Professional reviews from gaming critics
For the more discerning orb hunter. Sometimes, it’s hard to straddle the line between being a game critic and being a gamer. You [...]
But if you're like me, you were probably expecting a bit more. The new additions, specifically the expansion to four-player co-op, are welcome, but this hardly feels like it was worth the three-year wait. It's mostly just more of the same, in the same city, with the same shortcomings and a slightly expanded set of missions. Crackdown 2 feels uninspired and rushed, and it certainly doesn't feel like a full sequel.
Crackdown 2 will take multiplayer gaming to unprecedented levels for the ultimate cooperative and competitive multiplayer experience, providing you and your friends with the complete freedom to explore, destroy and play as you return to restore justice and peace to Pacific City by any means necessary.
Who can tell whether the first Crackdown would have sold as well without the added incentive of the Halo 3 beta invite. Coming from Realtime Worlds – who went on to make APB - no one had exceptionally high expectations for the title, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that Crackdown was not only fun, but it was an addictive and absorbing open world action romp that played upon most gamer’s obsessive desire to hoard and collect stuff – in this case, those glowing green agility orbs.
