Crackdown 2
Crackdown 2 plays out in a near-future.The streets are overrun with super-powered,violent,mutant criminals.You must also prevent the overthrow of the peacekeeping Agency by the terrorist organization known as the Cell.Crackdown 2 doesn't really seem to bring anything new to the table.It seems like you're playing the first game all over again,even the graphics look like their from the first game,talk about deja vu.The game also has a hard time locking on to main targets even when their standing right next to you,and the camera could also use some work.Orb collecting is back,some you have to jump on rooftops and ledges to get,others you have to chase around for a while,but it helps your Agent's abilities throughout the game giving him the ability to jump higher,and run faster.If you haven't play the first game and are willing to overlook some of it's flaws don't pass this one up.Crackdown 2 is still a good time.

Great Game, Short Story, Challenging Difficulties
I bought this game on the day of launch, is a great game. The downside is that the story I would call it is very short and doesn't have a real ending to the game. Some would say that completing the game you have to collect all of the orbs in Pacific City. In all there is over 800 orbs in the city this is why it would take so long to get 100% completion. The length of the game is truly up to the consumer, but I would say the average person will beat the game in about 15 hours of game play and 50+ if they collect all of the orbs across the city. Not in many games the main character is the good guy or the cops so it is nice to see a change. The graphics are good but there is just the every once and a while problem that is easily solves. The graphics are more like a cartoon more than a game. The closest thing to this game graphics that I can compare it with is Borderland. The difficulties are the hardest I have seen in a long time. Many people will say that the game is easy. That is because they have the character at the highest level playing at the lowest difficulty. From experience the hardest difficulty "Sadistic" is even hard for the most veteran Crackdown players to survive on. The best part though is if you have Xbox Live you can play with up to 4 other people in campaign and 16 in a verses modeOverall I would have to say that this game is a good buy for anyone looking to have a good time in a carefree game.

Outstanding followup to a outstanding game!
I was a huge fan of the original Crackdown. Can't even tell you how many hours I spent running around the city fighting bad guys and collecting orbs. This sequel is no different. The story is amazing. There's new weapons and vehicles and gadgets. New enemy's. All this makes for a game just as amazing as the original.
