IncGamers' Emily Gera returns to Pacific City in Realtime Worlds' sandbox sequel.
From the preview:
"When Crackdown was released back in 2007, Microsoft Game Studios decided to bundle it with an access code for the Halo 3 beta. The move made some gamers suspicious - Crackdown was either going to be rubbish or simply another new IP struggling to find an audience all on its own."
Darren writes: "“XBOX NEEDS EXCLUSIVES!”. Sound familiar? It’s something that has been ringing in my ears since becoming an Xbox gamer nearly 20 years ago. 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.
Really looking forward to this. The first game was great, and it sounds like Crackdown 2 is going to fix what few problems there were with the original :)
Never a good sign when a game gets bundled, but it actually sounds decent.
never sounds good, more like but it is a wise move to try and get a larger player base
Well, not that rubbish!
Been waiting for this multiplayer will be a blast.
