Fantastic! True sandbox game with a proper camera, controls and without an annoying 'script' to get in the way. Just great fun anyway you wanna play it. Twice the fun in Co-op

The build of the game... graphics, open world, etc I give an 8. Its Good but not the best looking game with the most options out there. That aside... the gameplay is a 10! This is just a really fun game to play! I haven't been so addicted to a game since my days with Oblivion. Get this game.

Great fun, loads of battles and great platforming elements. Increasing your characters ability is really rewarding when you realize you can leap over entire buildings and pick up cars etc. Very amusing. On the downside (and te reason i gave this a 7) is once you have defeated all the bosses the game just feels empty. I wiped out everyone in 3 days! The co-op does add re-playability to it but not enough to make this a classic.… Expand

Very well put together and fun game. The aiming takes some time to get used to which puts some people off, but once you learn how to use it you can pull off some amazing feats.

FPS Master's review is pretty much spot on. Initially the game is awsome; the graphics and sound are excellent but you really need a HD TV and a 5.1 system. I would say I was a gamer with average ability but still managed to complete the main missions in about 15 hours. I've still got the side missions to do (jumping, driving and orb collecting) but I don't feel I really need to do them. If you are not interested in the Halo3 beta, this is definately a rental.… Expand

My friends and I used to spice up boring weeknights by playing GTAIII with cheat codes. We'd fly around with jetpacks and uzis and blow up everything. Crackdown is a game that takes that sort of absurd mayhem to heart. It is short. It's targeting system is so-so. The way skills are leveled doesn't always make a lot of sense, as it requires you to play entirely different styles to level up your combat (strength, firearms, explosives) skills vs. your driving or agility - level grinding, basically, but quicker and thus, usually over before it becomes boring. But these faults are easy to forget the first time you bust in on some Volk gangster and throw a bus at his head, or the first time your manage to climb all the way to the top of the impossibly tall Agency tower. There are so many fun things to do - run over things with the Agency Truckcab, load up on rockets and blow EVERYTHING apart, and all of it takes place on an absurdist level. The SUV, for example, seems to simply float during jumps - it makes no sense, but it's certainly good times. In many ways, this game could be so much more. What if leveling skills gave you access to unique items? What if the boss encounters were more unique? What if the weapons were more various? But these what-ifs don't cloud the fact that Crackdown is a game you can load up after work, destressing as you jump from roof-top to roof-top with a rocketlauncher, blowing anything that offends your sensibilities to bits. For that, Crackdown is worthy of praise.… Expand

An Immersive experience that is easy to get lost in. Part game, part playground and all enjoyable.

While I don't think any game out for the 360 is yet worthy of the coveted "10", I must say that this game is a solid 9. It takes what other sandbox games have offered and runs, jumps and drives with it. The thing I never liked about GTA was the loose controls and general feeling that you were moving in slow motion. CD eliminates that feeling. Anytime you can kick someone off a skyscraper, jump after him all the while pumping bullets into him as he plummets you've got to be having a good time. On top of all of this? You get the HALO3 beta. Very nice package indeed. Good job guys.… Expand

The mark I have given this game is based on the several hours I have played it so far on its UK release date, today. I have undertaken solo and co-op (more fun!) modes and can say that Gears of War won't be back in my 360 for at least a few days. The graphics aren't 'gears' good, but they are pretty special, but it is the free roaming gameplay which makes this title rock the Kasbah! Do what you want when you want, team up with another player (or even better, a friend, and the fun is doubled. Worth at least a rental, and definately worth buying if you liked saints row or GTA. Currently has Halo3 beta invite bundled too, so go for it. You wont regret it, thats what ebay is for!… Expand

Crackdown is an extremely fun and addictive game. I haven't played anything else basically since I got it. It sucks that stupid civilians who get in they line of fire and killed actually hurt your physical attribute stats, but ehh. It's still fun as hell and everyone should go out and buy it!

