Is it multiplayer? If so I may have to stroll on over to the Xbox and get started...
4-player co-op I believe. Not sure about competitive.

I got bored of it after a couple minutes. That's just me I guess, I never played the first one or anything.

I'll check it out sometime soon, but I'm interested to hear how it compares to the first.

When I first saw it, I was like, "Oh, shit. This looks bad."

Then I played more and more and started enjoying it.

Definitely getting it when it comes out.

Just finished my first 30-minute playthrough. A few thoughts:

-Not sold on the graphical style (doesn't look as crisp as the original in my opinion)

- Still very fun (if you enjoyed the original) especially when u get 2nd and 3rd tier abilities

-Seems more robust than original (ex. weapons have stats- and I cant wait to use some of the later ones)

-Strongholds and Lairs replace boss hideouts I think, not sure what else there is (one of the start menu tabs was "locked")

-Didn't dig the agent faces, they looked really bland (ties into grahical style IMO)

-Not sure about Zombies (or whatever they are) could be really fun to mess with and u dont have to worry about constantly being shot at. But I'm not sure yet


Anyway, I'm going to buy it, but I loved the first Crackdown. At the very least it should make for some good clean fun. Also excited for 4-player co-op with fully upgraded agents.

Crackdown had decent mechanics but was hobbled by a lack of content and a horrible amount of repetition. Crackdown 2's demo was fun, but I get the feeling that chances are I saw everything there was to do in that game in the demo.

It still seems to be the king of games for messing around in. For me it comes into its own when in co-op. The UV shotgun and magnetic grenages are the best. Driving down the street at night swinging a skip from the back of your car is lots of fun.

It does seem a little rough around the edges in places. Like the physics while sometimes launch a guy 20 feet in the air from the slightest knock. But that doesn't really bother me.

-Edit-

Try going to the quarry and explore the mine shafts. Crawling with freaks and has a few jump pads too. I'd advise taking the UV shotgun with you though.

I loved the 1st Crackdown but alas I no longer own an Xbox due to the RROD and have now got a PS3. So I do have a little sadness in my heart knowing that I shall never play this game.

its good, but i dont think ill bother with the fll thing
the targeting still sucks, on account of it locking onto a car behind a building and the guy i was trying to shoot :(

Demo is good, not liking the 30 minute timer.

I didn't like the first one's demo that much, and this isn't much better. I understand I have to kill the freaks so they don't destroy the city, but I'm not made to care about anything else. In most games I play orders are hidden in story missions and favors for other characters; here a voice tells you to do things and you do them. I also didn't think it was that challenging. Eventually you can steamroll through people, kill them in one blast of a shotgun, jump over small buildings, etc. Since no one else can do this, no one else poses a threat. It doesn't help that I'm either jumping for orbs, killing freaks, or killing cell either. So, lack of focus/story, lack of challenge, and lack of variety made it not worth getting for me.
