never did like the look of crackdown 2.... just to.... odd

 

[SexMeat]

I've been looking forward to this because I loved the first so I'll probably defy the mighty Yahtzee and get it anyway.

Anyone else get phone interference or is my phone trying to make me feel lonely by tricking me into thinking someone is trying to call me?

 

[randomrob]

Great video as usual. Is it me or are x-box exclusives getting fewer and less good?

 

[Premonition]

Another fine episode, good sir. Although I would try and see if there is anyway you could remove the noise my headphone makes when my cellphone receives a signal.

 

[Quickening666]

Yeah it's annoying when you forget to turn your mobile off while recording a video only to realise that it has been tainted with interference after completion. Happened to me a thousand times. Luckily I don't have too many friends so I can safetly leave it switched off all the time.

Yay Blair slogans

 

[QuiB25]

Do the first two people that respond to something get put on probation automatically or what? I'm really trying to figure out why they were.

Anyway great vid. I might have to check out the first crackdown.

Cel-shading does strange things to a game's graphics. It looks better 5 years down the line because it ages well, but it's ugly to start with so it looks bad when the game comes out. Crackdown 2 doesn't apply the effect strongly, in any case.

I just wanted to quote you so I could be like all my friends, who think they are cooler then me (and probably are) Other then that I agree with you about most games that you review. The video is also win.

 

[imnot]

that really happens to WoW subscriber's, christ it's a good job i dont play it!

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I only played a demo of Crackdown 1 and i didn't like it and the way this was described it's looking like a good decision not to play the game

 

[Flashdeath30]

What on earth was the static sort of noise near the end? Was that only me, or was there something annoyingly beeping in the background at one point?

 

[aDuck]

Yeah, pretty sure yahtzee got a text or something during the video...

Seems like another case of games that shouldnt have made sequals... although i will never know becuase PS3 is where its at

Funny review as usual for ZP, however...

Dear Mr. Croshaw,

Can you please stop reviewing console only games, and give us a review that some of us PC gamer types might be interested in? Out of the last four reviews, only one has been a game (Singularity) that has been available on the PC. I'm sure there are some multi-platform games out there that are worthy of a ZP review. After all, reviewing a Mario title sets the bar pretty damn low.

Thank you!

 

[Kay-Fett]

Brilliant as usual. I've only played the first Crackdown. Was going to get the second. Not anymore.

Now I can get those action figures!

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

I think I might get Transformers: War For Cybertron instead of Crakdown 2 now. I'm happy with Crackdown 1, and if nothing's changed, I'm not paying £40 for it.
