Better than GTA4.....while it lasts August 13, 2008
Smokin...
Right lets get one thing straight, this game is a lot of fun! In fact the most fun i've had playing a game in ages. I picked this up fairly cheap not expecting much, a few cheap thrills perhaps and i was so surprised!!
The graphics are very nice, polished and very solid. The fact you can potentially go anywhere you want in the city literally if you can see it you can get there! The gameplay is phenomenal especially after a few hours and you start levelling up!! Who would want to jump over a tower block and throw cars into crowds of people..seriously the game isnt the longest (mission wise) but the pick up and play factor is huge!! I cant put it down.
I can honestly say i preferred this to GTA, until the missions ended..yes the main game is a bit short but heck it's a lot of fun!
Get it!
Hopefully a sequel will be in the works??

This is a very good game. It will last for quite a while (About 15-20hrs) and is even better played on XBox LIVE. This isn't a "proper" shooter its more of a action shoot 'em up meets super hero game. You can upgrade your powers to be able to throw things further, jump higher( you can eventually jump to about 35 ft)run faster shoot more accurately and blow things up better.If your looking for something with a good story though this isn't it.
Overall this is a great game and will keep you entertained for some time. I give it 5 stars!

What can i say for this game? That it constantly surprises me at every turn? the graphics and sound are second to none? Whatever you think, these statements are true.
Though Crackdown has no paticular story, it makes up for that with intense action and non-stop thrills. The array of guns were unparalled by none. One minute you are eating a Subway sandwich in the park, and the next you are waging terrible war with bloodthirsty criminals!
To put it simply, Crackdown is simply astonishing. The freeform jumping and chasing sequences are bound to exhilerate even the most boring of people. If you are hesitating to buy this game, i order you not to, or you will never find the apparent "perfect game"
 I like it, but it's not quite as good as I thought it would be October 19, 2007

As my title says, I did enjoy this game but am kinda disappointed by it. After hearing about the great reviews it got & a ex gf of mine saying it was really good I decided to buy it. So let's move onto reviweing the different elements of the game.
Graphically, it's a nice game with graphic novel (aka cell shaded) graphics & I like the designs for the agency pistol & assault rifle & it makes a nice change since I'm more use to Bioshock, Lost Planet, Gears Of War etc in those terms.
Gameplay wise, it is a lot like other sandbox genre games in terms of shooting but there is the ability of being able to leap great distances like The Incredible Hulk which is quite easy to get to grips with, only negative point is that being able to leap 30 feet across the city in a single bound makes simple jumps quite tricky sometimes & sometimes guns would lock onto vehicles or dead bodies which doesn't help much.
The presentation is nice, the boxart is quite ok to look at & the manual is as another review mentions done like a hand manual which I always quite like as it makes you feel more part of the game, but this game has a big problem with involvement which I'll get onto shortly.
Storyline, is well, about 0.01% existent. It is as simple as kill bad guys to make city safe, your agent has no story or past except that he's there to crush gang members with guns, his foot & the odd car or so if you feel like it. So unfortunately having an instruction manual that reads like you are the agent rather than a gamer is a bit pointless in a game that doesn't really involve you in a story.
Lifespan is short, shorter than I expected it to be. I recieved it yesterday & completed it today & I wasn't even that good at it sometimes & spent a lot of time messing about. It didn't help that I managed to take down one of the last generals in a space of a few minutes & killed very few guards & just knocked him over with a kick & stomped on him till he was dead like most the other ones. I would have also liked to have seen more than 3 agency weapons, I would have liked an agency sniper rifle & rocket launcher at least. Having completed it, I've realised how much I've missed games like The Darkness, Bioshock, Gears Of War & even Halo 3. Sure, I'll play this again from time to time but it won't be something I'll be really playing like I would other games.
So in a nutshell, not a bad game it just is a bit disappointing & not quite as good as a filler I thought it would be, it's gonna be a while before I fire it up again.
