New Crackdown Content

McDaniel · 10 May 2007 at 10:36

The guys over at TeamXbox received an exclusive preview of the new downloadable content that will be available for Crackdown later this week. And overall we're impressed. Yup, the new Crackdown content dramatically changes up gameplay and will have you putting the game back in your weekly gaming rotation. But let's look at the specifics.

First off, there will be an auto update for the game which will address various game issues from louder orb notification sounds to a new gang reset option. They even made the fire hydrants less evil. Second up is a free piece of DLC called the Free-For-All Pack which will add exciting features like a new Keys to the City mode and an Impounding Vehicles option. Again, all for free. Thirdly is the Getting Busy Bonus Pack which will cost an unknown amount of Microsoft Points and will include new vehicles, weapons, and various other game modes. Stay with us now.

Finally, Realtime Worlds is adding a total of seven new achievements that spread across the free and paid content. Two achievements (totaling 140 Gamerscore) are attainable with the Free-For-All Pack while five other achievements (totaling 210 Gamerscore) are in the Getting Busy Bonus Pack. Also interesting to note is that the premium Getting Busy Bonus Pack can be played in co-op with a friend who doesn't have the content and, as such, a few achievements exclusive to the pack can be obtained by both players. Full writeup and videos after the jump.

will keep me occupied until forza 2 arrives!!!

Will be interesting to see what the final achievements are. Wasn't there talk of a flying vehicle? Would help massively in my hunt for the last 6 orbs!

Wait a second MS said that premium content will never have Achievement points attached to them (ie the point value of these achievements would be 0)

Really looking forward to this too, one of the only games I've had the patience to see through to the end, hopefully the addons will get me back into it for a while.

I thought they could add 250 points with paid contect

I.e Marvel + Oblivion

This gives a free 140 (making total to 1040 i guess as the orig game only had 900

Played this for about 5 hours yesterday. Really good game. Better than I was expecting.

Might just be the first premium content I purchase for a full priced game; but...

NOTE: Gamers can essentially “try before you buy” by partnering cooperatively with another player that has purchased the “Getting’ Busy Bonus Pack”. This will give both players full access to pack’s goodies, for that session. Trust us when we say that once you sample the fun of this pack, you’ll want to “Get Busy” every time!

Does that mean you can play with somebody else who doesn't have the pack as often as you want or will they limit you to having a maximum of one session only with a player that doesn't have the pack as a trial for them.

Not meaning to change topic, but can anyone tell me what is the best way to increase driving skills?

I'm at level 4 agility and strength, with level 3 in shooting and explosives, but I'm still only on level 2 for driving.

What are the differences between level's 2 to 3 and 3 to 4? When do I get guns on my car?!

Run gang members over. Driving skills start to shoot up
