I can't put down the controller, the game is incredibly fun.  i REALLY dig the freaks/zombies in this game, i always wanted to play as a superhero in a post-apocalyptic world.
 
<3 you Crackdown 2.

No, just no.... I have so much hate for that game.

I've already wrote about my thoughts on this half-assed game. I won't repeat myself. "

" If you played the first crackdown and loved it then you would know on how much of disappointment the second one is. Ruffian completely cock slapped us in the face and did not address anything we hated about the first game nor add any significant improvements to it either. "hey lets just add freaks and more orbs, that should keep the fans happy"  
  
I haven't tried out any of the competitive multiplayer modes yet so maybe my opinion which change slightly but i heard its not too great either. "

" @Axxol: Fail thread? Some of us actually thought it was a good game! "

. why would they even make a sequel is my question? the sales of the first weren't that great if i remember correctly and 90% of those who did get it...got it for the halo 3 demo right? tried em both. hated them both. 

Not even planning on picking it up. Ever. Looks like ass.

I had fun with it ,but i went into it with the mindset that its just more crackdown and thats what i got. I really don't understand what these people are so upset about, really what were they expecting.

Maybe I should add more constructive criticism, instead of raging. I apologize for my previous display of ignorance. The game was very repetitive. Since the storyline was weak, and it was very short. This could have been dlc, not a $60 game.

Okey dokey Mr.Grumpy. ^^ "

Not grumpy, I just don't like the game. Good luck with this fail thread of yours... "

Personally I think its brilliant, and anyone who complains about lack of narrative is SPECTACULARLY missing the point.

I'm having fun. I wont say it' a good game but I am enjoying it a lot.

I paid £45 for it.
Yeah.... I knew within 10 minutes of playing I had completely wasted my money D:

Looks like crap, but much like the original Crackdown and Prototype for that matter, that doesn't stop it from having the potential for some fun. I'll be getting it eventually when I can find it for around £20.

OP has low standards, which is great, because that means he can be happy with a lot of things. So power to you, OP. I wish I could be happy.

Although this game wasnt what i was hoping for, i still enjoyed it.  Crackdown is one of my favorite games and every now and then ill go back and play it.  A few months back i went and replayed the entire game in anticipation for this.  Although it was a big let down, im still having fun with it.  The story was way too short, but with the ending it leads more into a possible third installment of the series.  Who knows, if they do continue on with it, hopefully they will learn from all their mistakes on this second one.  
 
With that being said, agents, get your asses back to work

I haven't played the game yet and I still have to beat the first game.

i think whats most upsetting is that for a sequel there really wasn't that much change i mean it takes place in a slightly different but yet the same fucking city for Christ sake, the point of a sequel is because the developer wants more to add to the game in this case it seems like they were just trying to cash in on orb hysteria.

running freaks over isn't getting old

It seems like a decent enough sequel. But I can easily say that the first one was better based purely on the gameplay and the enemies you face with the whole crime syndicate tree and your options of who to face. The whole progression with your objectives in the second game is crap with just having to activate the beacons and that stuff. But luckily that is only second in my mind for this game behind all the collectible collecting with orbs and everything. I mean that has really turned more into a fad than actually a good gameplay part of the game. But it has become amusing collecting all the different orbs everywhere with a map. But I'm only doing that for the achievements really. But I do have to say that it has been at least pretty enjoyable collecting all the orbs and such. But that really shows what the game is when the collecting part of the game is better than a game where the gameplay is about platforming and shooting.

Only time i was collecting orbs was when i was going for The Closer achievement.  I hated how i had to wait till night time to do that.  Half the time id get 3 closed breaches a night then working on my 4th and the sun would be coming up and id have to start over the next night.  They could of at least let you finish closing the breach that you're working on if you had already started it.  So now that i've set off all beacons (why does the final mission never show completed?), captured all tactical locations, and closed all breaches i think im done playing this.  Orb hunting to me is a waste of time, i could be playing something more productive and entertaining then jumping building tops and looking for hidden orbs.
 
Quesiton: After you close all breaches is the freak population affected?
 
I notice after i took over all tactical points The Cell is more or less absent from the game.  I see some but not as many as before.

Yuck. No thanks. Crackdown is terrible, and Crackdown 2 is more of the same awfulness.

Do we really need to shit all over this guy's thread?  I'm no fonder of this game than are most of you, but I still see no reason to come into this thread, which clearly isn't targeted at you based upon the title, and hate on the game this guy happens to like.  Leave the thread to the people it was meant for, please.

" Not even planning on picking it up. Ever. Looks like ass. "

I loved the first one and thought it was much better then Prototype.  Started playing the second one last night and I'm enjoying it.  Yes, I agree that the dev should've done more like a new city and a lot better story but there is always Crackdown 3.

I'm not gonna lie. I. Fucking. Love. This. Game. 
I loved the first Crackdown and this is more of the same with freaks, which I think is a great addition. 4 player coop, and the online actually works this time, are reasons enough for me to enjoy it. 
The one drawback is that its more online focused, which definitely sacrifices the singleplayer. 
I could imagine all these CD2 haters for hating it because they play it alone. Protip: play this game with a few friends and it becomes a BLAST. 
 
P.S. However, I did enjoy the first Crackdown more, I just don't see reason to hate this game. Also, realize that I bought this game at 30 dollars, even though I would buy it at 60. It's probably the best 30 dollars I've spent on a video game.

I'm having a ton of fun with it, just bought it and the toy box DLC and the rocket boots are awesome. If anyone's interested in running some coop with me shoot me a message.
