New Crackdown Content Dropping On XBL Today

Posted by Zonk on from the super-jump-to-victory dept.

The Team Xbox site is carrying details on new downloadable content for Crackdown on the 360. Probably the most comprehensive downloadable content made available since the 360 launched, the new pack adds three vehicles, a number of gameplay modes, a 'cheats' mode, and ten more Achievements to the title. "For Crackdown, Realtime diligently follow the post-launch forum chatter and attempted to address all of the concerns with the base game, while at the same time adding new content to keep it all fresh. There are also some items that perhaps didn't make the final cut for Crackdown's original launch (time constraints will do that to a project of this magnitude) but have been prepared and thrown into the upcoming DLC code. However it actually came about, Crackdown's Title Update, 'Free-for-All' and 'getting' Busy' packs are a win-win for those allied to the Agency."

    so how many points is this gonna cost us? Major Nelson says 800. There's three updates: a free patch to the game with extra features, a free downloadable content pack and an 800 point downloadable content pack. Even if you don't get the pay-for update you can get some of the function by playing cooperatively with someone who has bought it.

    * Title Update (fixes annoyances, adds some minor new features) - FREE (as always)

    * Free For All Pack ("Keys To The City" mode, vehicle collection challenge, new co-op chellenges, new achivements) - FREE

    * Getting Busy Pack (new vehicles, weapons, game modes and achievements) - 800 points

    I have to say this is WAY more than I was expecting and I can't wait to download it all. One of the best games around for the 360 just got even better.

    Major Nelson has links to videos of the new content on his site. Believe me, they are worth watching. The new equipment and Keys to the City videos are incredible - they're really giving people a sandbox to just have fun!

    A lot of my friends have this game and no one plays it anymore because it's pretty quick to beat. And we aren't acheviement junkies....so goets old quickly

    Even if you were achievement whores, most of the Crackdown points are easily achieved. You should be able to get everything but the "beat it all in co-op" achievement within a week of finishing the game (or within two weeks of purchasing the game).

    For us achievement whores, new content with new achievements is impossible to pass up :)