Really addictive game at first. Has some cool cel-shaded graphics too. Some say it looks like an Xbox game, but I think they're missing the point. It has tons of objects and people on-screen, with a long draw distance and not much pop-up with hardly any framerate problems. This could not have been done on Xbox without 10 fps at most. Nice textures too. The problem is, you will play it a lot at first because it's so addictive, but you will also finish it quickly and have most of the achievements after about 2 days. The missions themselves are pretty boring and cheap, but collecting all the orbs and getting the achievements are really fun. They're second to King Kong for easiest achievements on 360. Co-op is fun, but a problem with it is someone else will get more experience than you if you ride with them or vice versa. You don't get any of the driving skills while just riding along with someone. It also seems most people want to split up to do their own thing making co-op kinda pointless and nonexistent anyway. It's just easier to play by yourself and get through the game. Also upgrading your character is fun, but you will have them maxed out in a couple of days. This could have definitely used some more diversity in the missions and it just needs more for you to do because once the new wears off and you upgrade and collect most of the orbs, it gets boring because there's nothing left to do. A novice player will have the wrapped up in less than a week. Could have been a rental, but you won't get to play the Halo 3 beta when it's ready without a purchase of a new copy. Too bad, because I want to sell it now towards something else before it drops in price rapidly and I know it will by the end of March without much replay value to keep people coming back for more.… Expand

This game is freakin awesome! It has all the freedom that I expected out of it. If I choose between Crackdown and Dead rising, Crackdown would be my #1 choice.

Remember NES, when video games weren't very deep, they were just loads of fun? If you do, you will love this game. If you play GTA the way that I do, (all the cheats on, don't do any missions, go around causing mayhem) you will love this game. Sure, it's far from perfect. There's a couple of minor gameplay issues, but mostly it plays incredibly well. Most of the issues are in the things you are given to do. It could be longer. Another gang or two...some types of cool and unique side missions. Some more multiplayer options, like offline, would be sweet. But it's all the best parts of GTA w/o the unnecessary crap (goodbye cliched story and cheesy dialog) and with superhero type powers built into your character (hello building climbing, car throwing and rooftop races.) Yes, it's every bit as fun as that sounds. Probably the most pure fun you will get out of any current 360 game. I don't see how anyone with a pulse could not enjoy playing this. The only reason it gets an 8 is because I'm not sure if they'll charge for future downloadable gangs, which are supposed to be in the works. If they put out 2 or 3 more gangs and some new weapons and maybe some new modes for free, this game will be a 9 or 10. If they try to charge us for extra content on a short game we already paid $60 for.....people will not be....happy. To say the least. Don't nickel and dime us and it's all good. Hold back game content only to f*** us later on....no bueno Microsoft. Don't do it. Or else.… Expand

Awesome!

People have criticized Crackdown for being too short. They say it only takes 6 hours or so to "complete" the game. Those people are muppets. What they mean is it takes about that amount of time to kill all the gang bosses if you focus on doing that at the exclusion of all the other parts of the game. However, there's so much more to the game than just this. Gary Penn from Denki used to write in Edge about how games should be "toysets", with each toy being fun in its own right. Nowhere is the realization of this vision more evident than in Crackdown. He and long-time collaborator Dave Jones have worked with the Real time Worlds team to produce a truly entertaining box of toys. It's true that one of the toys, the gang-boss-fighting toy, doesn't take long to see the end of. But there is also a free running platform game toy, a driving game toy, a stunt car toy and many others. All of the toys are a lot of fun to play with. The game is probably the current pinnacle of the sandbox genre. Largely direction less, the main motivation for play are the achievements. They encourage you to explore the world fully and to play with all the toys. It wouldn't work if each toy wasn't fun but it is. It works beautifully. I don't know how many hours I've played it now but it must be a lot and I'm still having fun finding new things. Even the bugs are fun. If I had to criticize, I'd say the driving doesn't really become fun until you've put some time into upgrading your driving skill. Also, the multiplayer seems a bit of an afterthought, relying mostly on you making your own games if you're going to play it for more than an hour or so. Overall though, this is a wonderful example of how to provide a playground for players. As a truly 3D, toy-filled open world, it is peerless.… Expand

Absolutely awesome in almost every conceivable way.

Extremely addictive and the most fun I had with a game for a very long time.

Fabulous game that you will keep coming back to time and again. Only made better with the addition of the downloadable content. Ace!

Brilliant game. Hours of fun and hard earned game achievements make this a long lasting, action packed, instant classic.

