these lousy graphics. The textures are just awful. Luckily I still have time to cancel my pre-order. Sad. Just sad.

Haha, they got the shorts color wrong (compared to the photos released today). Cue the outrage!
