The latest issue of Game Informer has an exclusive look at Crackdown 2.
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.
Sounds promising.
The first Crackdown was a breath of fresh air......... but to me same city, weapons and vehicles sounds like DLC.
None the less Im still gunna buy the game, as i still play the original from time to time.
All i can really say is thank GOD! they are keeping the Speargun. Nothing beats killing a boss, picking up his corpse chucking him towards the wall at the entrance to his fortress, and nailing the body in place so everyone can admire your handy work.
Nice....
Putting turrets in was a great idea .
After getting a hefty income boost, curtesy of new line of work, I'm finally considering getting an Xbox 360. The three biggest reasons where: Left 4 Dead, Gears of War (1 not 2) & Crackdown =D
