Just days after the retail launch of the latest CSI adventure, now gamers can collect a sample free of cost, as Ubisoft has released a playable demo for Fatal Conspiracy.

The new game starring the television cast of the Vegas CSI unit serves up five brand new cases, each somehow connected. Along with help from the usual CSI crew, players will also partner with FBI Special Agent Huntby to investigate a drug cartel following a series of gruesome murders. As always, you'll need to scour crime scenes, interrogate suspects and witnesses, and process evidence using the latest and greatest forensic equipment available.

The demo lets players play through the fourth case of the game, entitled "All Washed Up", in which a young woman is found dead in her vehicle at a carwash, the apparent victim of a drug overdose. This sampler weighs in at a little under 400 MB and can be downloaded from FileFront or WorthPlaying.

CSI: Fatal Conspiracy is now available in North America for PC, Wii, Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 3. For more details and to see some videos of the game, pop on over to the official website.
