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.
Not bad at all
I was expecting larger, but the assets aren't all that "shiny" if you know what I mean. Probably also some good audio compression?
Sounds about right. The art assets aren't overwhelming and MS does a good job at compression with the developers they work with.
Can't wait for this game!
... They didn't even fill up the entire disc. =/
That's how I can tell that this sequel lacks content.. or something, Because Crackdown 1 was alot bigger in size, I think 6.8gb somewhere..
Also, If the game has indeed been compressed.. then why would they do that? They've got alot of disk space to work with, you know lol 3.4GB is not the limit of DVD space
