Crackdown #2, Skills for kills agent, skills for kills.

[tw1164]

Microsoft has announced the date for your return trip to Pacific City ... when you'll tear it to shreds in the name of justice! Crackdown 2 will launch in North America on July 6, with Asia, Australia and New Zealand releases following on July 8, and Europe's on July 9 -- narrowly missing the "first half of 2010" release estimate.

Producer James Cope previously said that a demo will be forthcoming before the release of the game, so we'll be playing some small portion of Crackdown 2 sooner than July 6. We're going to start playing even sooner than that, actually -- our dreams are littered with orbs.


I loved the first one, I'm grabbing this game day one.

I'll definitely be renting this early. The first one was awesome!

Crackdown was easily one of the most underrated/appreciated games of this generation. Easily one of the best $10 purchases you can make if you don't own it already. I'm stoked for this one.

Day one purchase for me. Loved the first one.

This is pretty much the best announcement of the year. I'm SO excited for this game! I actually went through the first one once more 2 weeks ago--still one of the best games this generation.

I'll play the demo but I'm going to wait for this to get down to $30 or less before I buy. The first one was fun but not worth even close to $60.

Awesome trailer, I do wish I had a 360 and 3 friends because that co-op sounds absolutely awesome.

It looks like to be basically identical to the first... I had a lot of fun with the first for about three days, but it didn't have a ton of replay value.

After a while you get tired of jumping from rooftop to rooftop, and once you have a homing rocket launcher and a light MG it became incredibly easy even on the hardest difficulty. I think rebalancing the weapons would go a loooong way toward making 3+ playthroughs more appealing.
