Dit jaar zal Cracdown 2 exclusief voor de Xbox 360 verschijnen, en in dit vervolg mag je tien jaar na het eerste deel Pacific City weer vrij van criminelen en gemuteerd tuig maken. De website Worthplaying had een developers interview met John Noonan, de lead developer in Test voor Microsoft Game Studios. Hij verteld ons o.a. over de nieuwe abilities en veel meer.

WP: What about character abilities? What, if any, new abilities do you have in Crackdown 2 that we didn't see in the first game?

JN: We definitely have some new abilities. One thing that we're showing at X10 is the wing suit, which is really an ability for you to glide around and dive and pull back up and swoop through the air. A lot of our new stuff is in terms of the toys that we give you. We haven't been showing a lot at the X10 event today, but what we've shown before are magnetic grenades, where you can stick objects together and drag stuff behind you and basically build your own contraptions. We also have completely redone the melee system. In the first game, you could kind of do a roundhouse kick. Now there are combos, and you can pick up any object in the environment and use it as a weapon rather than just being able to throw it. We feel that the hand-to-hand combat is completely better. It's really awesome.
