It has clocked it with disappointing aggregate scores around the 60-ish range. 15 for Xbox One (and is available on the Xbox Game Pass service). Neither the Xbox Marketplace listing nor the Backward Compatibility program page make any mention of it.Ĭrackdown 3 launched Feb. So most folks already had it.Ĭrackdown 2 does not appear to have the Xbox One graphics enhancements that accompanied Crackdown’s re-release in February. Microsoft gave away the original Crackdown in early February, but that was one of the first games offered on Games With Gold, coming in August 2013, the service’s second month. The download is only 3.39 GB.Ĭrackdown 2 wasn’t poorly reviewed, but it failed to capture or extend the buzz that followed its predecessor, a breakout hit when it launched in 2007. Remarkably, the Xbox 360 exclusive has not yet been offered on the Games With Gold service, so this really is a new free game.
So run go get it.Ĭrackdown 2 launched in 2010. Myself included.Microsoft added Crackdown 2 to the Xbox One’s backward compatibility portfolio at the end of the day yesterday and, more importantly, made it free for everyone. It was a case of “more of the same”, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but after the excellent first outing people were left slightly underwhelmed. It’s this that brings me to the main issue critics had with Crackdown 2, which was the lack of progress from the first game. It was good fun, but not as impressive the second time round as other games had caught up. Still, Crackdown 2 featured online co-op for up to four players, as well as competitive modes such as “Deathmatch”, and “Capture the Orb”. When the original game released in 2007, there wasn’t an experience on console quite like it, online co-op at that time being more typical of PC games.
I remember the open world online co-op play being a real feature for the first Crackdown, and it returned in the sequel. In terms of melee, once you develop your abilities all sorts of moves will unlock, such as the “ground slam”. You can use all sorts of weapons, from machine guns to grenade launchers, as well as a special UV gun for taking down the pesky “freaks”.
In terms of combat, you have melee and ranged options, the latter being the most entertaining.