This game.... Is so BAD!!!!! OMG! Like.. its so bad... i feel like playing something good to get its horribleness out of my mind.. Pathetic crap. The only reason it has a 2.. is cause of the graphics. Not even the halo beta can save it.

this game is not a bad game but also not a very good game. once you beat it once there really is no use to play it agian. but the first time you play it it is great. kind of like Gta. but you really don't have to go on surrten missons right away. you can chosse to free the easyest city then go to the hardest or go right after the boss right away. or try to elemiante some of his people to make him weaker. i always eleminate all but one of the bosses people then i go after him. some times after you deffet the boss the pepole who you did not deffet show up but not a lot. just rent it twice or alroud that and beat it and if you like it a lot buy it used. the car controls could be better though. it just takes some time to get used to them.… Expand

Very underrated game. Wont win any awards in the story or narrative department but just a sheer joy to play. A unique but well executed visual style, varied game play, and some really fun achievements to earn. This should be in every 360 owner's collection.

Amazing fun to be had here. No real story to speak of, but for those who play GTA just for fooling around this is right up your alley. I don't know how I can go back to GTA with out the ability to jump across city streets.

Best game so far!!!

Ok this game is awesome. Its a definite must buy. Its my favorite game i got. Its like saints row on crack but better. You get to upgrade and as you upgrade you obviously get stronger,jump higher farther,shoot better,better driving/handling etc. As you get you driving up you can transform as i call it the agency vehicles into bigger stronger and must faster vehicles. There all tons of guns and all awesome. The explosions are really cool and you can climb huge buildings and stuff its awesome. Once you get about 30 min into the game and understand it you dont wanna quit its probably more addicting than oblivion and that was very addicting. But the bad part is that you can probably beat it in about 8 hours or less if you just sit there killing bosses so just mix it in with messing around thats what i do. I have been messing around driving and killing bad guys for the past 2 days now and its still not boring. And when i see a main boss i kill him or at least try and die. This game is very very very fun oh and you can take anything and use it as a weapon. So basicly its a must buy game trust me its very good. And the graphics are good to and for all this i give it a 10 out of 10. Great game!!!!!!… Expand

Not perfect but definitely fun. The game is entertaining and I recomend it for any 360 owner. The graphics arent great but they work for the 360. The combat system is easy to learn and entertaining and will keep you blowing up city blocks worth of badguys for quite some time as long as you dont just rush the bosses and finish the game. My only major hang up is the driving mechanic. I find the cars touchy, but at the same time hard to handle in these environments which have made me avoid almost all the driving contests in favor of jumping from roof to roof.… Expand

On top of my list of XBOX 360 games, and I am talking 3 years after release. I keep coming back, the shear playability, fun and explorative dimentions of this game are fabulous. NEED TO HAVE title for the 360. Try it and you'll be a crackhead as well.

One of my favourite xbox 360 titles yet. Fantastic co-op mode which is great with a mate. Hours of fun. One of the best parts is the free-roaming. Driving cars and collecting agility orbs can keep you occupied for hours.

I downloaded the demo the first day it came out, not really thinking it was gonna be anything more than another crap GTA clone...boy was I wrong, These talented game designers have put together a title which "borrows" from the grand theft genre, but has enough of its own originality to really make you feel like youre playing a much different game. The physics engine is so much fun to just mess around with by driving off of cliffs, vaulting off of rocks at high speeds...etc. All in all this is a game I most certainly reccomend. Did I mention that all of my thoughts on this game are being based on the FREE DEMO? I can't imagine what the full version is going to be like.… Expand

Takes the parts of GTA that I loved, the satisfaction of free-roaming in a world that feels completely alive, and puts that as it's core and wraps it up in a great 'rewards' system of skill orbs and gets topped off with solid controls for fighting and driving.

A great free-roaming adventure combing the best elements of GTA, Spiderman 2 and Mercenaries. Leaping across rooftops and collecting agility orbs to power-up your character is breathtaking (Try climbing the agency tower for some classic platforming style action!) To really appreciate this game you have to be willing to make your own fun - the designers have provided a relatively short campaign - but there are few side activities other than the ones you create yourself. Still - who can argue with being able to juggle a 4X4 in the air with explosives?… Expand

I wasn't too sure about this game at first, but i'm glad I got it. Crackdown is a different kind of game. To me it feels like GTA in some ways, but when you start jumping over buildings, and get hooked on finding the orbs, it feels like a platformer. The action gets kind of crazy and sometimes you may feel like you've stepped into a situation you can't handle, but in reality you can. There's too much to say about this game, but the main point is the game is good… Expand

