    Played about 4 hours of this today, not left the Russian area yet as there is quite a bit to do.

    This time the game involves capturing defended locations and holding them from a wave of reinforcements rather then hitting gang leaders, or at least as far as i've played so far. All the other stuff from the first one is still in - orbs, roof races, car races, stunt rings and so on. For some reason there isn't a time limit on the races anymore, you just do them to post a time (presumably for live penis comparison, not sure since i'm not gold) and for XP.

    The city is mostly the same where i've been, althougth it is a bit wrecked and the atmosphere is allot different. Less civilians around and more random firefights breaking out, terrorists fighting Agency during the day and everybody fighting the mutants at night.

    Theres more vehicles this time, althougth leveling up unlocks more rather then changing the ones you already have. You can also get vehicles dropped at supply points instead of having to go back to the tower and you can also get stolen civvy cars put into stock for later use. XP is much less of a grind to get now since some roads are packed with zombies at night.

    Pew pew pew is much the same. You also get acess to new guns from levelling as well as picking them up from terroists and taking them back to supply points. Grenades and exploding have thier own skill now, again with new stuff available by leveling.

    Enjoying it so far, recommended if you liked the first and want more of the same.

    I'm loving this game so far. Only thing stopping me from playing it all weekend is my girlfriend complaining about me playing it.

    Was psyched when I got to a new level in one of my abilities and the Voice told me I could now remove turreted weapons and use them. Felt great to then carry round a MiniGun.

    Okay, so has anyone else seen the 'quacker' grenades and wondered how to unlock them? Here's how to do it.

    Go to Facebook.com and search for a game called 'Chucks Ducks 2'. Link your facebook to your gamertag by clicking below the game area. Save enough ducks and you'll get the message 'your ducks are waiting for you in Pacific City'. Head to the carnival and you'll find quacker grenades spawned in one of the booths. Take it to the nearest check in point (which should be the carnival) and you've got em!

    They detonate HUGE! And they're remote triggered. Throw one, then hit the RB button again to detonate.

    You don't have to play the quackers game to unlock them, I got the, the first time I went near the carnival area.

    Currently stuck on the Freak Lair at the old Security centre, can't seem to find the right combination of weapons to take the BIG guys down quickly.

    Should be a turret around there. Use it to target the beacon itself. If your explosives is high enough, you'll take out everyone around the big guy and take the big guy himself.

    LOLZ, I jumped the curve and went fighting in the ex-Yakuza district to get the supply point above the northen Russian island and to pick up some fancier guns. I succeed in both, but my drive back turned into Mad Max and Cell dudes are now driving around at night in cars and trucks with rocket launchers and miniguns on them.

    It woulden't have been so bad if I was driving the Supercar or SUV, but I was too lazy to wait and just took a nearby peacekeeper motor that ended up flying over the edge of a bridge in flames.

    I've not come across choppas to use yet, probably because i've not been back to the tower since the tutorial.

    Might have to have a look tonight and rain down some firey vengence.

    Already this has surpassed the first. my biggest problem with the first game is that after you beat the last boss, you literally have nothing to do. It's harder than hell to get enough enemies to spawn to make a challenge or raise your skills up.
    I just found out yesterday that you can take your agent from one save into any other save you have, including brand new games. It's not exactly new game +, but it's damn close!

    God I love that.
