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.

Bottom Line: Play it!
Great game, lots of fun. There were some significant parts that I found a bit lacking (mainly the driving option... I think i drove once) and it ends a bit ubruptly.. but overall a superior gaming experience!

The game itself feels a bit constrained. For example you can upgrade your agility and leap around the city (a la spiderman) which IS indeed very fun. however all it allows you to actually do is avoid ever having to drive and to collect more agility.

The story is non-existant (but who really needs a story here, youre a heavily armed supercop) and the replay potential is virtually non-existant, the only real side missions are races of various sorts which are really just kind of silly. As i said, the game is great for awhile but it really does just drop you. however i have heard rumors of a fourth island available for download soon, which may spruce endgame up a bit. and hopefully deliver some new freakin' weapons....
