Easter Egg: Crackdown 2 Agent Playable in Perfect Dark for XBLA
Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64 was an absolute treasure as far as retro(ish) FPSes go, so when the XBLA remake, complete with online multiplayer and improved visuals, was announced, it was a no-brainer pickup. And if the reviews didn’t convince you that you should pluck down $10 on the remake, then maybe this neat easter egg will.
If you buy Crackdown 2, Perfect Dark will find a savefile for the game on your hard drive, and allow you to unlock “Agent 4″, a black-clad agent that resembles Crackdown 2′s main character, in the game’s multiplayer modes. If you were already planning on picking up Crackdown 2, and you also own Perfect Dark, then this is a neat bonus for you. I’m not sure why Rare decided to do this, as they have nothing to do with the development or publishing of Crackdown 2, but I can’t complain.
Crackdown 2 hits stateside July 6th, Asia Pacific/New Zealand/Australia two days later, and in Europe on the 9th. Stay tuned for our review of the game, as it should go up around the time of the game’s release. [Source: Rare]
