Microsoft released the Crackdown 2 demo to the public yesterday and many are playing the game for one reason: Achievements. This is the first Xbox 360 game demo that allows you collect in game achievements and once you put the full retail release in your system, you'll unlock 100 Achievement Points with no additional effort. The catch is that the demo is locked to 30 minute game intervals, but, of course, there is a work around that will give you unlimited amount of time to collect the achievements and gallivant through the demo completing all the missions you want.

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.
Ahhh, now there's some helpful information, awesome!
Sweet! looks like we won't need the full game after all. Well.. unless we want achievements
Skills for kills! And lots of time too...
People will play this until the full release now.
