 Just can't put this game down July 25, 2010
John Breakwell (Reading, Berkshire, UK)
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I loved the first Crackdown to death and can honestly say that I would not choose to play any other game in preference. Crackdown 2 hasn't changed this except I now need to decide which Crackdown I want to play.
What really works for me is the open world where you can just ignore the missions and go off exploring. It's a lovingly created environment - each building has been individually designed with exploration in mind. The new Pacific City can be a sad place as all the buildings you knew and loved from the first game are dark and broken. If you spent many happy hours exploring before then the whole feel is different now, more dirty and run-down in parts, for example. I still get the sense of vertigo when climbing the really tall buildings, though - this feeling of immersion is such a positive aspect of the game.
Orb hunting has been extended with the addition of ones that have to be chased down and those that are static, available in Coop-only XBL mode. The HUD has a short-range scan feature to help locate the orbs which is a nice touch that I make use of a lot.
Roof-top and road races are as before, as are the stunt rings except with the addition of those for the gliding ability added to the Agent's suit at higher agility levels. This limited form of flight is sweet and helps remove the risk of pancaking when climbing the Agency or Hope Towers (the latter building being a new addition). The star of the show, though, is the helicopter which allows you to navigate to anywhere in the city and blow things up.
There are missions to step you through the story, should you so wish. The Cell are a straight swap for the crime groups of the first version and don't offer too much of a challenge if you take your time. Dealing with the freaks in their homes, though, is another matter as you are battling a horde and need to quick and resourceful.
Other people have complained about the plot and I don't really understand what they are griping about. There is actually a story which unfolds - first through the five downloadable webcomics and then with the in-game audio tapes that you can discover around the city - and one I am interested in following. Sure, you don't have any deep Fable-style RPG interaction but Crackdown isn't that sort of game - Crackdown is ... Crackdown.
In summary, with Crackdown 2 you get an FPS, a driving sim, a flying sim, an Easter egg hunt, and puzzle solving (how to climb buildings), all in a co-op sandbox world.
Haven't Played The First August 11, 2010

Ok I haven't played the first but this game is pretty awesome. Alot like the GTA series. The plot doesn't make sense though. I haven't done the multiplayer yet but i bet it is very good. Overall it's a very good game!
This game is FUN! An extremely solid well made game. September 5, 2010