This games offers an experience I never expected, especially playing co-op with friends. It totally blows away Saints Row and gives GTA a serious run for its money. Its game play is so compelling, you’ll not be able to leave it alone, even when you’ve conquered an area, you’ll go rummaging for orbs you’ve left behind searching every nook and cranny. The fun of navigating your way to the top of the tallest buildings which are puzzles in themselves whilst snipers are trying to take you down, then watching your friends dispatch themselves in the most horrific of ways during miscalculated vaults from skyscrapers is priceless whilst they trying to get there before you. There is so much going on you really feel alive in there, the amount of people & traffic going about their business adds to this. Their reactions to you and everyone else is so convincing it gives you a real sense of guilt when you accidentally mow an innocent down. Not only is this a show piece for the 360’s abilities and Renderwares fantastic engine, the game designers have given me the happy pill I’ve been wanting for years. Give me more, I’m addicted!… Expand

Crackdown is one of the most fun games ever made. But what it makes up for in pure fun, it loses in length, story, and depth. Its lacking a storyline of any kind, there are no truley fun side missions, and the whole game can be beaten in a few days. All of this said, its still a blast to play!

This is such a bizzare yet additively fun blend of several genres. It has the regenerating health and easily throwable grenades of Halo, the expansive city of GTA, and crazy superhero powers. The action is hard and heavy. Its only bad faults are an questionable camera at times, and the lack of side missions or variety. Collecting orbs is incredibly addictive though, it puts the "Crack" in Crackdown! The fact that this game includes an invite to the beta of the most anticipated game of 2007 (Um, Halo 3!) is just icing on the cake!… Expand

Do me a favor!? Go and look at Metacritics review of Doom 3, then tell me the critics got that right? Doom 3 is far worse than Crackdown, but bwoy here is perfect rental material! Grand theft's in their prime smash this game and it is a pity, as I really wanted to like it! Shallow and too simplistic.

This really kept my attention more than most games, but something I can't quite pinpoint kept it from being a 10. It's still a really good game, though.

I think this game really really sucks the whole game is repetitive and when you are fighting against 50 guys and you are the only one there and you kill them all. That is just plain stupid. in real life those guys would kill u in a sinch. all you do is kill mob bosses, mexicans, japanese guys and russians. no real plot to the game either and no story at all it totally SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Very fun game, great content and enjoyable for hours on end co-op play across Xbox Live. The only short coming is that a majority of the races and special missions require purchasing add-ons to include the best weapons and best vehicles capable within the game. Other than Microsoft's desire for additional income from the players, the game is well constructed and using the included equipment and races you are still able to have a lot of fun playing.… Expand

If you like leveling up character stats, going on virtual rampages, playing with a friend, and getting 360 achievments, you are sure to love this game. There is a story despite what you've heard, there is no loading times aside from starting the game up or switching supply points, and the explosions are seriously some of the most kick ass I've witnessed to date in ANY video game. But after the achievments, and after the story, I'd give this game a months time of replay value left, after that, it does get old. It's a double rent. Not a buy in my opinion.… Expand

I really enjoyed this game although it is a very short game. I think the achievements should be more challenging. I saw some comments that said the game was to easy then i was thinking y dont u just raise the difficulty u morons?

It baffles me that people complain about or even mention the lack of story in this game. There is a story of sorts, but so what if there wasn't? Personally, I like not having some badly scripted, poorly acted dross that would only impress an particularly unintelligent teenager forced on me in the name of a "story". Crackdown is a game that lets its gameplay speak for it. I really enjoyed the freedom to roam and do as I pleased in this game more than in any of the GTA games. As your character levels-up there's a real sense of fun to be had leaping from building to building and dispensing destruction in ever more powerful ways (the lobber weapon available in the recently released download pack is great fun, as are some of the new vehicles). For me the only downsides were some pretty boring driving missions and the undeniable lack of variety in the core missions. Nevertheless, this game is above all else fun, and that's what games should be. You can keep your long drawn out cut scenes and limp attempts to court testosterone fuelled 'yoofs' with a 'gangta' obsession, Crackdown is a sadly under-rated game that deserves a sequel.… Expand

