I really want these two bits to come out already, I had quite a bit of fun with Crackdown 2 and I want to start playing it again.

Sounds like fun. And like a motivation for me to finally get my Agent's driving up to Level 6.

I got the demo for this the other day and I quit enjoyed it.
I might buy it when it's budget.

Why couldn't something like this have come out for GTA IV? I'd pay twice that price for an addon that includes the kinda cheat inventory that San Andreas had.

Tried the game for about as long as I could handle it and promptly sold that sucker. I swear, a person can only yell "Fingers, motherf*cker, use them!" as they fall like a brick while trying to climb up a needlessly tall building with specifically placed hand holds, and don't get me started on that gliding suit. ~_~

Not entirely sure, but I believe there may be some avatar awards for simply buying the DLC. I think I saw them when I had the game. Someone else who still owns it can confirm.

I dunno, for the price and what you get, achieves included, it's not all that bad. Unfortunately, it's for Crackdown 2, so yeah...

Fun game. I really enjoyed it. However, this should be free considering they sold a "copy & paste" game for $60. Just sayin'.

Both packs have an avatar helmet for buying the DLC, and a suit to match for completing it, basically.

Played through it once, maxed out almost all my levels, did a bunch of activities, but that was enough for me. It's going to take more than a couple new weapons and cheat codes to renew my interest.

2 was alright. The first was so much better. And I'm sure Keys to the City was already on the disc.
I'll probably buy the premium version only to add it to Limbo on my reasons to get some Points.

Well, there ya go, Bonta-kun confirmed. Not too shabby, and it's nice to see DLC "release" of avatar awards, even though technically they were already on there just not accessible. Major bummer when you pop in a great game that doesn't have any and you're left with the only option of buying your stuff from the market place. Curious if the avatar/DLC thing will catch on as an incentive to purchase future add-ons.

Won't pay full price for a game that's a 100% rehash mixed with items/concepts from other sandbox games. It's a shame that this wasn't a better, bigger, more expansive title. It really could have been something special.

Gee, when did the "Pay to cheat" DLC system become so popular? Sad times we live in when we're actually paying for this, instead of just entering in some up up down down code to unlock all of it...

They should pay me to download anything for this POS game. Yea it was fun for 20 minutes then you realize that they should have just remade crackdown 1 with 4 players instead. I've never been so pissed off at a game that I thought would be worth the money before.

how was the first game much fucking better?

I swear I dont understand idiots who say this...it was the first game, but BETTER. the story was better (if you actually bothered getting all the audio logs and pieced it together yourself), more enemy variety, more goal variety, better graphics, better weapons...

I swear to god some people just say ''first was better'' on ANY sequel, just for the sake of it. Cause NO, you are WRONG, the first was not better because this is the same game just with more improvements.

Game was barely an upgrade to the original that came out 3 years ago pathetic for you Microsoft.
Look at yourself Microsoft all the money you have and you can't make a worthwhile Crackdown sequel and couldn't use your resource to fix the god awful animations in Alan Wake.