Crackdown 2 is without a doubt a very fun and enjoyable game. I never played Crackdown 1. As for Crackdown 2, I've been playing it now for several days and I'm having a blast with it. I bought this game because I wanted to wear cool looking upgradeable armor (check), run around killing everything in my path that isn't on my side, hoodlums and mutant FREAKS! (check), all the while using huge powerful weapons and being able to level up my speed, power, strength and abilities making me more and more invincible as the game progresses (check). It's got everything I wanted and expected from THIS game. Bottom line, it's fun. It has a fun factor of WOW! The controls are superb, the ambience is perfect, the narration that accompanies you along your way is HILARIOUS and enjoyable (Just makes you feel good knowing you have the voice of the Agency on your side as you clean up the city). My Police Officer neighbor borrowed my game, fell in love with it instantly and now he went out and bought it too! I can't wait to try the multiplayer co-op with him.
If you're sitting on the fence over whether or not to buy it, jump down into the store and get it. If you like shooters, buy it. I have long hair and I love the Lord Jesus! And I want to thank God for such a wonderful game as Crackdown 2! Thanks God! (Spoken while pointing both index fingers toward the Heavens). Let's hope and pray there is a Crackdow 3, it would be a shame if this series came to an end. Crackdown 2 is SO MUCH FUN!
An Honest Gamers review on Crackdown 2... July 10, 2010
Dustin D. Smith (USA)
5 out of 8 found this review helpful
Before I get to Crackdown 2, I want you to remember the glory days of games like Metal Slug, Gunstar Heroes, and any type of vertical flying shooter. In these games you have the guilty pleasure of going around blasting like hell at everything to make it to the end of the level. Even if the game had a weak story, it was fun back then... right? Many people won't complain about those old 2D shoot'em ups. What Crackdown 2 is (in my mind) a 3D version of any type of shoot'em up, it is just hidden under the new age of gaming and 3D explorable worlds.
If you come into this game having super high expectations and you did not really enjoy the first Crackdown, then steer clear of this game as well. As for everyone else, listen up. Yes it's set in the first city as Crackdown 1, and yes the graphics haven't improved, but I am here to tell you this game has its sights set in the right direction and offers a lot of fun and mindless shooting and collecting game play. (just like a certain generation of older games I already mentioned.) It is great to run around as a beefed up super cop and take down crime, while being steadily rewarded from your kills and driving with the orbs. Seeing your character get bigger and faster is awesome and the power suit he wears even changes as he levels up and looks more badass which each level (think Iron Man on steroids.)
The "Freaks" at night are fun to snipe from rooftops and blow up, and there are tons of them on the screen at once. The first time I jumped off a tall building and then glided over a swarm of freaks finally dropping 100 feet out of midair and groud-pounding the crap out of them was amazing and never gets old. Shooting swarms of enemies really took me back to those mindless shooter games that I loved and still love today.
Every game has its flaws and Crackdown 2 has several. (Things I thought were noticeable)
- Auto aim is pretty clunky sometimes, but free aiming is also optional and fun
- Melee combat is stiff and needs more combos
- Character Customization is very limited, I wish they added some more options to make your agent reflect your own style
- No pistols, I really like using pistols
- Wish they added a dual wielding weapon option
- Shooting from ledges would be sweet
- You can't aim down the scope with a sniper rifle, but with crap tons of enemies everywhere it would take too long and I found sniping people from a distance to still be satisfying.
- The "ramming" ability doesn't look fast enough when the agent is running.
- City kinda looks like LEGO Land in some places: blocky buildings, solid colors.
- Climbing can be frustrating sometimes. If they had the climbing and lock on jumping system of INFAMOUS this game would be so much better.
- A wall run feature would be amazing as well
While this list seems long and bad, most of these comments are things I wished they put in the game. There are plenty of good parts too!
-Suit looks badass
- !!! Jumping off of rooftops and GLIDING is complicated and seems crappy UNTIL you figure out how to do it! You have to jump off a high enough place and once you activate the gliding and see his limbs splay out and the BLUE trail of lines behind you, you gotta aim his body downwards: once he dips low enough the lines will turn RED and then you slam the control stick back (I play with inverted Y axis) to make him shoot back up into the air and you just repeat those steps and you can go really far! You will eventually land, but it is so COOL!
- Ok, despite what others say, this city is ALIVE! I found a guy playing an acoustic guitar SINGING a SONG about the agency and the cell and there was a crowd watching and some were dancing to the beat! I was quite impressed! I also saw a guy on the street trying to sell a miracle drug to a crowd...LOL awesome!
- guns are awesome and sound great, I love the crack of the non silenced sniper rifle.
- driving is really fun, great stunts
- Draw distance is quite amazing from even the tallest building
- People in the game will comment on your actions; bad guys cuss and yell at you
- freaks sound very good, especially for this game which isn't even a horror game.
- orb finder is helpful
- Renegade orbs are a nice new challenge
- freaks will chase you on the rooftops
- explosions are epic
- jumping is just as awesome as the first Crackdown
- Scaling buildings may not be realistic, but it gets the job done, plus I don't wanna spend 5 minutes trying to climb a building anyway. I want to scale it as fast as I can; it's a super hero type game!
- Ramming into cars and freaks is fun as hell
- Power drop from the air is great and looks sweet and does lots of damage
- Helicopters! And surprisingly they control excellently!
- Sticky mag grenade
To all of you who loved the first Crackdown and just want some more orb collecting, gun shooting, roof jumping, freak killing goodness then definitely get this game. I am sure it is fun online too. Overall I give this game an 8.7 out of 10 for the few actual flaws that stand out to me, but overall it's a blast to play!
And as side note: If you are deciding between this or Red Dead Redemption, choose Crackdown 2. RDR has some of the most boring game play I have ever witnessed in all the games I have ever played, do you really wanna tap the "A" button for 8 minutes while riding a pony to get somewhere?! Or would you rather being jumping massive buildings and blowing up hundreds of zombies in a badass agent suit?!
Great fun and additive gameplay July 22, 2010

All i have to say for a game that's been in development for 18 months they took a game that i loved and made it even better. Can't stop playing it. And with 3 other friends it's a ton of fun. A game like this does not need a story. If you're looking for a story read a book if you're looking for a fun additive game get this. If you are a true fan of the 1st game there is no reason and i mean no reason why you wouldn't love this game.
