Crackdown 2 (360)

[SuperBeatBoy]

Just finished this. I didn't like it as much as the first game. Much preferred going into enemy bases and looking for the boss, it offered more variety. Doesn't help when you see most of the bases in their former glory not being used and seeing the absorption unit at the top easy to get too.

I'll be trading this in on Friday.

Got my 500th agility orb about 15 minutes ago, I realised the chopper at max speed shows more minimap for me to ping and I found it in the typical obscure place.

Weirdly though, I just saw it on the screen rather than the minimap! It feels good, though!

It's killing a bit of time, but it's nothing more than an expansion pack really isn't it? I think the worst thing about it is it taking you through all the places where you had all these epic boss battles against the gang leaders in the first game and they're just totally empty now.

No mission variety at all (the original game didn't have a lot of it in the first place, but this has less).

And it just looks really dated now.

Very hard game to love after spending so long playing Just Cause 2, which to me is better than it in every way.

I'm enjoying this a lot, but will likely trade it in for the Toy Story 3 game (played a bit today, looks fun for the kids) and pick it up in a month when it hits ?17.99 online somewhere. Gamestation guy was saying they had 60 copies in on Friday and only have 2 left now, which didn't sound like a lot to me but he said it's selling really well

And it just looks really dated now.

I really like how it looks.

Agree that it's really just an expansion pack, or as Boris put it "An alternative version". It almost feels like it should be an unlockable mode after you completed the original game - seriously, darken the textures a bit, throw in zombies, it's pretty much made itself.

I'm missing the first games sense of accomplishment, and my favourite weapon seems to be missing as well I do like having hundreds of enemies on screen at once though, even if it's just running them over. I treat night as an updated version of Carmageddon

[EvilBoris]

MMm an Updated Version of Carmageddon, that is well overdue

[Jebus]

Almost everything could have been DLC.

Freaks - Check
Wingsuit - Check
Renegade Orbs - Check
Moving all the orbs - Check
Cell Gang - Check

It's a game that should not have been full price.

That's not to say it's fun, but at 20 hours I've almost had my fill, and I'm not sure I'll be going back to it any time soon.

[mikewl]

Very dissapointed in this so far, I thought it all felt too similar then realised its the same map as the first game, this could have come out much sooner.

Also the Freaks just don't fit in the game world in my opinion.

Will be trading this soon.

I'm getting pretty tired of voice over man as well. And I loved voice over man in the first game.

[EvilBoris]

Set your console language to a diffferent one for a different voice

[Spatial]

F the last mission in this.

F it in the bin

[EvilBoris]

It is super hard compared to the rest of them. Just think, when you think you've done it and are running around the city afterwards causing havoc you'll be nagged by the voice to do it again

[Spatial]

Didn't realise that's what you were all on about with getting sick of his voice. That's a bug of Mercenaries 2 proportions

[Jebus]

The last mission nearly made me ragequit my own game session.

I hate how they finished this game.

[Dezm0nd]

That's the sound of a Gamerdork!


bit cheesed off with this game tonight, we all went to do the battle bus achievement but because I had already got the vehicle ring everyone else cheered besides me.

This then lead to everyone running off and not helping me out, ah well it's just a poxy achievement *shakes fist*
