As I approach the end of Crackdown 2 I am losing my interest in the game almost entirely.  The missions are repetitive and I don't really care about my agent as a character.  To top it all of the voice of the agency dude is so damn annoying.  I even hate unlocking achievements in the game because I know he's going to read them off to me and say "that's an achievement!"  Anyhow, this game just really disappoints me because at one point in time I can remember feeling genuinely excited about its announcement.  I was not one of those who bought Crackdown for the Halo 3 beta.  I was actually interested in the game.  Having put some significant time into it, I found it to be one of my most beloved Xbox 360 experiences.  Now, with Crackdown 2, the formula is exhausting.  There has been zero innovation between titles.  For Christ sakes its the same city with the same BUILDINGS!  Seriously...in an age when games cost $60 at least give me a new goddamn city.  Anyhow, I'm going to post a review but I am not putting forth the effort to make a video for this one.  I'll save that for Singularity which I should finish by later this week.

I haven't played Crackdown in 2 years, so I forgot most of that stuff.  I was thinking about replaying it again, but Crackdown 2 adds just enough that I would rather play that.  I guess saying I would rather play the new game over the old one I already beat isn't much of a compliment though...

Why isn't this in the Crackdown 2 board?
