Comic Jumper looks like just the right amount of crazy.

Actually it looks like it has nothing going on for it besides the art styles, if there's nothing more to the gameplay it might get old very quickly.

Totally agree. The writing seems incredibly weak (apart from Brad), and the gameplay looks extremely boring.

Agreed. The writing was downright horrible (the mocking of the CCA was funny...once) and the gameplay seemed incredibly repetitive. It's a shame, since the actual concept behind the game is brilliant, but the game itself seems really bad.
 
Giantbomb Quicklooks are the closest thing I can think of to having a 1up show.

I wish they'd combine a whole bunch of them and let me download.

They were playing it like Qix. But in Cubixx, if you keep the line going across cube faces you get a multiplier. I got a chuckle out of them looking for online leaderboards in a mini title though :lol

I can't believe people find that trio funny :S I've barely laughed at all in their videos :( I suppose the games they tend to show don't help either :P

The train sim video? :) Nope, derailing trains wasn't that super awesome either. I mean, it sounds like these videos are the best thing since sliced bread, and... that's just not true imho :S

The Wings of Prey QL was pretty hilarious. The 3 make a good combo but they're not the best, that would be Ryan + Vinny.

How could you not laugh at the Flight Sim Quick Look? It had maybe the funniest QL moment ever.

Quick Look: Crackdown 2 Demo
Click to expand...

meh , based on this QL , this is the definition of expansion pack sequels , it's just more of the same old with few new ideas , sequels need to evolve the "gameplay" , not just cash in with few extra things , and from ths QL look like it's Shooting focus instead of anything else this time brain dead-ish style like Prototype but this depend on the player tho , land ook like it's slower too for some reasons but I guess this is because it's just video ( and I know it's a demo ) .

and graphically this look worse than the 2007 game too , and has same animations (pretty lame really ) they even didn't fixed the floaty like running animations , for fuck sake Ruffian what the hell are you doing , it's the same engine as the first , so you have time to creat new animations you don't need to use all the old assets as the early 2007 game *smh*.

I am not going to buy this at full price , same with other expansion pack-like sequels ( New Vegas, Killzone 3..ect ) , devs should put more effort into their sequels , fix the flaws and add new ideas imo , and not like this imo.

Ruffian is a brand new studio that was given only an eight-month developmental cycle by MS, so it's understandable why they couldn't implement as many changes in Crackdown 2 compared to the original. Crackdown is one of my favorite games this gen, so it's disappointing that MS didn't allow the studio to have more time instead of just rushing it out to market.

I could not disagree with you more if you had claimed the Earth was square. I think, going off of what I've played of the demo, CD2 hits exactly the right notes to really endear itself to people who loved the first.

Edit: Maybe it's just me and my friends, but we were sold after our first playthrough of the demo.
 
I am so glad that Giant Bomb has two guys which share my huge love for Mortal Kombat. Made the Laser Blast Endurance Run doable.
 
so is game room ever going to be less shitty? When they mentioned that MS ignoring it at E3, it made me think about their whole 1 vs 100 and primetime channel stuff that also seems to have been allowed to die.

It may be the stream quality or it may be the 100+ hours of Just Cause 2 on the PC making me expect more from open world visuals, but to me this game looks dated and bland.

It´s a very crisp and flat game. Kind of a comic strip look, which I like. JC2 looks awesome indeed, but you can not compare the crackdown style to it :)

Too bad they missed to unlock the first drop zone in the demo. But what can you say, ORB hunting is addictive.

To be fair, graphics aren't the franchise's strongpoint. The original excelled at mayhem, pacing and platforming. It was refreshing to have a sandbox experience that wasn't weighed down by boring fluff and delivery missions. The world was packed full of fun things to do. It felt more like a playground than a sandbox.
 
holy shit @ gameroom :lol

why even make it if you are just going to abandon it immediately. i mean i'm sure its doing badly but thats their own fault for putting such crap on it

Crackdown was an early 2007 title , it was actually damn pretty back then ,but not anymore , and Sandbox standards evolved since then ( also other games did the "playground" concept it's not exclusive for this game ) and this use the same engine so they have years to upgrade the graphics ( and animations ) but they didn't do that , seriously there is no excuse for staying on the low standard from early of this generation , there is no excuse for lazy devs , what a shame.

8 month development cycle. This game was stuck in "to sequel, or not to sequel" hell for 2+ years because of Microsoft. Don't put the blame on Ruffian.

And the game is an absolute great time in 2-4 player co-op, the only way Crackdown should be played BTW.

you call this upgrade ? really ? and Crackdown 1 ( 2007 title ) look better here (sharper/not blurry , better texture ) than mid 2010 sequel , thanks for supporting my point I guess.

and it's not just the graphics , aside from the power ups , the devs did nothing for this sequel they lifted the animations ans other assets from the first game without changes , but well keep fighting for lazy sequels , all power to you , my standards in sequels are just higher than this.

I must be blind, too. Crackdown 2 does not look good in those shots.

I still want it (ORBS!) but I don’t consider it a graphical powerhouse by any means
