Crackdown 2
The first Crackdown was a pleasant surprise, considering it was mostly overshadowed by the Halo 3 multiplayer beta that came packaged with the Xbox 360 title. It gave players an open city with a list of targets to take out in any order, characters and vehicles that change according to certain power levels, and 800 orbs scattered high and low to collect and hear that satisfying ding sound.
Crackdown 2 is not a bad game, but it is more of the same. The city and story are recycled with a few new enemies and weapons sprinkled in. The manic action and huge explosions are still there, which make it a good game to pick up for a few bucks when it goes on sale. Despite the first game being backwards compatible, the sequel might come alongside the release of Crackdown 3 scheduled for February 2019.
