It seems that gamers were confused and thought that the original Crackdown was in the case, when in fact it was the new version of the game. The reason for the confusion is because both games look very similar – so do not fear you do have the Crackdown 2 in the case after-all.

We have to wonder why Microsoft did not know this and decided to issue a recall, Surly they would have known in advance what the disc of the game looked like? Retailers were also confused, and feared that customers would be retuning the new game in the masses – just imagine how relieved they are?

Are you confused? Well this was all just a joke by Sarcastic Gamer, as it is no secret that fans of the game are upset that not much has changed with the new version of the game. We hope we did not worry you too much, we just thought this article was funny?

When the original Crackdown video game was released on the Xbox 360 back in 2007 it received some very respectable reviews, therefore there are pretty high hopes for its successor.

Out of all of the reviews it seems as if GamesRadar sum things up, they score the game 7 out of 10 and say that Crackdown 2 is better than its predecessor, however is not as good as Just Cause 2, they also say “What was good is still good, but rarely better”, you can see their full review here.

CVG scored the game 8.3 out of 10, they say that the game is a slight disappointment, however still very welcoming, that said there seems to be a bit of a bug with the targeting system, which once patched will make large battles less frustrating. You can see their detailed review here.

Destructoid seemed very unhappy with the game, they scored it just 4.5 out of 10 and say that the game is very repetitive, in fact they even go on to say you may as well play the demo over and over again, you can see their full review here.

The single-player mode will start with a recap of the events from the previous game; this feature should keep critics happy – as they were unhappy with how the first game did not offer a narrative aspect. Crackdown 2 also offers more of a story this time, so should even keep the user happy.

Ruffian Games is the new developer for the game and hopes that they have been able to stay as faithful to the game as possible – straying away too much would be a huge mistake.

Read a full review of Crackdown 2 on the Joystiq website, where they do fear that the new game is much of the same as its predecessor – apart from some key improvements.
