Post-apocalyptic car combat game Fuel Overdose for PlayStation 3 will offer a taste of its "tactical-action-racing" starting this week, thanks to a demo soon to be released via the PlayStation Store.

The Fuel Overdose demo will hit the European PlayStation Store first on Dec. 12. PS3 owners in North America will get access to the demo when the PlayStation Store updates next Tuesday, Dec. 18.

The full game will be released on Dec. 21 on the European PlayStation Store, with an early 2013 release planned for North America. Fuel Overdose is also bound for Windows PC.
