Crackdown 2 dated for July News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Agent Tall Summer-Breeze.

Microsoft has announced a 9th July 2010 release date for Crackdown 2.

Xbox community manager Graeme Boyd revealed the date on Twitter moments ago.

"Listen up Agents! We've just announced the Crackdown 2 release date as July 9, 2010. Prepare yourself," Tweeted Boyd, aka AceyBongos

His next Tweet pointed to a new Crackdown 2 developer diary, titled "Fun With Friends".

Crackdown 2 introduces super-powered enemies and four-player co-op to the crime-busting Xbox 360 series that not so much turned heads as span them around like basketballs in early 2007.

The last we saw of the sequel and wrote about was in November 2009.

That's a very good point. Certainly not early July.

Only Nintendo it would seem - Wii Sports Resort and Pokemon have appeared in Julys of the couple of years but nothing from Sony or MS

You mean I can kick 3 of my friends off the agency tower instead of just the one?

My word Ruffian. You are spoiling us!

Is this a Microsoft-published game? Maybe it's to keep it from going up against Reach later in the year.

It is to keep it off Alan Wake in May and Reach in September.

Personal Shopping list:
Mars: Metro 2033
April:Splinter Cell and SSFIV
May: LP2 and Alan Wake
July: Crackdown 2
August: Dead Rising 2
September: Halo reach

July 9th!! I can't wait that long. The Just Cause 2 demo did nothing for me, I need my silly sandbox action NOW!

Hopefully there'll be a demo.

@Douche

Im guessing an 8/10. The atmosphere is amazing but the shooting isnt. And the 360 version is actually better than the PC version according to Gamereactor. They tried different PCs with different settings but it was never as smooth as the 360 version.

edit: Darren take note.
