Rumor: Ruffian contracted by major publisher for multiplatform game

Okay, now that time has passed, is Crackdown 2 that bad? I mean, I can pick it up for $10 to see, but if it is really that bad I'd rather not and keep my fond memories of the first one.

Eh, I dunno if I want to play another Ruffian game after they raped Crackdown.....

As much crap Crackdown 2 got, I still enjoyed the game and it did improve on a lot of stuff and made the game just as much, if not more, fun than the original. I guess they won't be working on Crackdown 3 then? I was hoping that with some more time and resources, a third Crackdown could be a significant improvement over the first two.

Crackdown 2 was that bad ... it wasn't even as well made as the first game, which is why it deserves all the criticism it received. I can think of one positive ... they added co-op.

But here are the negatives - they used the exact same map and assets as the first game, but with less detail and made them "worn and destroyed" to make people feel like they were playing a new game. They removed many of the extras in Crackdown ... like the boss fights, which were some of the most fun parts of the first game.

Basically, Ruffian nearly ensured that Crackdown will not get a third game. It deserves a third game but Crackdown was tarnished by Ruffian's poor and rushed job on the 2nd game.

Crackdown 2 felt like an expansion. I mean, the coolest thing they did to that game was add in the flying and the jet boots. I really wish that they had kept the car transformations though. Basically $10 is how much crackdown 2 is worth. The story is dumb, the freaks are dumb, but going around destroying stuff is fun. Don't look for an engaging story in this game because you wont find it

So it's either Acitvision, Ubisoft, EA.

crackdown 2 maybe sucked i really have no idea. i was too busy obsessively collecting orbs FOREVER. so maybe it rules? Orbs orbs orbs orbs orbs orbs orbs.

hopefully they do a better job then they did on Crackdown 2 I mean it wasnt horrible it just didnt really improve on a god damn thing actually it took shit away like the morphing cars
