    As the other guys state, they are having some issues. Thing is - I don't hold a grudge. Get past it and get ready for one of the best coop-experiences out there. Really loads of fun at a great price.

    Tragically, Overkill is having some issues with the online experience, but I trust them when they're telling us it's on its way. Overkill has the best community in the world.

    At $40, you can't go wrong with this one. Call your friends and start planning heists! When the problems are fixed, you have +400 hours of awesome gameplay ahead of you.

    Bugs or not , yes they need to be fixed asap but this is really an only minor complaint against such a monumental game.

Pulling off the perfect heist is the most satisfying part of this game and no other game comes close. How about the aced gun mechanics on loud missions. You learn in the enforcer class how to be the ultimate badass. This is the next generation of gameplay the cutting edge… Expand

    Pretty awesome game, not too mad about the crimenet bug, its still lots of fun running solo missions to perfection if no of my friends are online to make a co-op game with. Really love the music and the suspense of pulling off a stealthy heist. Been playing a few month on pc back when it was released in 2013 and its great to finally be able to play it with almost all new content added overPretty awesome game, not too mad about the crimenet bug, its still lots of fun running solo missions to perfection if no of my friends are online to make a co-op game with.

    Lovely game with a splending community!

    The guys back at Starbreeze and Overkill are really helpful!

    All DLCs included makes it a great deal! ~d[O.o]b~

    This game is A-W-E-S-O-M-E SOLO GAMING AT ITS BEST..

    ~~~The #1 attribute of Payday2 is its a quick game session if one chooses. 1 Solo heaist can take 10-15 minutes. go play a diferent game, & switch back yadda yadda.

    --Games that are addictive are my absolute favs.. Falout Vegas,State of Decay,Borderlands etc etc. And Payday fits right in there of games im thinking about when im away from couch..

    --People cant be trusted to even give a everage -to- por score on a game they didn't "love'. They have to put a 1 or a 0.
    ---This mentality hurts gamers trying to use metacritic because what happens when I truly 'broken' game likeBattlefield4 or SimCity comes out... The boy who cried wolf indeed!!! cause the same fans said a "WORKING" game was-not working..

    fix this issue metacritic!    … Expand

    Absolutely love this game, the co-op is insanely good, the single player is an extra hard challenge (I play with the horrible A.I. off). Its 13 bucks on the xXbox store currently, pick this bad boy up.

    Payday 2 on the xbox may be outdated but it has the gameplay of what you expect from a crazy heisting game it has diffrent characters that fit your style weapons that are different. not only that you can play stealth as well i think this game is a really good game sure its engine is rusty but it doesnt stop the experience over all i would buy this

    Payday 2 crime wave edition is the (kinda) remake of the original payday 2 for the xbox one it is kinda similar to the original but better with more heists, weapons, dlc, and slightly improved graphics but I can't see much of a difference I don't recommend this is if you have the original payday 2 unless your friends have it on Xbox one or you have Xbox game pass but if not enjoy

    This game is really easy to get into. Sure after a while it can get boring, but thats why a payday 3 would be great because they could do a lot more. I played nothing but this game for a month straight. Its a worth while game to play if your bored of all your current games and no new game are coming out.

    I dont get all of the hate i love this alot and i still play it to this day its just a fast and fun experience. The main reason why people complain is about the dlc well i think buying dlc helps the publisher to produce bigger and better games so ill buy the game and give money to my favorite studio. So this is the one of the best games i have ever played and you should enjoy it too

    The best version of a still great online co-op shooter. [Sept 2015, p.104]

    Great game when it works like it should – but is that a disclaimer we should really tolerate?

    Though it doesn’t exactly put the added power of the PS4 and Xbox One to full use, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is the best-looking console version of Payday 2 you can get, and the best value on any platform for obtaining its wealth of downloadable content.
