    Alright, Agent...

    The fact is, I barely played this game.

    I only have done about an hour and a half of "gameplay."

    I played the demo given a week prior to the game's release, and got really excited because it was just like Crackdown. The voice-over work was the same, the feeling was the same, and the whole damn orb collection was the fucking same.

    I pre-ordered the game as soon as I played the demo, received the code for the 4 different colored suits you could wear(the only reason I pre-ordered it). And then I waited. 3 days later it arrived and I was so excited to play it after work. I got home, put it it, chose my suit color and just like in the 30 minute demo, I played Crackdown for realsies. And then I stopped.

    Everything was the same. Everything. I was pissed. Same damn driving, which was horrible, same damn targeting, which was THE WORST, and same damn mechanics; the same damn team worked 4 years on it and they didn't change a damn thing?!

    Anyway, I am disappoint. The story is so thin, a toothpick could be used to scrape it out of your mouth after even thinking about trying to eat this up. The controls suck. The driving sucks, the targeting is janky at best, and there are nothing but empty game calories from this.

    Ugh, now I'm mad just looking back at it... 2 out of 5.

            Here we go again!Welcome back to the streets of Pacific City. Alot has changed since you've been gone, but you still get that familiar feeling. 10 years have gone by and you are once again in the shoes of an Agent. You have been cloned by the Agency in order to fight the new threats that have risen. The Cell is a terrorist group that is slowly taking over Pacific City to battle the Agency, while the Freaks are leftovers from  Dr. Balthazar Czernenko's experiments from the first game. And...

      Welcome back Agent. Crackdown 2 follows in the footsteps of it's predecessor so well, that it's sometimes difficult to remember that you're playing a new game. That's not to say that Crackdown 2 isn't a good game, but if ever a game personified the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," statement, Crackdown 2 is it. With the crux of open world superpower games released since the original (see: Infamous, Prototype), Crackdown 2 had an opportunity to be a game changer. Alas, that ball, unlike the...
