Crackdown 2

TGS 09: Crackdown 2 Media Explosion [3 Vids & 4 Screens]
Written Friday, September 25, 2009 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

Microsoft are spearheading their TGS raid this week with the follow up to their unsung hero, Crackdown.

Coming straight out of Tokyo is a ton of media for Crackdown 2 including a 20 plus minute presentation, a couple of minutes of the game's deathmatch and 4 sexy looking screens where you can spot the return of those damn agility orbs. The game is looking good, although doesn't seem to be looking that different from the original.


Check out the Crackdown 2 gallery here.

Oh my god, I'm so glad I chose to get online before I went to work. This made my day. Mostly though, it was the way the explosive canisters look in the first screen shot.

Veryyyyyyyy excited about this. Finding the orbs was kinda fun acutally. But I hope its not 800 combined like the 1st. Especially when you go through all 500 aglity orbs to only find out your missing 1.

I liked the first game and I'm still working on completing it 100%... but I just don't need anymore than that.

Incredible! I'm actually impressed with the multiplayer. The fact that the agent can reach high points and great hiding spots will make deathmatches more fun than just running on the ground in an open area or arena.

Sweet. Kinda sucks about MP (why do so many games feel the need to include bad MP modes anymore? the sooner this fad dies, the better), but the SP should hopefully remain awesome.

Bring on the orbs!

@11 not everyone likes to play by themselves. You haven't played the game and your already complaining about the MP being crap. Its very hard to find something fun or good when you go into it with a crappy mindset.

Can't wait for this. The first one was great, adding MP other than co-op only makes it better imo.

"What am I watching? Crackdown right, oh they're making a sequel, its look exactly the same."

Seriously, this looks way too lamely alike. I'm a huge fan of Crackdown but I ain't shellin out 60 bucks a game thats the same.

Also, multiplayer is unnecessary. And it usually has shitty achievements.

#1 if you look closely it's not explosive barrels but gas canisters. I'm guessing now they fire off like rockets when you puncture them.

I loved Crackdown 1, I would play the sequel in an instant.

I just started playing the first one and am totally hooked. I can't wait for this to come out. I'm not one for multiplayer so I can relate to the gripes about it.

It's hard to say it's exactly the same simply by the map. The missions will be different as well as the look and feel of the game in other areas. So far it looks like another game I'll be pre-ordering.

Oh god not more orbs. I see Multiplayer has been shoe horned into yet another game that doesn't need it :(

Thank god this doesn't include a beta to a popular game this time so the only people playing it won't be a bunch of 12 year olds =-P

@21
Change something that works? thats smart? Lets take gears for example... gears one best game ever... gears two for b button whores... changed the gameplay and the game died... Simple as... A sequel should be for the devoted player especially if the previous game was such a success

@33- Are you fucking high? GoW 1 was the king of the shotgun two piece, the pistol beat down the sniper club beating you down if they missed with an active. GoW 2 was everything GoW was, except with a storyline.

Cant wait for Crackdown 2

I think the first Crackdown is the biggest fun on Xbox 360 after Halos. I'm glad they decided to make a sequel but it's stupid that the graphics aren't very updated now.

The only problem I have is that the city looks way too alike, they could have changed it a bit instead of just making it "damaged"

I hate being alone in games in general, so I'm glad they bumped up the Co-Op to 4. (I would've gone with 6 or 8, but 4 is fine) I don't care much for deathmatch with serious ego issued people (ex: Any Halo game). I can't wait for this... but I guess I have to since it doesn't come out till around summer 2010.

Crackdown is always going to be my favorite game ever. Noone can change my mind with their negative attitudes.

Cool, but to be honest, it doesn't look much different, or better than the first game except for Deathmatch.