An amazing experience. However, it doesn't last long enough. Once you've played with everything there is to play with and completed the fairly tedious "storyline" missions it gets old, fast. With some more time spent on creating a solid, long, set of missions that somehow challenged the player to use their powers in unique and changing ways, this could have been a 9+ game. Here's hoping they manage to take it to the next level in a sequel or similar title.… Expand

I am positive that the majority of the gamers who bought this game only bought it to play the Halo 3 beta but Crackdown alone is still a decently good game. It's gameplay is better than Grand Theft Auto's because you can jump 20 feet high and drive a sports car at 160 mph loaded with machine guns. But unlike GTA you can't go into details with your character like builing muscles or getting fat off of fast food or clothes or hair style. And Crackdown did come out with a cheat mode available for download but nothing can beat the GTA cheats (if you have GTA San Andreas you HAVE to play it withs cheats sometime).… Expand

For me this has been the most addictive game on the 360. It basically is a next gen grand theft auto, but with a futuristic theme. It will take about 10 hrs to get through the main missions, and 30+ more with the side missions. I do wish there was more content, but that's a compliment. It's an outstanding game.

Very good game. It will keep your playing and playing, also if you like just messing around with the Havoc physics, like a Grand Theft Auto game you can go to the marketplace and download the Free For All pack for free. It's extremely fun. Reason why I give it a 7 is the fact that when you're asked to do co-op on Xbox Live, it usually lags or gets disconnected after a few tries.

The game may lack depth and variety;, however, building up your agent's abilities to the point where he can throw cars and leap from rooftop to rooftop, all while making head-shots with a pistol, quickly become addicting. The game also has a nice soundtrack and a rather large city to explore.

Incredibly fun game that gives as much joy in exploring its environment as in finishing the missions. I’m pretty much going to ignore the driving aspects of this game since I am basically helpless without a steering wheel and, more importantly, think that this is a secondary attribute of the game. The strong platforming mechanics of Crackdown combined with its long draw distances, good sound effects, and a rich urban environment add up to a captivating motion experience. As you play, the visuals and sounds of running, climbing, jumping, and falling through the city are immersive. Scaling the top of the tallest building will put you on the edge of your seat. As you stand, jump (and fall) from great heights it is sometimes hard not to get a sense of vertigo. That is how good the game play is. Another thing I find extremely impressive is the city setting: it really feels like a city. It is huge and has a lot of diverse neighborhoods and districts. Very rich. As you progress through the game, your character learns to run faster and jump farther by exploring tall structures (i.e. building rooftops, cranes, towers, etc…) and collecting something called “agility orbs”. One of the benefits of more agility is the improved ability to get more agility – this kind of positive feedback helps motive the player to spend a lot of time on top of the city looking for orbs. Agility also helps the character in resolving his missions (the crackdown). The game’s main objective is to eradicate the organized crime organizations/gangs within the city. As you progress through Crackdown, your character gets stronger, shoots straighter, and blows stuff up bigger. He typically achieves this by killing bad guys with his kicks, throws, guns, or explosives. It is worth noting that having good agility helps because it improves your ability to get into and out of trouble (fast) – a real tactical advantage. The arsenal of weapons doesn’t go overboard. It focuses on firearms and explosives (two to three different types of pistols, SMGs, assault rifles, sniper rifles, grenades, and rocket launchers) and avoids stock melee weapons (i.e. blades and bludgeons) completely. It does allow you to kick and to throw anything from dead bodies to cars (if you have the muscles). Crackdown’s auto-targeting option is a nifty little feature that helps the player aim without too much fuss. Just point in the general direction, pull the left trigger, and “presto” you’ve locked on to the bad guy. It can be argued that this lower the game’s pure “shooter” qualities but I believe it adds to both the tempo and quality of the game experience. Frequently during the game, you are simultaneously engaging similar batches of four or five bad guys – the auto-targeting moves the battle on quickly (especially as your skills improve)and thus reducing the monotony of repetitious activity. Increasing tempo is one of Crackdown’s strengths. Coupled with your characters growing skills, movement through the game becomes fast and fluid with great horizontal and vertical depth. I did get through the game pretty quickly (over a weekend) but felt very satisfied and also yearning for more. This kind of experience is what interactive entertainment should be.… Expand

GTA meets Spiderman. This is one of the best games on the 360. You get into it far quicker, is more tactical and yet remains quick and explosive through out. Over very quickly though but Co-op and tougher difficulties as well as hidden extras will keep you going for days.

