Head of Microsoft Game Studios Phil Spencer has told OXM UK that Crackdown 2 will do "something that's remarkable."
"Crackdown 1, I thought was a hallmark in open world co-op gaming. I am not just gonna turn the crank," he told them. "That team is gonna push and we're going to do something that's remarkable with that game as well. It's a challenge that I lay out to the teams, let's think about our platform and why we exist, let's get better with every release."
Darren writes: "“XBOX NEEDS EXCLUSIVES!”. Sound familiar? It’s something that has been ringing in my ears since becoming an Xbox gamer nearly 20 years ago. It’s possibly the longest standing and harshest criticism levelled against Microsoft’s console family, and I can’t say I wholly disagree. However, there are some out there which can slip through the net every now and then. But bucking the trend was the original Crackdown, which was not one of them. It shifted a very healthy amount of units as well as drawing in universal praise from critics. A sequel then, would be a no-brainer."
It was basically crackdown 1 with zombies, was fun but corners were cut, solid game though.
Crackdown 1 was one of the underrated gems of last gen. I loved that game. Crackdown 2 was crackdown 1 with added zombies and gave the map a paint job. Disappointing, but still enjoyed it for what it was with the added wingsuit, toybox mode and 4 player co-op. Crackdown 3 was basically what Crackdown 2 should have been.
While it is unclear at this time whether its a glitch or intentional. Crackdown, and Crackdown 2 are now free for download on the Xbox store.
Crackdown 1 and 2 were both given for free to Xbox One users to celebrate their launch on the Xbox Live Store and backward compatibility support for the Xbox One. In addition to giving the games for free, Microsoft is now also giving the DLC for Crackdown 2.
This is easily my most anticipated game coming out on 360. Crackdown is hands down, the best franchise MS have invested in this gen.
Only possible on Xbox360.You'll start to see games which are impossible to do on other platforms Starting with Alan wake ,Halo Reach,Crackdown 2,Mass Effect 2,Splintercell Conviction its just the begining.
Loved the first game.
This bodes well for the sequal.
this game is going to be the best, the first one was the bomb, just wait till the second one!
Crackdown was a hella underrated game...
I cant wait for part 2.
