    Crackdown 2 is the sequel to the popular open-world supercop game. Players return to Pacific City, where rampaging mutants and resistance groups vie for control of the streets. The sequel adds four-player co-op along with competitive multiplayer.

    Does anyone know if skill progression is sped up in the demo?

    Just wondering if anyone knows since it seems to go fairly quickly. I got all but the last agility level just in the 30 minute demo.

    At that rate you would be jumping over the moon at the game's end.
    The original game's demo did the same thing.

    Believe me, I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering if the game was really short and they were compensating for that fact by making you godly before too long. I imagine it's going to be more akin to Crackdown's levelling system, where it took a considerable amount of time. Due to the awful melee combat in the game as well, it's going to take a long time to build up a full Strength skill without the accelerated levelling.

    I believe the first game's demo had 3x accelerated leveling. This one seems even more accelerated than that, I wouldn't worry, it'll probably take quite a while to max out your stats.

    Strength was the first thing I maxed in the first game, I used melee all the time. It leveled pretty fast too. The most tedious skill to max was easily driving.

    Well you don't have to worry as much about that this time. With hundreds of those "freaks" on screen, all you have to do is drive around at night for a while splattering them with your ride. Should come fairly quickly even in the full game.

    That's exactly what I did. I also used the time glitch... does that make me a bad person? I do plan to buy the full game in the future though.

    There's a time glitch? As in to have infinite demo play time?

    Yup! You have to take out your ethernet cord as you prepare to enter the agent into the game and then try to enter again. Look on YouTube for a better description though.
