Think you've beaten the 30-minute Crackdown 2 demo doing the rounds on Xbox Live Marketplace? Think again. If you're thirsty for more of a challenge, Ruffian Games has unlocked 'ruthless' difficulty for you to sample today.

What's more, 'psychotic' difficulty will also be unlocked tomorrow with 'sadistic' to follow on Friday. It's a week of increasingly tough Crackdown 2 action then! Huzzah!

Go hook up the demo from the Xbox Live Marketplace now if you haven't already, Agents!

Crackdown 2 is out on July 6th in th US, July 9th in the UK and Europe.

yeah theres no need for the time limit and tbh this game isnt doing enough to make me think a sequel was viable and the demo kind of proves that

step 1: start demo
2: get to the agent select screen
3. when it asks if your sure, unplug your ethernet and press A simultaneously
4. you should get an error message, plug back in ur ethernet and sign in
5. start demo... NO TIME LIMIT.
6. enjoy and don't buy crackdown 2 :)

Demo just feels like they recycled all the things i loved about the first one - ok, but not great (will wait till it drops past the £20 mark)

#4 - i dont know if it's patched yet, but youre missing a step. maybe that way works, but i did it another way that worked. i only did it once and had my fun with the demo. if i remember, after step 4, you press cancel, then start the game and the timer should be frozen.

The demo is extremely poor in my opinion. I loved Crackdown but the 'improved' targeting system is everything but. Shoddy graphics too, I think I'll pass on #2...

Everyone here is stupid.... the game is a sequel. Was Gears of War 2 drastically different from Gears 1? Halo 2 to Halo 3? No. Also they stated that the targeting in the demo is screwed up and it is fixed in the normal game. So stop your whining and miss out on one of the greatest games this year if you want.

Graphics are worse, aiming is worse, driving is worse (I didn't think it would be possible but they did it).
One of my favorite games up to this point gets a shoddy sequel, hello LostPlanet/BioShock all over again.

The graphics were definitely more HD and had shinier properties, but this game was just dumb. At least the first felt like it was a living city, even if it always boiled down to killing gang leaders. This one is just bland and uninspired.

I don't get the fuss about Crapdown!

Crap graphics! (no i'm not a graphics whore)
Crap gunplay! Feels like you are firing plastic! Awful!
Crap melee! No ooooomph!
Crap AI! No words needed here.
Crap aiming! I want to aim at him not that god damn bin!
Crappy in every aspect.

To Everybody Who Says The Demo Is Crap: There's a reason why it's called a demo; to try the new aspects of the game. Of course its going to have crappy graphics, bad targeting system, and any other flaw you find about the demo, but again it's called a demo for a reason. I'm pretty sure the real game is going to be better.... hopefully lol.

Hey; the demo was not that bad... yes, it has targeting issues, but again it is a demo! I know I will have fun with it, and I want the extra armor, so 1st day buy for me.

The first one I liked, this one not so much. Also, the time limit in the demo was not needed. The demo was not that great to begin with.

I don't care about the aiming system because I put it on easy and ran around punching people to get my strength up, but that time limit killed it for me.

@25 One of the greatest? I wouldn't even put it in that category. Games that will take that title are: RDR (of course), Fable 3, Reach, and CoD: Black Ops (even though the gameplay will be a "Treyarch special", the sales alone will net it the title.)

Yeah, the aiming's not the greatest. And yeah, maybe the city is pretty bland in comparison to GTAIV for example.

But can anyone tell me a game where you can pick up and throw the car you were momentarily before driving up the side of the building, throw said car 50 feet through the air and crush a handful of enemies?

There's only one of it's kind. So fuck off, and if you don't "get it", then that's fine. It's still a great fucking game.

Oh, and the difference between Crackdown 1 and 2? 2 people ruling a city vertically and horizontally, versus 4 people slaughtering a city full of freaks, vertically and horizontally.

It did feel just like the first game and some people will like that and some people won't. I feel like the gameplay is dated. It was fun back then but now there is just so much better game material out there for me to try out that it makes this game a pass for me. I may pick it up when there is a month that nothing I want comes out or once I see it at least under $30.

haha #25 "was gears of war drastically different than gears of war 1?"
YES, yes it was, GoW2 was terrible, and gears 1 was epic. As for changes, the lighting and textures were very different in gears 2, and the gameplay/damage/weapons were all but the same.
sorry, you chose a bad example

anyways, i love Crackdown, i didnt have to play the demo to know it was going to be just as good, if not better than the 1st one.
