3.1 - Maybe...

or maybe not. The Japanese did go nuts over GTA: San Andreas, and Gears has been a solid seller in a country not usually known for buying shooter games, so maybe Crackdown will find an audience. Maybe.

Personally, I'm impressed with the game. No, it doesn't reinvent gaming as we know it, and it recycles some very conventional gameplay elements, but it's fun and has a sense of humor, and the open-sandbox environment allows for some entertaining diversions. (7.5/10, if anyone cares)

5 - So why does this game suck?

Would be great if people could at least give a reason. I am at hour 45-50 with this game and I would have to say the reviews have been generally accurate, if not a little low. It does have a learning curve, but what game doesn't. Sometimes when sighting, it's pick targets improperly. The game can be tough when your level is low, especially when the gang members send in hit squads. Very addicting game.

"So why does this game suck? Would be great if people could at least give a reason"

When someone only say "This game sucks", its probably because...

+ This game sucks because I'm too poor to buy it.

+ This game sucks because because I'm a little kid and that jerk from gamestop won't sell it to me.

+ This game sucks because I have no hands so I cannot hold the controller.

+ This game sucks because I bought a Wii and its an Xbox 360 exclusive.

+ This game sucks because I bought a ps3 and its an Xbox 360 exclusive.

+ This game sucks because I bought an Xbox 360 but I accidently dropped it in a bucket full of maple syrup and now it won't play game anymore.

+ This game sucks because I suck at it.

+ This game sucks because I heard TheMART had fun with it and DJ told me to never agree with theMART or he will come to my house and wreck my hello kitty porcelains.

+ This game sucks because I though you guys were talking about Bomberman Act zero.

+ This game sucks because I once had sex with an angry black cop and this game main character kind of remind of him so it fell arkward.

And sometimes the game just really suck, but if the case, you have to justify why.

Btw Crackdown doesn't suck.

10 - Demo Sucks - Full Game Rocks

This is one game you cant go by the demo, I hated the demo for (2) reasons.

First the demo was extremely short, (1)hour for single player (30)mins for Co-op...30mins is nothing for a game as big as GTA. Second reason, in the Demo Co-op mode, the option to invite a friend was disabled! WTF! (yes I'm aware you can set up a game with specific settings, and tell your friend the rule sets) but WHY THE **** MAKE IT SO HARD TO PLAY WITH A FRIEND, WHEN YOUR TRYING TO SELL A GAME, AND YOU DISABLE THE BEST PART OF THE GAME, THAT SEPARATES IT FROM ALL THE OTHER SANDBOX GAMES?!

Anyway I'm glad I didn't cancel my pre-order, because once you spend a few hours with the game, and build your character up to where he is superhumanly strong, the game is extremely fun. But, you wont see that with only an hour/30mins of play time with the demo.

11 - Wolfgang...

That was freaking hilarious! The maple syrup made me laugh forever! I personally like this game. It doesn't make me feel enclosed like the GTA games. In this game, you ARE the law! You can do pretty much whatever you want. I see it continuing in the future. I just don't think GTA's as good as everyone thinks. I prefer Mercenaries...and Mercs 2 will freakin' ROCK!!! Yeah, if i had a 360, this would be sitting next to it...

...I'm just saying...try it guys. It gets a BIT repetitive sometimes, but it's addicting and really brings something new to the sandbox style of gameplay.

Who care's what you think you're a die hard Sony fan You hate MS so much i doubt you own a 360 and if you played the demo it's no way to judge the game, It's like me jumping in a FF thread and saying Final Fantasy sucks, will anybody care when it's widely known I favor Xbox with a passion due to it's arcade style titles.

Great next-gen action with some depth plus being in the sandbox genre even has the Japanese reviewers saying WoW!, like it or not other people don't think it sucks you may not like it but to say it sucks is just moronic.

14 - hehe

I think it is funny that people are saying that this game sucks and giving no reason... the only conclusion is that they are speaking without having played the game. The game is awesome and perhaps it took the halo 3 beta invite to coax people into buying it, but the game will be a success in its own right... The co-op is fantastic and the gameplay is superbly addicting. If you don't like it, i'd love to hear why.. but give a better reason than "the graphics are retarded" because the graphics are actually really well done with some incredible draw distance and depth to the environment. (standing on top of the agency tower is truly awe-inspiring.... the base jump down is even better)

I'll tell you why this game sucks, you run around collecting orbs and the graphics are horrible, the story is lame, the acting sucks and everything is cheezy, it's a knockoff of so many other games and does nothing new, there is no multiplayer mode worth playing and overall it is just cheap and poorly designed

this game blows unlike Halo 3 Beta :)

17 - Crackdown is a truly................................

awesome game, I'd recomend it to ANYONE with an imagination!

Imagine a game that alows more freedom than any GTA iteration, whereby you can concentrate on fully peaking either your agility,strentgh, firearms precision,driving abilities or your explosive skills before actually taking out the bad guys.

The game is sick, I was playing some co-op yesterday, my pal and I managed to stack around 12-14 cars(couldn't find any more) in a pryamid-like formation, then after the count of 3 we let that baby go (rocket launchers), we both got the "car juggler" acheivement(keep a car in the air for 10 seconds), the car at the top was flippin like a "spinning top".

plus getting to the top of the agency building is no mean feat. It takes "guts" and skill to reach the top people (I don't lke heights).

Best game out this year so far- NO DOUBT!!!

I find that most people who slate this game,also slate games like GEARS as well, pretty much because they SUCK at them, and don't have the required skills to handle games like that.

another AAA title for the 360.

18 - Have you played it?

People who say this game's got lame graphics don't know $#!t...Maybe you don't like the celshading approach, but saying it has bad graphics is crazy. Hundreds of objects on screen at once and a draw distance that never ends. Steady, smooth framerate and very crisp textures. Plus an insane physics engine and no load times while playing.

Try climbing the agency hq and take a look at the view from up there, then tell me this game has bad graphics.

23 - This game is good

When you play co-op with your friend or if you are just jumping around rooftops, this game is pure fun. 7.9/10

I am actually happy that Halo 3 beta cam with it or I may never have played it. Even on easy this game gets challenging in the last area. It is a short game, but if you take your time as I am and just kinda do what you want instead of strictly following the story, the game lasts A LOT longer.

not bad scores for a game that "sux" eh sony boys

crackdown is the best open world sandbox game ever created, end of
for the simple fact that there is no story, all the story is of your creation.
games like gta (and they are good games btw) are held back in the "freedom" department because to get from point a to point b in the game you have to follow a story that is pre determined for you. its leading you by the hand through the game
the holy grail of sand box games was to create a living breathing open world, where you can do (almost) anything and not have your limitations set by a storyline and crackdown did just that.

all the b1tching seems to be coming from A sony boys or B people who never played the game.

well done realtime world and microsoft game studios for thaking the risk
we need more games that buck the "trend"

and the graphics are nothing short of stunning,
