Before anyone asks, a kookaburra is a bird found in australia.
It's call sounds like maniacal laughter.
Now imagine a bird laughing like a maniac on helium... and fucking your mum...

As a WoW subscriber, I must say that there's nothing to fear about direct sunlight. It just needs to be handled in the same way as direct interactions with people and any sort of interaction with customer service: in small doses while covered in lotion to prevent skin damage.
I laughed. I didn't think Crackdown 2 looked very good in the first place. This is one of the times when I agree with what Yahtzee says, and that's surprisingly common.
I liked the part when he was making fun of all the names.

There's something about how I laughed at the thought of someone being mauled by their daughter's dead body that makes me want to get a shrink.
yeah, i loved the first crackdown. i was so disappointed as i started to realize it was teh same city, no pyramid of bosses to take down, and just basically a much more simple sequel. yeah, it let me down. i want to play the first one again, but every used copy i buy freezes on the title screen.... whats up with that shit?
Nice review overall. You pretty summed up all the issues I have with the game.
And for that question in the credits, I never actually tried reversing two ramp trucks together. I was too busy having fun with the ramp truck going backwards on the highways and watching the cars shoot up in the air.

Because the episode is five minutes long, therefore anyone posting before 17:05 has blatantly just not watched the vid and is trying to get the first post for bizarre reasons of their own I have yet to understand.QuiB25 said:
OT: I really enjoyed the first game, but it sounds like Crackdown 2 is just an expansion to Crackdown rather than a proper sequel. Well, I guess that means I'll be renting it at best then. C'mon devs, try harder next time!
I'm surprised the review didn't compare it to Infamous and Prototype.. both games that should have but didn't inspire gameplay elements in Crackdown 2, as they do the "tool around with super powers" thing better then Crackdown did, and it's all crackdown ever had really.
Ah, the game which had so many issues that the developers seemed only to ignore them, copy / paste them into the new version and then add more issues, if I am correct in my conclusion here 
Yahtzee, was someone trying to call you, whilst you were recording this genius? Poor form, not sticking around to re-record it and get it all mastered exactly right. I'm now going through scenarios of who could have been calling while you were recording.
1) Family. Probably not, as you're more likely to talk to them on Skype, what with the costs to mobile phones, calling one internationally would just be dense... unless you can get Skype on an iPhone / Blackberry / corporate sell out communication device.
2) Rebecca Mayes. See above reasoning for no, but the probability is increased. A bit.
3) Our friends on the sub-continent of India / Pakistan, calling about some sort of limited deal on broadband, mobile phones or debt consolidation, none of which any of us need or want from them.
4) Pizza delivery - "Yeah, I can't find your house, man..."
Stop me if I guess it...

I've noticed that with a lot of sequels lately, namely that they seem to be only about half the game the original was in regards to content. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a sequel supposed to add to the property, not subtract from it?
