Looks to feature online co-op up to 4 players, and online multiplayer (competitive I assume) of up to 16. I don't know why i loved the first one so much, something about leaping buildings and throwing cars at people, and people at cars, and people at people, and exploding barrels.

I had never even heard of the first one until recently. Just checked out a video on Youtube and it looks horrible... like N64 horrible... but people seem to like it regardless. Looks a little fun, but damn those graphics are a joke.

lol what? the graphics were, perhaps not stellar, but good nonetheless. hardly n64 horrible.

Not sure what you were looking at our watching be played but the graphics were pretty solid for an early 360 game. It had a graphic style that reminded me of cell shaded games, and it looked great on this game.

Nooo, completely wrong. Even now the game still looks great, You can see almost every Island and all buildings without the game even studdering, the cell shade looks works perfect with the game, nothing looks blocky or pixelated.

A demo of Ruffian Games' third-person action sequel is due to go live today and will enable players to experience the game's "accelerated Agent levelling, four-player co-op, and the ability to earn Demo Achievements," according to Microsoft.
Demo Achievements will be upgraded to the real thing if you go on to purchase the full game, out on July 9.

Major nelson confirms the demo is today, doesn't mention co-op or achievements

Way more awesome than the first, though I hate time limited demos. Lose all your skill progress each time, although your skills level up really fast so I suppose it doesn't matter too much. Probably pretty easy to get a skill to max level if you just focused on getting it up the whole time. I hit level 4 out of 6 on everything but explosives just dicking about. Some of the achievements sound like fun, one for killing an enemy whilst upside down in a gunturret and another for pinning 5 enemies to a single vehicle with the harpoon gun.
