Crackdown

Crackdown pushes the action-driving hybrid genre into the next generation with the first ever truly 3-D playground. Gamers will enforce justice by any means necessary in Pacific City, a crime-ridden urban center built to encourage the exploration of the full width, depth and height of the city. Coupled with highly innovative co-op gameplay - a genre first - and an interactive world where nearly anything can be used as a weapon, gamers will be able to create a volatile cocktail of judicial oppression as they clean up the streets.

Quartz, thats just not true- I couldn't give 2 shits about Halo 3 beta- I even got the game WITH the beta, and consciously decided that I didn't want to use it.

But I loved this game.....

Love it for its open-endedness, simplicity, and how the ability system blends in with the gameplay with a RPG fashion. Our agent improves as he uses his skills, and he improves alot!
Drive better, aim faster, jump higher, lift heavier and punch (kick) harder, and last but not least, destroy better (explosives).

It does have a big flaw, the storyline isn't what I'd say...catching, but it worked for me.
Nevertheless, I still think it's worth the time and money investment, even though it seems like just another clone, the game has much of his own to offer.

And that's all I can say without spoiling too much, get it if you enjoy the demo, the game will surely not turn you down then.

The new free downloadable add-on adds the option to reset the gangs so now you can replay the whole game without deleting your save.

The paid add-on adds some nice new stuff too. I hope they continue to support the game for at least a while longer. Although moving on to making a sequel would be great, too.

Yeah, for me the Achievements were the Missions and the Missions were just something to do if you happened to be in the area and felt like it.
It's still a hella fun game, but they could've made it easier to replay instead of making you delete your save. It's like they don't want you to replay it.

uhmmm

Mixed feelings about this game...
It has a fantastic game engine, cool physics, beautiful cell-shading and good control (excepting the aim-locking which sometimes locks on dead foes). It is very very fun to play, specially when you upgrade and start jumping matrix-style, throwing cars and vans, and shooting rockets from the air.

But it's like a "GTA Cop edition"... You can just kill foes, do vehicle races and jump races. Nothing else :(

I like it and I've almost finished it but it's a bit repetitive. I was hoping more variety on the missions.

IMHO seems like the developers had to rush and made a great game but didn't throw in more variety and "side-missions".

This game is a shining example of polish over features.

It could have had boats, planes, female agents, etc, but it does so many other things so right. The cracks when you land, the physics, the SUV, the brilliant acheivements.

A great entry into the market by Realtime Worlds.

This game is amazing! It's really unfortunate that the crime bosses can't really stay. I started a new game and instead of killing them, I just go to where they're at and kill their henchmen.

What kind of asshole reviews a game before its been released? What if its incomplete? What if its bug-ridden? What if it crashes all the time? What if the AI is dumbed down?

Seriously people- play the game- the complete game- and THEN review it....

Haven't had a go in co-op yet, but I'm glad to see games going this way. The lines between single and multiplayer are blurring even more.
This is one hell of a sandbox, though the AI makes the game a little less immersive (isn't it odd that a general stands on top of a building day and night holding their gun and waiting for you?). The Shai Gen may address this though.

Regardless, this game seems to have great focus on it's strengths. It's about all of the meat and none of the vegetables!

Agreed with everyone above, my girlfriend and I have been trading off playing the demo for over a week now. It's just too much fun! I hope the full game keeps us leaping around town for months!

I have this game preordered. This is the best game I have played in months. Yes, it's better than Gears of War.

The most fun demo ever. Jumping from building to building is so much fun that I don't think I'll be doing much driving.

This is game is a hell of ride. Me and a friend have being playing COOP a lot since we downloaded the demo and I can safely say that this is the most fun demo I have ever played. The physics systems is amazing and the explosions look really cool. The starter stats are easy to improve while having fun just doing whatever you want.

This game is definitely worth playing.