Crackdown is a decent game that is fun and action packed. The trick that the developers used in Crackdown is that the more you play the more fun fighting crime becomes. Your skill improve the more you fight so its encouraged to cause mayhem. That being said its not a very in depth game either. There aren't any buildings you can go in, no story, and there isn't any mini games. Its like mercenaries and ultimate spiderman in one package. Its worth a try!… Expand

Very Very Very Fun game!! It is a wide open game from the get go. I know this might sound shallow but there are no stories and no cut scenes. Just get your car and your guns and go out there and kick some but. Love the 3 different nationalities and how detailed they were with the language and everything. Just so much fun! I just loved being able to jump from one place to another. I never play games twice but this is the type of game that I would gladly start again. I hope there is a sequel.… Expand

This is what GTA4 should have been. The pacing of the game is great and it's easy to get around the city, even on foot. The RPG style elements force you to play the game differently then i normally would which keep the action going. Boss fights however are fairly easy (just knock them down and keep kicking them) and boring. I went out of my way to rate this game better then gta4.

This game is pretty awesome. It's not the most replayable of games but if you take the time and effort you can definitely try some things. people say it's repetitive but they said the same thing about Assassin's Creed. This game is not perfect but if they put some story and more gameplay options in the sequel people will love it more. i won't mind if they keep the round house kick though :)… Expand

I didnt take to this game at first, seeing my mate playing it, it did semm like a cheap GTA concept, with the bad controls and the ever waffling chief of police in your ear- didnt impres me at all.But seeing the Deeper features to the game made me turn my opinion around. With every leap and explosion this game seems to get better and better over time. I now place this in my top ten... and I prefer this to Halo 3 too. But all this is just my opinion.… Expand

There are so many things to like about this game that you could be tempted to give it a 9 or even a 10, but in the end it is held back by a few problems. Before the bad, let's talk about the good. The game is similar in style to Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row, but this time you are a policeman whose sole purpose is eliminating the 21 gangster bosses that rule the city .... Sounds fun ? Well it is, but there is also 2 other factors that make it even more enjoyable; firstly, as you eliminate more and more of the crooks your powers increase, which means you can run faster, jump higher, shoot more accurately and with greater impact, lift heavier objects and throw them further, and drive vehicles faster. Towards the end of the game you will soon be this SUPER cop who can do some pretty amazing things; which you will need to be, because the bosses that you have to eliminate later in the game are much harder to kill. The second factor that makes the game even more enjoyable is that the city that you will explore can not just be explored at ground level, but your ability to jump huge distances will also allow you to go vertical ! The graphics for this game are top notch, the control system is excellent, in particular the lock on shooting system is something that other games of this style could make use of, and the sound effects are fantastic......The bad ? The game is short and lacks variety. In simple terms all 21 boss missions are the same, basically you get shown on your map where the boss is and you head in that direction eliminating all gang members until you reach the boss where you eliminate them (as a side note...you would have thought that as a police officer it would be more important to capture the boss and return him for questioning, but I guess this would make for a boring game !). There are no side missions to do, so after a while it becomes a little tedious doing the same procedure 21 times, although the different types of locations that the bosses are found in does add some interest. The other bad part of the game is the fact that there is no split screen offline co-op mode (although there is online co-op). Being able to play with someone else in the same room on the same TV would have added a new dimension to the game and would have helped make up for the shortness of the single player. Once you have killed all 21 bosses there is not a lot to do apart from regenerate them and do it all over again (although you will do it even faster 2nd time around as your powers will still be maxed out from the 1st time), which for me was just not of interest, although I did spend some time getting some of the fun gamescore achievements that are available. In short, you will enjoy it while it lasts, but it does not last long enough.… Expand

When I first got Crackdown I was just getting it because of the Halo 3 beta, but once I played it I realized that it is probably my favorite game for the 360 since Oblivion!

