Manufacturer's Description
The sequel to the award-winning vertical-world adventure, Crackdown 2 is the ultimate open-ended world action experience, only available on Xbox 360. The game lets you be judge, jury, and executioner for a huge, fully explorable city. Crackdown 2 takes multiplayer gaming to unprecedented levels for the ultimate co-op and competitive multiplayer experience, providing you and your friends with the complete freedom to explore, destroy, and play your way as you restore justice and peace to Pacific City - by any means necessary.
The surprise hit of 2007 returns and this time you aren't just battling criminals but mutant creatures that have already overrun the city at night. Law and order has completely broken down and normal citizens have rebelled against the Agency to form their own group of fighters.
New Scottish company Ruffian Games was founded by two of the lead designers of Realtime Worlds' Crackdown; with other employees also coming from Realtime, as well as Lionhead Studios and Bizarre Creations. With Realtime busy on APB Ruffian's first game will be Crackdown 2.

 Even the citizens of Pacific City are against you this time |
 The search for experience orbs is as addictive as ever |
 Master some serious firepower and outrageous superpowers |
 The mutated "Freaks" mean a whole new menace to fight |
Despite the increased dangers your mission remains the same: to make Pacific City a safe place to live again. As a super human "Agent" that means you're going to have to power up even more with all-new superpowers, more explosive weaponry and a whole range of new vehicles.
Even then the odds only start to come in your favour if you team up with friends in the new four-player co-operative mode, as you take on the whole of the story campaign together. Mixing classic shoot 'em-up gameplay with platform jumping and open world adventure Crackdown 2 has everything except a quiet moment.
Key Features- Bigger is Better: The fight against crime is only half the battle now as a new mutant menace leads to even stronger superpowers and more powerful hardware.
- Buddy Cop: Team-up with other players in the massive new four-person co-operative mode as you play the whole story mission together.
- Orb of Power: Search the city for experience orbs to gain new powers such as super strength, an enhanced superjump and the new dash ability.
- Personalised Protector : Create your own customised character with the new Agent editor and select everything from your own personal armour to a new helicopter transport.
- Agency Rivalry: If you get tired of working together then choose from a full suite of competitive modes as up to 16 players fight for supremacy.

This review is from: Crackdown 2 (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
I loved the first Crackdown - the ongoing search for orbs, the super-human jumps, the mass destruction.... Good times.I went into this with low expectations, as I was burnt before with Bioshock 2. And the verdict? It's fun. Once you get past the visual changes - the graphics, for some reason aren't as good as the original, the HUD isn't as good looking as the first - the cool opaque blues are replaced by no-nonsense, ugly whites and reds - and the biggest crime, the lack of transforming vehicles, then it's business as usual. The missions may be different, but the jumps, the guns, and the orbs are all there, just in a run down version of Pacific City. A few changes to the game play are welcome. The frankly MASSIVE amount of freaks on display is impressive, and driving through them all in a beefed up car is good, dirty fun. Just one gang this time, too. The Cell. All in all, it is a true sequel if ever there was one. A new story, but the locations and action is the same. If you enjoyed the first one, there is no reason why this won't appeal to you too.

What happened, Agent?,

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Crackdown 2 (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Not much to say about this 'game' really, it's disappointing to say the least. There is no atmosphere to it, all the colour of the original has gone. Not only has this starved dog lost its sleek coat, but also its guts, the feeling of progress in this game is gone, there are no kingpins, no gang leaders, no sense of accomplishment. I could call this game the 'bare bones' of its predecessor but it isn't even that.Do yourself a favour and stay away from this shameless, half hearted effort of a quick cash in.

Virtually A Remake Of Part 1, But Still Immense Fun!,
By Daz (UK) - See all my reviews
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Crackdown 2 (Xbox 360) (Video Game)
Crackdown 2 is a third-person shooter featuring open-world, sandbox style game play. You control a genetically engineered agent assisting the Agency in the battle for Pacific City against a terrorist organization known as the Cell, and you're also tasked with keeping the run-down city clear of mutated freaks.After a brief tutorial to give you an introduction to the controls and gameplay, then a couple of missions to introduce you to the main elements of the game, you're then left on your own to roam Pacific City and play the game as you wish. In order to complete the game you are tasked with activating beacons which destroy the freaks. You can also attempt (optional) Freak Breach and Tactical Location missions, which net you additional weapons and experience which go to improve your characters strength, agility, weapons skills, explosive skills and driving skills. The beauty and curse of Crackdown 2 is that you're left to your own devices for most of the time. The beauty is that you can do the missions in any order you wish, or you can ignore the missions and do any of the optional activities in Pacific City, such as stunt jumps, running races across buildings, driving challenges etc etc. The curse is that there is virtually no storyline, and what little snippets you do get are from collecting the many audio tapes left lying around the city. A player could miss all the audio tapes and really have no idea of what is going on in the game, apart from the information given right at the start and right at the end of the game. Much has been said about the similarities between Crackdown 2 and Crackdown 1. They are virtually the same game - the graphics in Crackdown 2 have received a slight polish (although it's still never going to be winning any beauty contests), the game is set in the same city and everything `feels' the same. Although it's quite interesting to go back to Pacific City and see it in a state of disrepair, it does smack of laziness on the part of the developers. In contrast, Saints Row and Saints Row 2 were both set in Stillwater, but SR2 never felt like it was a rehash of the prequel. There are some differences, some for the good and some for the bad. The good additions include wingsuits, the ability to pilot helicopters, 4 player online co-op, and being able to `ping' orbs, whereas the bad include non-morphing cars and the lack of any storyline or `enemy' that you have to bring down. The first game had you targeting gang members to bring down a crime ring, whereas in Crackdown 2, there is no real `enemy' apart from the hordes of freaks, and not much sense of achievement when you beat the game. In the end, I really did enjoy Crackdown 2. It had me completely hooked for a very enjoyable fortnight, and I played it when I had any spare time. The game is great fun, blowing stuff up just never gets boring and hunting for the different kinds of orbs is both addictive and rewarding. The game really lights up if you can get a group of players together for some online co-op action, but it's equally fun running around the streets of Pacific City with a homing rocket launcher being told off by The Agency Voice for blowing up peacekeepers!
