Brand New Crackdown 2 Video Documentary

Ruffian Games and Microsoft Game Studios have just released a new video documentary showcasing some new aspects of Crackdown 2.

As a huge proponent of the original, I'm really looking forward to seeing the new game and getting to play in a redesigned sandbox. The original also had one of the few examples of truly innovate DLC that I liked, whereas I generally frown upon unnecessary additives. Nothing beats either the Harpoon Gun or the "Keys to the City."

In regards to the video itself, I must say developers are stepping up the game, as it uses some great green screen effects for the background chaos.

Some notable quotes include "the highest point in the city is now ridiculously higher than it ever was before," and "in the first game we went massively upwards, and in the second we've added an extra dimension and we're going down" (seems to indicate there is an underground component to the sequel). There's also a shot of two helicopters using some kind of tractor beam to lift a truck through the city. The co-op looks stellar.
