Good ideaFriday, July 02, 2010 @ 08:14 AM
wow odd.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 08:17 AM
and now for something completely different?!?Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 08:18 AM
Copy a save game from teh internetzz? Considering i've had my 360 for 6 months and Crackdown was one of those games what everybody with a xbox should play, i didn like it and croackdown 2 is the same shit but.. somewhat worseFriday, July 02, 2010 @ 08:28 AM
nobody plays perfect dark online...dont see this changing itFriday, July 02, 2010 @ 08:32 AM
@4 Actually it is totally differ from the first. WTf were you playing?Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 08:35 AM
#6 what they showed in the Demo could as well been Crackdown 1 just with zombies at night. Without transforming Agency vehicles.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 08:36 AM
Eh half my message was deleted? But what I also said yea I agree with you from what I've seen from gameplay vids there is a significant chance. It's just that they didn't show that in the demo, which is for that reason kind of bad marketing.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 09:01 AM
See, I played the demo and though it was much better than crackdown 1. I thought it handled better, showcased some of the new features properly, and really got me excited for the release. To be honest, I was going to pass on part 2 for a while, but the demo actually convinced to go ahead and get it. To each their own I suppose. :-pFriday, July 02, 2010 @ 09:03 AM
Oh, an what would have been REALLY cool would be this marketing in reverse...crackdown detects perfect dark and unlocks agent skins from perfect dark. Just imagine playing through Crackdown as Joanna, Mr White, or even ELVIS!!Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 09:10 AM
Odd, but great! I've been playing the first Crackdown since it came out TO THIS DAY and I still really enjoy it. Can't wait to pick up the second on Tuesday.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 09:15 AM
pretty cool idea. another reason to spend more money and justify why i did it.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 09:45 AM
When is PD going on sale?Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 10:22 AM
@9 - I agree with you, but I don't think that the game warrants a full-price purchase IMO. I'm going to wait until it comes down in price and then pick it up. I don't like the Orbs enough to splash out £40 chasing them down all over again !Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 11:08 AM
@14, I can understand that. At least the 1st one had access to the Halo 3 beta which made it a sexy full-price purchase.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 12:43 PM
Oooh, that sounds fun. I might want to get Crackdown 2 anywayFriday, July 02, 2010 @ 01:15 PM
What an odd cross-promotion, but awesome!Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 03:28 PM
crackdown 2 = FUNNIST GAME EVER CREATEDFriday, July 02, 2010 @ 04:04 PM
Its for attention more people like PERFECT DARK then CRACKDOWN 2 so they need support from RARE I wonder how much they paid em.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 07:37 PM
Everyone says there's no HUGE stepup from crackdown 1 to crackdown 2, DURR, yeah, it's called 4-player co-op. Anyone who didn't like crackdown 1? Chances are you didn't play co-op. Same goes to chasing down the orbs, getting the stunt markers, and killing the bosses. I loved it all, from racing up the side of the building to get an agility orb or chucking my buddy sitting in an SUV through a marker that sits between two buildings, and watching him hilariously bounce off the walls like on a demented pinball table. I can live with Crackdown 2 being more of the same, well, plus now all my buddies can play at once. Personally, I LOVE the mag grenades, UV shotgun and how day and night differ so drastically. I think it's too easy of a game though, but Psychotic with 3 people is pretty satisfying, lol.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 07:41 PM
Not enough to convince me to buy. Perfect Dark is crap.Friday, July 02, 2010 @ 08:02 PM
This will be awesome !Saturday, July 03, 2010 @ 03:49 AM
Wth is this Agent 4... or am I missing something very obvious...Saturday, July 03, 2010 @ 01:49 PM
this is kinda cool. will go back and play some perfect dark once i get crackdown 2. the save has to be on your hard drive? i usually save to my memory unit so i better create a save to the hard drive as well for crackdown 2. i wonder once he is unlocked if i will still need the save? a little confusing but a nice idea and i can see them doing this seeing as how the games are somewhat alike in style and environment.Tuesday, July 06, 2010 @ 11:21 AM
Free content between games is a good idea...would you rather have to pay for it? DLC? Nah! More games need to do this!!!Friday, June 27, 2014 @ 12:35 PM
I like both games

Rare has announced that Crackdown 2's Agent 4 is a playable character in Perfect Dark's multiplayer, should you have a save game for Ruffian Games' upcoming sequel.
In a neat piece of cross-marketing, the reward is automatically unlocked when Perfect Dark (available now on the Xbox Live Arcade) detects a Crackdown 2 save on your HDD, granting access to the bonus character in multiplayer.
Crackdown 2 is out in North America on July 6th and Europe on July 9th.
