Cool, quasi-cel-shaded art style; tons of character progression; a satisfyingly vast array of explosives.
Weird selection of music tracks when driving; limited multiplayer longevity; single-player gets repetitive.
Last October, I got a special sneak peek at Crackdown (touted as the newest sandbox shooter from developer Dave Jones Realtime Worlds), but was not terribly impressed. From what I played at the hands-on event, all the elements were in place, but the t...
Abstract: Crackdown on the surface already looks a very appetising piece; it certainly has the looks with beautiful artwork, perfectly complimenting the action. Everything comes with that extra thick black border around it, while still no where near as obviousl...
You can fly (almost), You can pick up cars and throw them at people, Online coop is fun, Climbing skyscrapers is fun, If you can see it, and jump high enough, you can go there (no artificial boundaries), FX sound is great with 5.1 surround, Graphics are i...
No futuristic super weapons, Driving is not really all that fun in this one, Camera angles were a little wonky close up, No deathmatch mode, Ending scene is a little bit silly (no closure), The Ugly, General lack of music soundtrack outside of vehicles
From one of the creators of the Grand Theft Auto series comes a free roaming shoot ‘em up with a twist. Will this game be just another GTA clone, or will it add a new dimension to a game genre that is getting a little tired? Lets check it out! The F...
Expertly crafted world; great use of physics; game is rich with "water cooler moments" stemming from emergent gameplay; controls are spot on despite some minor gripes with the target-lock feature; co-op is wicked fun; the world provides almost limitless p...
No real story or characters to speak of; online co-op isnt seamless; game could use some additional mission types
Crackdown isnt perfect, but its damn addictive in a way that not many games are (and its got online co-op). Whether youre scaling skyscrapers to nab those elusive orbs or kicking thugs halfway across town, it never gets old despite its lack of stor...
Abstract: Robocop is a girl. Compared to my walking seven foot mound of destructive justice, he may as well wear a beret and peddle cookies outside the Piggly Wiggly. No perp is safe from the kicking, leaping, shooting and power-sliding force of mostly good that...
Abstract: Remember in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory when Charlie finds the Golden Ticket, and everyones so excited that they forget all about the sweet, sweet candy that the Ticket came with?
Abstract: Well, here we are - a next generation Grand Theft Auto-style game that was actually developed by the creator of GTA, David Jones. The legacy of GTA blew up when GTA III was released for PS2 by offering gamers an almost limitless number of gameplay poss...
Abstract: Yes, if you get Crackdown, then you'll have a very good chance on getting in the Halo 3 beta. But is that the only reason to get this game? Find out what we think after the jump in the latest Destructoid review. Tell us what you think.Dyson I'm going...
Fantastic presentation and gameplay. A killer addition to your 360 library.
A few minor issues that dont detract from the gaming experience. The Final Word Offers a whole lot more than the average GTA rip-off. Highly recommended.
