IGN writes: "The original Crackdown wasn't necessarily one of the highest scoring games of its time, but it certainly left its mark. It was one of those titles that served up a huge amount of raw gameplay, and was incredibly good fun to play as a result, but that needed a bit more sculpting (particularly as far as its missions were concerned) to fulfil its true potential. Can the sequel take all that good stuff and shape it into the ultimate super hero-infused open-world shooter? That remains to be seen, but we do know quite a bit about the game now, and have been able to divine the ten commandments that are helping to shape the sequel".
