Crackdown 2

Premium Link Upgrade
current meta score of 71. i haven't played it, myself, so i don't know if its good or bad or anything in between ...but there's around 17 reviews that are 80% or higher. that's not too bad, i guess.
it might not be a 'triple A' title ...but it looks like its probably decent enough.
if i ever buy it, i'll wait to do so when its cheaper. its currently $69 new, and i'm not going near it for that price.
just out of curiosity, tho ...what happened when sony dropped the ball on ps3 exclusives like :
Haze
meta score of 55
Premium Link Upgrade
Lair
meta score of 53
Premium Link Upgrade
SOCOM Confrontation
meta score of 63
Premium Link Upgrade confrontation
White Knight Chronicles
meta score of 64
Premium Link Upgrade knight chronicles
that's just a few ps3 exclusives that weren't that well received. there's a few more that didn't do too well either.
i wonder what sony's excuse was there, tho?
ya win some, ya lose some, i guess.
The sites and mags that gave crackdown 2 a good score are the rinky dink ones that no one knows and are paid to up the score. The sites and mags that matter,IGN,gamespot,Gameinformer etc all scored it very low....
The first game kinda had a cult following....I personally **** cell shaded games. Im hearing that the sequel's graphics are actually worse then the first one and there's frame rate troubles all over the place.
Unexceptable tech issues for an exclusive. I don't care what system its on...
What the first game had was a bunch of Halo fans getting the game solely to participate in the Halo 3 Beta. Sales of the game after the Beta ended dropped nearly 90%, and they weren't that impressive to begin with. The people who really enjoyed the game were very much in the minority, and the first suffered from a ton of frame rate issues, graphical glitches, and inexplicable freezes. IGN even said in their review of the game that it would be tough for the game to sell in the first place without the inclusion of the Halo 3 Beta.
I forgot about the inclusion of the Halo beta.....Thats all I had was a 360 at the time of crackdown 1's launch but paid no attention to the game. The only cell shaded game I ever liked was Borderlands...
Sales-wise, most gamers would agree with you, as Borderlands outsold Crackdown in about a month and a half.
If your looking at it to be a blockbuster then you'll be dissapointed, but if your looking at it as an excuse to hookup with 3 other friends for 4 player co-op that involves massive explosions, insane freak (zombies basically) *******, moments of hilarity (passing cars back and forth in a game of pseudo-tennis over a wall with uv shotguns), and is just a blast to play with all the odd discoveries, then you'll like the game.
Yes, there are graphical glitches, what game nowadays gets released without them? But fuck it's a fun game anyways...
