Crackdown 2
Crackdown 2 is a sandbox-style third-person shooter video game developed by Ruffian Games and published by Microsoft Game Studios, due for release on Xbox 360 in July 2010.It is a direct sequel to the 2007 video game Crackdown.

More Information
The game is modeled similarly to its predecessor Crackdown, a third-person shooter in open world gameplay. The player character is a super-human officer for the city-funded 'Agency', known simply as the 'Agent'. This time around, increased levels of customization for the character are allowed, unlike the presets offered before. Along with that, the orbs from last time are coming back, but the powers are expanded and enhanced, i.e, the Agility Skill allows the Agent to jump higher than in Crackdown, and provides a 'dash' maneuver, as well as opening up a special helicopter. Like Crackdown, the game will allow for on-line co-operative play in the main game, but will now support up to four players. The game will also feature competitive multiplayer modes for up to sixteen players.

Downloadable Content
On February 19, 2007 a free downloadable pack was made available for the game. The pack includes four new playable male agents, three of whom have unique, upgradable headgear.A free update was released on May 11, 2007 which allows the player to reset gangs, makes it easier to find orbs, improves stunt ring visibility, enhances targeting and camera angles when driving, and provides several other minor fixes. This update also includes a new ground strike attack.
Two packs of downloadable content were released on May 10, 2007. The 'Free-For-All' pack, which is available free, adds a mode called 'Keys to the City' to the main menu. It allows the player to impound any vehicle and store it at the Agency and allows the player to enter a 'Keys to the City' mode that allows them to alter the Agent's statistics or create several items, and other effects, but disables progress within the game. 'Gettin' Busy' bonus pack, available for 400 Microsoft Points (US$5), introduces new vehicles and weapons, new side missions, and street racing. As of September 6, 2007, the 'Gettin' Busy' pack has been purchased from Xbox Live around 200,000 times.
Unfortunately, the May 2007 title update and downloadable content were linked to a glitch which reset a number of players' saved games when they played the game's co-operative mode. The developers apologized for the glitch and offered a temporary workaround, however, saved games already lost to the glitch were not recoverable.On May 16, 2007, a further title update was released, resolving the issue, in addition to fixing issues with access to the Halo 3 beta.
