Crackdown 2 Toy Box Add-On Announced

Microsoft has revealed the first piece of DLC for Crackdown 2 and will introduce the “Keys to the City” mode from the first.

The Toy Box content will come in two different versions and will be developed by Dundee studio Proper Games with Ruffian overlooking the release.

The first version of the content will be free and include a new vehicle tag mode, a level six ability reward and the Keys to the City mode.

Meanwhile the second Toy Box version will cost Xbox 360 owners 560 MSP and includes 10 new achievements, avatar awards, new vehicles and additional gadgets.

Players who don't purchase the premium add-on will only have access to the new vehicles and gadgets when they play online through Xbox LIVE with a friend who has picked up the DLC.

We were rather disappointed with Crackdown 2 with the open-world action game feeling much like the previous version and hardly offering anything new, check out the contents of both versions of the Toy Box add-on below.

The free version will contain:

• Keys to the City: Made notorious in the first “Crackdown” expansion as the ultimate cheat mode, Keys to the City returns to “Crackdown 2” and puts an even bigger set of tools at your disposal, including God Mode, Infinite Ammo, Fly Cam, spawning of weapons, gadgets and more, the ability to freeze the time of day, and pushing all skills to the maximum to become faster, stronger and more lethal.
• Level 6 Reward: Fans who reach Level 6 on all Agent skills will be rewarded with the new Thruster Ability. Thruster Ability is like having jetpacks for your boots, giving Agents built-in vertical propulsion to activate flying with the Wingsuit no matter where you are in the game.
• Vehicle Tag: Once you’re done taking down the Freaks and the Cell, join your friends for a thrilling new multiplayer mode where up to eight Agents can compete in these six arenas: Speed is the Quay, Industrial Action, Maim Street, Skid Row, Beachhead and The Sum of Human Knowledge.

Meanwhile for 560 MSP players will be able to pick up:

• Two New Vehicles: Access two new vehicles: the wall climbing aquatic mini-tank called the Agency ATV and the Squad Chopper, which allows four players to jump in and man their own weapon, including the proximity mine launcher, precision rocket launcher, twin machine guns and nose machine gun.
• Five New Toys: Whether you’re soaring to greater heights or orchestrating a massive explosion, get creative with the following new toys: The Mass Driver (turreted gravity bending weapon), Portable Launch Pads (allows Agents to create their own launch pad jumps), Stickler Grenade (bouncing grenade that sets off smaller explosive charges as it bounces), Thrusters (allow vertical thrust), and Mags on Characters (allow Mag Grenades to be attached to characters).
• Two Avatar Awards: Deck your Agent in the latest gear. “Toy Box” offers two Avatar Awards to customise your Xbox LIVE Avatar with the Xbox Green Suit (must complete the Rocketeer Achievement) and Green Helmet.
• Industrious Agents will be rewarded with 10 new Achievements totalling an additional 250 Gamerscore.
• Eight Agent Suit Colours: Pick up eight new shades of in-game armour for your Agent:
  
  • Peacekeeper
  • Terror Firma
  • Agent Orange
  • May Contain Nuts
  • Minti-Sting
  • Mega Agent
  • Haz Mat
