whoop whoop

Also, it has 4-player co-op. Even more surprising, you can earn up to 100 gamer points Shocked

These achievements work a little bit like the Live Arcade trial achievements - they won't unlock unless you purchase (read: play) the full game, but hey, who isn't getting Crackdown 2?

WHOOP cheers

demo officially today and supports what bill stated earlier - nice!

Yeah, I was sceptical when I first heard about the achievements on another forum, but enough people have now played it to confirm (a load of early access codes were being given out from Friday onwards).

NO WAY - I WONDER IF OUR FRIEND EUROGAMER HAS A HANDS ON YET

by Billy Goodgun Mon Jun 21, 2010 3:02 am

Probably! But there seems little point - feedback is very favourable so far, so just wait until tonight, when you can get your hands on it yourself Smile

You can't argue with that for an afternoon's entertainment! Very Happy

Some truly amazing footage see through out.
Will give crackdown 2 a go later once I have recovered from work.

I HATE YOU OLLY - HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO DOWNLOAD - CAN YOU GO TO MY HOUSE AND DOWLOAD IT FOR ME PLEASE

by Billy Goodgun Tue Jun 22, 2010 3:32 am

I'm just gonna say it: I had one quick go of the demo last night, and I wasn't impressed. I'll try it again, but if my opinion doesn't change, I won't be buying it.

by BloodKnightKS Tue Jun 22, 2010 7:47 am

Me, Jim, Def and Hicky was playing it for ages last night tis awesomeness on sexy scantly clad women!

by Fatboy Geezer Tue Jun 22, 2010 10:17 am

YEAH - I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT - ONCE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT I HAD TO D, PLAYING BASEBALL WITH FREAKS IS WICKED Smile

by cryingscotsman Tue Jun 22, 2010 4:24 pm

I thought the demo was pish.

by Billy Goodgun Wed Jun 23, 2010 3:13 am

I largely agree, but why, Mr CSM?

My issues were:
the aiming (it's WORSE than the original)
It's EXACTLY the same gameplay
The graphics are a bit better, but not "three years later" better
The city is pretty much the same, too

Just a few minor tweaks could've helped elevate this to an essential purchase; as it is, it feels a bit lazy, and a bit of a cash-in.

Perhaps another go in co-op will help persuade me otherwise.

by BloodKnightKS Wed Jun 23, 2010 8:06 am

it is only a demo hopefully they will sort out any problems
