There are a lot of reviews out there that you can read that will give you all the gameplay specifics, but here is a short guide to help you decide if you should buy Crackdown 2:
Did you like Crackdown 1? If yes, you should love Crackdown 2. If no, will hate Crackdown 2.
Do you like an almost pure sandbox game, with little linear story ? If yes, you'll love Crackdown 2. If no, you will absolutely hate Crackdown 2.
Are you a fan of running around like a crazy person blowing stuff up in new and exciting ways, alone or with friends? If yes, you'll love Crackdown 2. If not, you will hate Crackdown 2.
Basically, Crackdown 2 is Crackdown on steroids. There is no epic Mass Effect story and character development (outside of leveling). It is pure carnage, explosions, guns, racing, and orb hunting. I will say that the demo didn't really do the game justice since you didn't get exposed to the bigger elements the game has to offer. If you like blowing stuff up and climbing around massive cities, definitely check out Crackdown 2.
Personal rating: 4 out of 5
Rating average folks, non-genre fans will probably give it: 6 or 7 out of 10

Yo, nice review. The first one was good as well, even though most people bought it for the Halo 3 Beta. But then again if it isn't broken don't fix it.
