Microsoft has released a playable demo that’ll give you a taster of how Crackdown 2 is shaping up.

Aside from giving you a chance to play through a portion of the single player campaign AND four-player co-op, the demo offers deferred achievements and there’s also an interactive Facebook game called ‘Chuck’s Ducks 2’ doing the rounds.

If you’re already throwing cars around the streets at your mates in four-player co-op, let us and your fellow readers know what you think below.

Crackdown 2 launches on July 8th in New Zealand.

UPDATE - 1.30pm: The following launch trailer for Crackdown 2 was released earlier today.
