I was highly impressed by the demo only playing the first one just the other day for like 30 minutes, then going, man, I enjoy Saints Row 2 and Red Dead Redemption alot more than this, then I played the Demo for CD2 and was like, oooo, now this has what I like. I also love the fact that they let you gain achievements in the demo, that will be unlocked once you start up the full game. Nothing is more fun than throwing the Dead Body of a Mutant.
I've been waiting for ages for crack down 2 and the demo has just made me want it moar.
It's also cool that I'll unlock 70g as soon as I get the full game. (thus far)

At first I wasnt impressed but the more I played it the more I liked it. However they could have done a better job with some of the guns and explosions. I mean when I was firing the machine gun it felt like a pea shooter, very weak. Same with explosions, just so weak.
Fun game though

I liked Crackdown so I liked the demo of 2 as well. I wish they would have added more though. As far as I can tell, mutants, orbs that run away, and helicopters are the only big additions.
I need to play it some more. My first run with it the other night, things felt a little loose. I don't know what it was...just felt like the controls were a little off or something. I did enjoy running around like a super-human madman, though.
By the way, anyone else aware of the glitch that lets you play past the 30 minute time limit? It's actually not that hard to pull off...there's a (misspelled) video that shows how to do it:

As soon as I figure out how to switch who im targeting without it feeling random it'll be much better for me.
Although I did love the parts where I wasn't frustrated with the shooting.
I was also frustrated that I couldn't already jump 20 miles into the sky but thats because the last time I played Crackdown I could jump more than 2 feet into the air.

Loved the demo my only big complaint was the instructions flashed to fast across my screen to see how to switch targets in auto lock properly. Though lets be honest I prefer the punch them in the face, grab their dead body, and beat ppl to death with it route to guns anyway. Driving still feels like a mostly useless skill and agility is as before the most important skill which doesn't bother me at all.
Didn't give me the same satisfaction as I played the first one. Maybe it's because crackdown was one of my first experiences with my xbox 360 but It really didn't feel like there was anything new, aside from the zombies which feel out of place.
i don't know what the hell you morons are smoking, this game looks awful compared to the original.
the first Crackdown looked far cleaner and sharper than this mess. i haven't seen this many low-res textures since the first launch titles back in '05. nor do i remember the auto-lock on being so hit-or-miss. it's pretty obvious this sequel wasn't made by the original developers.

My buds and I played the demo yesterday using the time limit glitch. We played for about 3 hours and I really got a feel for the game. I like it a lot...more so than I though I would. I will be buying this game as soon as its released.
Yeah this game does look awful. I dunno what everyone is talking about. It's SO unpolished; I've seen other games in the same genre come out barely more polished than this and they get shit for it... I dunno.
Although personally, i'm not buying it because of "AGENT, DON'T SHOOT CIVILIANS! OK AGENT! YOU ASKED FOR IT! WE DONT WANT TO DO IT. IT'S GONNA HURT YOU MORE THAN IT"S GONNA HURT US"
Seriously? like EVERYONE IN THE WORLD didn't hate that from the first game.
This game is crap because all they did was take the exact same game, flip some models around and throw in "zombies" (because hey, the kids LOVE zombies these days, right?) and call it a day. Waste of 60 bux if you ask me.

I am buying this game, but disappointed that nothing was really improved. Evolutionary and nothing revolutionary or impressive about this game at this point. I still enjoyed being the super cop.
I was underwhelmed at first, but this is one of those games that grows on you. Enjoyed it more the more I played (and the less I worried about actually completing objectives).
That said, as far as "open-world craziness" games go, I still had a bit more fun with the Just Cause 2 demo.

60 'bux' I could get back, the time readin your post is gone forever :-(
I loved the first one, was a nice freebie with the Halo 3 beta and yes, everyone loves killing zombies.

Way to pay attention.
They are genetically modifies freaks, this should be apparent if you've played the first game, watched any of the Web Comics or stopped for more than 3 seconds and listened to the agency VoiceOver man.
Twas a nice attempt to look cool by flaming something popular tho, I'm sure your Internet budies think you're very hip.

I wasn't really a huge fan of this demo. Every gun feels the same too and that aim assist kind of makes the combat boring anyway (when it actually aimed for the right thing). Seemed pretty repetitive but maybe that's just me.
I wouldn't say it feels exactly like it's predecessor...similar, maybe, but EVERYTHING feels tightened up. The shooting feels much more satisfying, as does the beefier melee modes, and the impact when your car hits a random pedistrian is much more satisfying...as it is in this game, too.
are you sure you didn't just play the first crackdown again by mistake Jimmy?

I felt the same way. It exactly the same as Crackdown 1, the only real difference wat the city skin swap and orbs been rearranged. It felt great to return to Pacific City and have some fun, personally. Night seemed to pass a bit too fast and I would like a way to quickly change targeted persons instead of just body parts. Im defiantly getting this day one, I was skeptical at first since I never played anything by Ruffian but the "aint broke, dont fix it" seemed to be a wise decision.

I'm really hoping you are just joking and I'm missing the sarcasm in your post. Call them what you will, they are fucking zombies plain and simple. And seriously you watched a web comic for a game that has a thin and crappy plot?

Also, fuck those bitching about the graphics.
It looks fine, it looks better than the original (only slightly), and the art and draw distance are still killer:

@evil haole
they are more like 1-2 minute long cartoon/vid thingys going over some back story leading up to crackdown 2. the latest one is actually quite witty with an excellent performance from voice over man.
i would suggest you watch them but you seem to have have pre-emptively decided its not for you with no knowledge of what they are.
also, perhaps your sarcasm detector needs a dust off

I dunno...I didn't like it and neither did my wife when she played it. It might have been too long since we both played, but we didn't like it.
I though it was pretty good, although I wouldn't pay full price for this. I'll wait until it hits the bargain bin.
At first I wasn't really feelin it but as I got further into it, it got better. then all of a sudden time ran out and i wanted more. Never played the first one though.
Okay, seriously guys, use the little trick posted above, I'll repost it.

I played this for an hour and a half, before I had to go back to work, I was maxed agility, strength, and guns, I was Harpooning Cells to Skyscrapers, and kicking mutants into Orbit. Not to mention running full sprint with a BUS and killing like 30 people at one time. PURE AMAZING. It was like actually playing the full game.

I really liked the first one and was about to pre-order the second one...until I played the demo. I don't know why, but I am really not feeling this game. Such a shame. I might pick it up when it goes cheap.
Didn't even realize it was out. Rather enjoyed the first one, but the lack of drop-in drop-out co-op pretty much sealed the fate of the online community before it ever began. Hope the new one fixes that.
I'm with the disappointed... just figure this won't offer anything particularly new, yet ask me to build up my character in exatly the same way I did last time.
I also think the grimier look isn't as nice as the first.
Plus, mutated freaks or zombies... amounts to the same thing: same skins, same behaviour. Why aer so many devs insistent on using such lazy AI for cheap scare tactics?

I really, really don't understand how anyone who claimed to like the first crackdown would dislike this.
It's the same mechanics, tightened up ALOT. less tedious leveling up. More types of orbs and challenge. an actual story. ZOMBIES for god's sake. it's got everything a real gamer and a real man could ever want!

Meh, I was not impressed. It actually seemed to handle WORSE than the first one, especially the targeting system.
