Ruffian Games' open-world superhero actioner, Crackdown 2, is available to try as a demo today, from the Xbox Live Marketplace and offers not only glimpses of forthcoming gameplay, but goes one step further by offering Achievements in the demo which will be counted in the retail release of the game, as well as a look at the four-player co-op.

You can also play "Chuck's Ducks 2", an interactive Facebook game linked to Xbox Live and Crackdown 2 with its own rewards.

Crackdown 2 is due to land in Australia, July 9.

Downloaded it this morning. Played. had lots of fun. Too bad the demo only runs for 30 minutes. Could easily play for hours.

Off to preorder it now.

is it like the first one where you can play for 30 mins and then it kicks you out and you have to start again? or is it 30 mins and that's it...ever?

30 minute sessions. You can play for as many times as you like but you have to restart each time.

A couple of good things:

Some guns/cars/explosives unlock as you go up in level. You still get other stuff by storing it at bases though.

Renegade orbs are fun. They run away from you making you chase them. But generally go past other orbs you can collect.

You can get achievements for the demo that unlock when you play the full game.

EDIT: Preordered at 365games.co.uk paying a grand total of ... $59AU (approx)

Ok i just gave the demo a crack for 30 minutes not having an idea what to expect. Just kept shooting randoms in the f***, blowing s*** up and running over zombies in a cop car but i had no idea wtf i was mean't to be doing. Graphics were cell shaded and looked very average and the controls were awkward.

I guess it can be fun with coop but i don't see what the big deal is? maybe it gets better when you level up and earn more weapons? unless i'm missing something else here...

Its essentially Gta on steroids. I loved the original although I think that it lacks replayability.

The environments don't looks anywhere near as detailed or as interactive as GTA, which is a good couple of years old now.

I also played it and thought, wtf is this? It was pretty average graphics and controls where meh, I seemed to get shot a lot and it didn't matter.

I thought it was a very average game at best, so I must be doing it wrong?

I bought the original just for the halo 3 mp beta and it turned out to one of my favourite xbox games.

Sucks I have no quota to dl the demo but its a must buy for me anyway.
