Ok. To start things off i'm gonna say up front When your playing this game forget there is a storyline. Now that thats out of the way you wont be dissapointed. Crackdown 2 was obviously not made for its storyline. All of crackdown 2's fun comes from blowing people sky high, catching renegade orbs, upgrading your stats and watching your Character (Agent) Evolve drastically. The game never ends until you have 100 % everything so there is so many things you can do once the story is "over". The 4 player co-op online makes the game better because its always alot easier to beat things with more agents. the story line itself ...Quite easily...SUCKS. but just because the storyline sucks doesnt mean that jumping off a 20 story building, and ground pounding the ground to kill a block worth of enemies sucks. Quite easily this game is great, not for its story but for the thought and development that went into the characters, the abilities, the upgrade system and the all around playability of it. if your still skeptical ...Rent it... the storyline itself is very short cant give a time estimate because i didnt keep track.
Ok so weapons wise they added alot of rocket launchers including the flocket launcher- which is a homing missle launcher that can attack in rapid succesion (think machine gun only slower with dead aim accuracy it will literaly do circles around the target until it hits it sometimes) the other launchers are a turret missile launcher and a homing missle launcher(think flocket launcher but alot slower but highly explosive and deadly.) there are numerous machine guns and sub machine guns mostly all the same shot and damage wise. and then there are the shot guns heh. ok so there are regular shot guns and then there is my personal favorite... the UV Shotgun!!! basically its self explanitory its a shotgun that shoots UV rays to desintegrate Freaks (or zombies as i like to call em) not very effective on cell enemies except pushing them back ... way back.as far as grenades the only two in this catagory that stand out to me are the Duck bomb as i like to call it (its literally a rubber duck that is trigger activated and sets off a highly explosive all while quacking lol. and then there is the cluster bomb which sets off 4 explosions in rapid succession. Vehicles are basic you start with a normal agency car - slow but gets the job done, the agency buggy quick acceleration a little faster than the agency car but also has a top mounted turret you control while driving, my personal favorite the supercar- very fast and when impact is made head on with another car it will send that car flying out of the waywithout reducing ur speed!!!. the trucklike suburban thing (forgot what its called because i dont really use it) can jump over certain objects by holding down B and then releasing. enough about the vehicles. Once you upgrade your abilities to a certain level you unlock new actions such as the ground pound basically its where you can jump from any distance in the air and pound the ground to send enemies flying, theres the shoulder charge where you run while knocking any vehicles or people out of ur way, both of these are upgraded through the strength ability another ability is the glide suit where u jump off buildings and glide (self explanatory). now as you can see this is only a few of the things you can do there are far more things you can unlock and do you just have to play the game for yourself ...Good Luck!!
All i have to say for a game that's been in development for 18 months they took a game that i loved and made it even better. Can't stop playing it. And with 3 other friends it's a ton of fun. A game like this does not need a story. If you're looking for a story read a book if you're looking for a fun additive game get this. If you are a true fan of the 1st game there is no reason and i mean no reason why you wouldn't love this game.
