Thought that could have been more critical. Not only does Crackdown 2 not appear to add anything that justifies it being a sequel rather than DLC, it actually takes away the structure and flimsy storyline of the first game.

"Good women in games tend to be better looking."
Come to think of this, this tends to be true. Evil femme fatales usually have something discomforting about them, like excessive makeup or provocative wear or an aggressive air. They're rarely the cute girl-next-door that you want to date.

They're made by two very different companies. Crackdown was made by realtime worlds who did the early GTA games and are currently pumping out APB.
Crackdown 2 is made by Ruffian games who are an offshoot of Realtime worlds but clearly missing the talent that the old folk brought along. This is the first game made by them afaik.

Legitimate complaints all.
But I still found mowing over hundreds of freaks in my Agency SUV to be uniquely satisfying. The people in games like Saint's Row run away from you if you try to do this. The freaks just get angry and surge, making the squishy mess all the more satisfying.
I do wish they had given us a new city to play in. And the loss of the bosses was a bad idea. I don't know why they did that.
But I still had fun playing it.

...did Yahtzee actually use the phrase "the Earth Mother's most exotic sex aid"?
Good show, old bean. Good show.

Is it just me or is the "More like letdown 2, amirite?" taken from ENN's Chad X, because if so... that's awesome.
Actually, Dick Smith here is selling Crackdown 1 for $10. I haven't gone for it though, as frankly without online, after you've completed the game there's nothing much left to do for those who aren't totally obsessed with finding all the orbs.
I wonder if that's the same over in Australia

Yahtzee hit every nail on the head with this review. When they make Crackdown 3 (which I assume Ruffian will do, having seen the ending), they had better set it in a new city, not bring back the Freaks, and bring back a variety of unique criminal gangs.
Strangely, the content of the new Crackdown still appeals to me. Particularly the multi-player, though I don't know how multi-player works in this game, and I have yet to even play the first Crackdown. I like multi-player games, only because it enhances my experience with the game itself. Though this is just how I feel about multi-player in games. In any event, great video ^~^!
I never got to play the first Crackdown. I did try to get a hold of a copy though. And now that there's a sequel i thought i had a lot of catching up to do. However judging by this video i should probably just stick to the first one...at least for the time being.
I ain't had time to read everything so I apologize if somebody else has mentioned this however - the map shown depicting the 'pacific' (assuming it is America (which it always is in gaming)) was the East coast of America i.e. Atlantic. It also looked suspiciously like the Atlantic north-east!
