A chunk of free and pay-for DLC will be coming to Crackdown 2 "soon," according to publisher Microsoft.
Said packs are set to share the same name (Toy Box), so think of the paid part of the content as more of an expansion on the free stuff. A result, perhaps, of neither really having the amount of meaningful content to be able to stand on its own.
That said, the best part of free content should should feel familiar to those who seriously get a kick out of Crackdown 2's ridiculous style. Keys to the City mode, the beloved debug cheat menu from the first game, is indeed coming. And similar to last time, it'll give you the ability to do insane, game-breaking stuff. A few examples of what will be available from the menu in Crackdown 2 are as follows: time of the day freezing, unlimited access resources like ammo and health, skill boosting, and weapons and vehicles spawning.
There's a bit more to free part of Toy Box. Specifically, the DLC adds a level six agility reward that gives your Agent's rockets in the bottoms of their boots. It also adds in a competitive online mode called Vehicle Tag, which we'll assume is similar to Rocket Tag but with cars.
The paid content expansion is a mash of different additions for the cool price of 560 Microsoft Bones. It's a list that includes two new vehicles, five additional weapons, two avatar awards, eight agent suit colors, and a total of ten new achievements that total to 250 points. A more precise listing is available just below.

As you can see, Toy Box adds in a lot of flashy and fresh but not a whole lot of substance. Will it be enough to get you to jump back into Crackdown 2? Or have you already moved on?
