    I thought I saw somewhere,possibly here, that there was supposed to be a Crackdown 2 demo before its release. 
    Any news on that?

    **UPDATE!-

    apparently you download the demo and get an automatic 100 gamerscore in the full game

    I think the developers said there was going to be one.  I don't know if they gave a date for it though.  The demo was what really sold me on the first game.

    I havent played it yet, but man from the previews I gotta say the only real thing its got going for it is the 4-player co-op and zombies. I think its because with the first one,most people bought it for the Halo 3 beta and it ended up being a very good sandbox game

    Well, it should be known first off that while I really enjoyed Crackdown 1, I don't think I idolized it to the point where others love it. The demo is a 30-minute timed thingie which isn't bad, I've played it twice now. I don't especially like how running into citizens stops you in your tracks, shouldn't you be able to barrel through them? Just seemed odd. I don't know how much I like the new art style either. Maybe it just needs some time to grow on me. Aside from that, it doesn't seem to really build on what the first game did. Granted I didn't do any co-op but the zombies seemed like a lifeless addition (no pun intended). Then again, it was only a demo, I'm sure some fun will be wrought with 4-player co-op. Also, seeing how some parts of the city changed was interesting to see.

    @CowboyBebopper: As far as the 30-minute timed setup goes, is that just a thing where it's like "hey, play around for 30 minutes" or are there any missions within it to play around with it?  Alternative objectives? 
     
    If it's just "play around", then that's cool with me, as it'll show off some of the improvements they made.

    I wasn't a huge fan of the original Crackdown.  I found it rather short, clunky, and monotonous.  But I'm willing to give this game a chance.  I would really like to play this demo.

    @jakob187: There's some objectives, they seem like early story objectives with some of the backstory stripped away. It's mostly do whatever you want though.
     
    After playing in 2-player co-op I can say it is better with others, but still not a fully satisfying experience, at least IMO.

    Played the demo for about an hour in total, haven't gotten any of the 10 achievements though. I really like that they let you pretty much do anything but my overall impression is "yep, thats Crackdown" which is great.

    Played the demo a bit. Seems very unpolished and little more than a platformer w/ orb collection.  Gun controls make me feel stupid, like the game doesn't trust me with a targeting reticule.
     
    Didn't play Crackdown 1 though, so take my comments with a grain of salt.

    I thought the demo was terrible. The announcer is way overused and most of his new lines feel really forced. The freaks are just like the gangs but without the personality and the new art style got boring before the demo was over.
