"I have not seen this advertised anywhere but the Crackdown 2 DLC is on sale now at 50% off. Both DLC packs including the ‘Toy Box’ and ‘The Deluge’ are 240 Microsoft Points instead of 560 Points."

It’s possibly the longest standing and harshest criticism levelled against Microsoft’s console family, and I can’t say I wholly disagree. However, there are some out there which can slip through the net every now and then. But bucking the trend was the original Crackdown, which was not one of them. It shifted a very healthy amount of units as well as drawing in universal praise from critics. A sequel then, would be a no-brainer."
It was basically crackdown 1 with zombies, was fun but corners were cut, solid game though.
Collecting those orbs and upgrading your character were addictive, it was just a shame they played it safe instead of going all out, didnt take anything away from how fun the game is though.
Crackdown 1 was one of the underrated gems of last gen. I loved that game. Crackdown 2 was crackdown 1 with added zombies and gave the map a paint job. Disappointing, but still enjoyed it for what it was with the added wingsuit, toybox mode and 4 player co-op. Crackdown 3 was basically what Crackdown 2 should have been.
While it is unclear at this time whether its a glitch or intentional. Crackdown, and Crackdown 2 are now free for download on the Xbox store.
Free is free. They could have done nothing and no one would have said anything.
So what’s the problem again?
Sometimes it's better to do nothing, like in this case.
Or are they buttering people up for an xsx version of Crackdown 3? Re-Cracked perhaps?
So let me get this straight, you think they are wrong for giving out free games to gamers?Do they force you to download the game? Are the free games expired after a set amount of time? Do they force people to buy an SX version of the game if it comes out?
You know I have seen many stupid comments over the year on this site, and yours is nearly on the top of that list, no offense.
No they're not wrong - have at it. Just not a very worthwhile gesture. The games are old, average at best going by people's comments.
Have a crack mate, don't hold back - you couldn't upset or offend me if you tried.
And if you didn't pick up, the second part of my comment was in jest. But you lit are very defensive about ms and their pro-consumer attitude these days.
Lighten up champ - gonna be a long gen ahead haha
Yeah this, grabbed it like two years ago. Wish there was a way to play the X-enhanced version on PC
Crackdown 1 was fun 13 years ago. Somewhat still fun today
Crackdown 2 sucks.
Crackdown 3 is like Crackdown 1, but with better graphics.
Play Crackdown 3. It’s a fun weekend game.
Crackdown 3 shouldv never existed. Of all the games microsoft couldve poured money into making they chose this.
Simply as a marketing game to show off their 'cloud' tech. Sure wasnt made for xbox fans but they tried to shove it down our throats for 5 years regardless.
No thanks.
@DARK_WOLF:
CD3 exists as an attempt to showcase a version of cloud supported gaming. That said version fell apart is besides the point.
I wish they would have just done a Crackdown 1 remake with extras instead of Crackdown 3. All those years wasted on a game that for me felt like anything but crack down.
Crackdown 1 and 2 were both given for free to Xbox One users to celebrate their launch on the Xbox Live Store and backward compatibility support for the Xbox One. In addition to giving the games for free, Microsoft is now also giving the DLC for Crackdown 2.
I'm pretty sure even Microsoft isn't pleased with Crackdown 3 either, as they went silent on it.

I (TheGrimBunny)didn't see this anywhere else, I think it's one of those deals they don't want you to know about, cause it's for today only i think.
awesome man thanks for heads up
def goin to get this
The name of the game is wrong. It should be Crackdown 1.3
Lol sorry, this game is not good at all.
They should give whoever bought this shitty, shitty game the DLC for free.
