Microsoft and Ruffian Games has announced that the open-world action game Crackdown 2 will hit stores starting July 6 in North America, July 8 in Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and July 9 in Europe.
Developed by Ruffian Games exclusively for Xbox 360, Crackdown 2 is the sequel to the award-winning 2007 title, Crackdown. Offering cutting edge gameplay, Crackdown 2 will take multiplayer gaming to unprecedented heights, providing you and your friends with complete freedom to explore, destroy, and play your way as you restore justice to Pacific City.

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.
loved the 1st 1 =)
just wish there was more of a story to the game
Ok great! I'm glad were getting so many good games during the spring and summer. Crackdown2 is a 360 must have for me.
This makes me happy.
At least it's not in the first half of this year like everything else. This will give me some time to beat all of the other games coming out before June.
Thank god it's not may.... may is another month crazy for games... Alan Wake, Lost Planet 2, Red Dead Redemption....
