PAX East is underway and Microsoft is showcasing their upcoming exclusive, Crackdown 2 at the event. Giving attendees some hands-on time with the title, Crackdown 2 is looking to expand on everything from the first game with better graphics, physics, and gameplay. Microsoft has released a new batch of screens of Crackdown 2 to commemorate PAX East.

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.
Wow this game is looking phenomenal.
Looks better than Uncharted 2
Crackdown 2 is the big game at PAX right now. Lots of gamers are excited to try it out.
I hope there are a lot of BFGs.
I want this so badly. Been needing this since I completed Prototype.
