Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone here on dakka dakka have played this. Because I preordered it and they said i won't be able to get until the 14th.
I was wondering is it as good as the first one or better?

I think it comes out at the same time for everyone . . . although KillKrazy may have conceivably gotten ahold of it through his work. I'm pretty pumped for CD2 although I didn't play the first one. Looks relatively good for a non-blockbuster.

I've tried the demo a bit and it feels just like the first one.

Well at least you have helicopters in this one.

And gliderpacks built into your armor when you max out Agility.
And Flocket Launchers.

There's TONS of fun stuff Russ, myself and a few others were playing it till the wee hours last night.

How?

How what?

Ah nothing. Misunderstanding on my part.

YOU CONFUSE ME!

I love the fact that turrets can be ripped off their mounts and used...then placed back on the mount to refresh the ammunition

XD. I just got the game.
It is too awesome.

I bit to repetitive. atleast in the first one it had go after different bosses in different hide outs with different abilities. but i got to beacon 2 and idk. I may finish it this week and not look back.

There are bosses in the game. And they are hard :O

Returned it. Didnt like it. Aprently i wasnt the only one. Like 10-15 other people did too.

Why don't you just rent games if you want to try them out?

Because EB(and all the other clone shops) is basically a rent a game for free place. If you have no conscience.

I know a guy who plays all the new games and just takes them back. The only thing he has held onto is MW2.

On Topic the game didn't look that interesting to me. I am not a huge fan of zombies.

And another problem. not plot. Other then sunburst it was nothing really motivating you. If i made the game it would have incuded the clone agent start to doupt the agency. Discovering himself and brea free from the agency.

People are playing Crackdown for the story?

Seriously?

It's a sandbox superhero game, play it to screw around with friends.

Is it so wrong to want both?

By its very definition, you can't have a very good "sandbox" game restricted by a lot of story.

GTA 4. remember that gem?

And no i wasnt playing it for the story. But i need plots in games. I just do.

There is a plot. You have to be collecting the Audio Logs to really understand it, and not quit after the second or third beacon. Around beacon 4, Thorne starts breaking into Agency comms and informs you of...things.

Also: GTA4 story? Yeah, we'll go with that.

Crackdown 2 or as we like to call it "Super donkey-cave cop" is all about being a violent donkey-cave who throws cars into people and juggles grannies with homing rockets. The previous game lacked a story, this one does to, it doesn't really need one when you can be an donkey-cave who jumps on people and uses cars as melee weapons.

collect the damn AUDIO LOGS! DAMNIT!

I rented it. Had a big session on saturday night, got all the tac locations, all the beacons, did the final mission. But the Agency building was still incomplete. Since sent it back but does anyone know what you have to do to get the building finished?

There is a story if you look deep enough. And it's a fairly good concept. Basilically you think your the good guy and you gradually start realising your the bad guy. It's a story along the same lines as Portal rather than a full linear set up.

After you do everything. Did you get to helipad? Did you max out your Agilitiy you get a special surprise . Also look in the Keep. And look for a cavern in there you will find something. Also when you get the helicopter try and get the story orbs. Nothing happens when you complete the tower except you get lots of cool stuff. Look for everything. It makes for an awesome single player. Just don't do the missions. I had alot of fun in the helicopter! I did everything story orbs, hidden orbs. But i don't have Xbox live. Do it with friends it is awesome and it is blast with two or more friends not by yourself :*(. Also did you do the mission where you fight the agent freaks?

You have to do all that to get the tower complete?

I found the helipad yes. But I only got to 5.5 agilty maybe that's what I needed.

did you get the heli?

Alrighty my review of the game.....

Graphics. I can't really complain about the graphics but they got worst from the orginial crackdown. 8.5/10

Gameplay. Oh my god they didn't fix anything that everyone complained about from the first one *facepalm*. They have made it worst D:. This really made the game even more difficult and annoying. The driving is actually worst than its predcessor as just a little touch to your control stick will boost your car into a building exploding on impact. Your character at the end of the game is very fun to use but the problem still remains with the aiming system. 8.0/10

Story. There was no followable story. It was basically go here kill this guy. But if you find the story orbs (which are hard as hell to find.) you can follow the story. 6.0/10

fun? Yes it was pretty damn fun. it is a blast with four or more players. By yourself it is also fun. 9/10

Total Score..... 6.9/10
This game is a must rent. As you will get bored once you have done anything. But it is not a keeper. Now excuse me I will go back to playing Starcraft 2.
