    So while Crackdown 2 is very much the same style of game that everyone either loved or hated.  I just have to mention how great I thought the music was in the demo. 
     
    I wont lie that I think Perfect Dark for the N64 had some of the best music ever in a game.  The menu music in Crackdown 2 could easily have been placed inside the classic Perfect Dark game and fit right in, it never gets old. 
     
    Anyway after blowing some stuff up and calling in some choppers - I jump around until finding a vehicle to drive.  I am instantly greeted to a Creedence Clearwater Revival: Bad Moon Rising remix.  Its great and I stay in the truck to listen to some more songs.  My time limit expires with me sitting in car, I guess I wasn't that concerned about saving mankind.  
     
    I can see the fun I'll have carrying my car sized jukebox around with me once I'm strong enough to pick them up, causing chaos at the same time.
     
    I found this good article about the man behind the music, its an good read -  http://www.joystiq.com/2010/05/14/interview-audio-director-kristofor-mellroth-on-the-sounds-of-cr/

    Damn, I really can't wait to play this demo later on tonight. Crackdown is one of my favorite games in the last little while and I've been hearing a lot of good things about Crackdown 2 for people who liked the first. Bad Moon Rising remix sounds cool too!
