Well today as I was going through some Crackdown 2 videos on YouTube, I decided that I should go on GameStop.Com and checkout how much Crackdown 1 was......

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.
Can't wait for this game!
Day one purchase! Everything about this game sounds like it's even better than the first..
I just don't know how they managed to pack a whole city into just 1 DVD, eh Capcom/SE? Support these dev's folks just move any pre-order you had for Lost Planet 2 over to Crackdown 2 and I promise you will be happier.
It's just a place holder date. A lot of companies/sites do this. Alan Wake comes out it May, and Microsoft will spread out their exclusives so that it covers more months.
May date at GameStop. The game will most likely actually release in June.