Don't disregard this because its a 10. No game is perfect. No game. However, to me this is what a game should be, fun. Fun that last's. Grand Theft Auto with superhuman controls, set in the future. What else is there to say? BIG explosions, excellent draw-in distance. You can be at the top of a building and see cars all the way across the entire map. Don't believe me? Then download the demo. Thats it.… Expand

What ever short comings that are found while playing this game can be instantly ignored as it puts together a well rounded experience of fighting, shooting, driving, exploding and most importantly, jumping, around the game's city. There are a few bugs that you'll helplessly run into, such as falling through the ground or targeting a dead body, but you'll be having so much fun they'll hardly have an impact. The real crime here would be not having it in your game collection.… Expand

This game is great fun when I first got it I thought it was alright but when I started leveling up especially on strength and agility it was so much fun bashing people on the head with cars and jumping from building to building collecting orbs. Lets see the PS3 top this game, but we won't .

Personally when I first heard of this game I thought ok another GTA clone except with the Halo 3 beta but I was wrong this game is incredible.

It's truly awesome. The funnest time I've had playing a game maybe ever. The coop feature really puts it over the top, playing the game with another person increases it's fun exponentially. Imagine a game where you're so high on top of a building that you're actually nervous about falling! The level of freedom is astounding and I love the futuristic atmosphere. My only complaint is that it needs more replay value, however it's greatness more than compensates for it's weaknesses.… Expand

It was really fun and the rocket launchers and grenades rocked :D i liked the cars once u got to 4 star driving skill and could climb walls and it was fun killing wang and beating the game, I also liked the odd twist at the end after you beat it.

Great game. Nice graphics, loads of fun. It's basically GTA meets Deus Ex. Lots of replay value and lots to do in between missions. I little lacking in the story department, but gameplay is fantastic. Highly recommended.

This game is a mix of GTA3 and Oni anyone that gives this game a low score and claims that the game is short is a moron and has ZERO understanding of free roaming GTA type games. the game is NOT short, just today played it for 2 hours straight and i didint complete a single objective in the game, i just jumped around from rooftops ,shooting random people,blowing stuff up, the game is totally open. thers no story,no stupid cut scenes that FORCED on you, this game is like a very tasty candy bar, you cant just waste it by completing it at once. the only negative thing is that thers no bikes,helicopters or boats in this game.… Expand

I really like this game. I like the freedom. The freedom to car jack anyone to murder citizens and criminals alike, i do like it. Although, it's not all good. Sometimes it's difficult to get to the places you need to be and i found it difficult using the map as well. But all in all, i reccomend this greatly because these are only small problems and easy to live with so i highly reccomend this......… Expand

How many games keeps you coming back after the campaign is finished? Far too few, thankfully Crackdown is one of them. Too many games weigh you down with tutorials and complex story lines these days, Crackdown in good retro fashion gives you a big gun, the ability to jump ludicrous high, and lets you loose in a city to cause mayhem as you see fit. And if thats not enough, the map is littered with collectables (800 in all, 500 Agility Orbs, 300 Hidden Orbs) and easter eggs (rubber duckies). I paid $9NZ for this game, when counting inflation and exchange rate, thats probably about $4US, brand new, still in Shrink Wrap. How the hell can you go wrong?… Expand

this game is basically assasines creed in the future . that being said it suffers from the same problem that game did ... its repetitive and boring . no mission varity just go kill the enimys and bosses . nothing very intresting for guns . the graphics are just ok the idea of finding 100s of orbs to power my charicter up that are scattered all over the city just is NOT appealing . i do not want to play hide and go seek crap. the ability to play in Co-op i thought would improve the game making abit more fun to play with a friend but all it does is make you both bored . its not a horrable game just a very very very mediocore one.… Expand

A really fun game with some very interesting concepts.A cartoon-like sandbox game,Crackdown really delivers.Finding all of the green orbs was the most fun I've had in a game for an age and one of the games selling points.A better story and mission structure would have been much appreciated,though that doesn't take any fun away and it was very enjoyable nonetheless.

Boring and very repetitive. I do enjoy the open world aspect, but that is it. Driving around really is not too fun because the skill is annoying to upgrade. Every corner there is a group of gang members to shoot at you, and then you find out that there are like twenty more on the rooftops, all of which of rockets that always get you. GTA puts this game to shame. Worst Open World game I have ever played.… Expand

My favourite game on the Xbox 360. Love the graphics, the setting, the gameplay, and all the fun stuff you can do. You are a cyborg supercop with free rein of a futuristic city in which you can climb over pretty much everything whilst killing gangstas. Plus you can play it through in a weekend if you want to, and in full co-op. What's not to like?
