This game is great you'll love the jumping from building to building and get frustrated by the highest difficulty. But it just seems kind of hollow in the story line so its more about messing around than the actual story.
Driving with less than 3 stars is terrible and annoying.
Targeting system takes a little to get used to(having played the latest GTA games where you can switch between targets without having to aim) you have to aim at your target THEN lock on.
But other than that it was a blast, not realy worth the $60 but it came with the Halo 3 beta so maybe it is worth it :D

This game was obviously created with having a good time in mind. To be so short (all the bosses take something like 12-15 hours to kill unless you try to max out your stats first) and utterly storyless, this game stands out as one of the most fun; most replayable game in recent memory. The cel-shading is mostly well done and only starts to look bad in really close-up camera angles that will probably screw the camera up anyway.
The only real problems I have with this game is that sometimes a boss will inexplicably not be where his map marker says he is and although the criminals' banter is quite funny, they never shut up, even if there is no one around. Also the announcer continues to train you in the basics of playing the game no matter how long you've already been playing.
Minor problems aside I totally recommend this game to anyone who like to play games that offer lots of mindless blowing stuff up.
Better than expected

I will admit that I bought this game for the Halo 3 beta. When I got it, I thought I would give it a shot and I am glad I did. It was a lot of fun and I am still playing it. The bosses are a little easy to beat once you get to them. The agility orbs and hidden orbs are fun to try and find. I have almost found all of them. I wish there was a multiplayer options (other than campaign). For Halo fans, I would recommend this game because the game is fun and of course you will get the Halo 3 beta download code when it comes out.
Great game, no real storyline and short lived

My title pretty much said it all. The game is actually fun but can get dull fast cause beating all the boss shouldn't take more then a couple of sitting. Online is ok but i still think it needs a story plot to make it last longer.
Not better than GTA

This game is fun but it is more like the hulk than any GTA game. Definetly not as long or as good but still a good play
Crackdown and get this one...

Bought it for Halo 3 Beta... Played it for extreme fun. Do yourself a favor and get this one. It's grand theft auto if you were a superhero!

This game is a very fun sandbox game that is lots of fun going through alone or with a friend via XBL. You don the roll of a genetically altered cop tasked with the clean up of the local mob bosses and their clan of goons and super goons. You have a couple basic stats that you level up but killing the hordes of baddies. You get penalized for killing innocent pedestrians and other cops. This game can be finished in about 20 hours, more if you go for the nerdpoints. It is fun enough for me at least to go through a few more times on the different difficulties and play with other people on XBL. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a fun romp through a city running on roof tops and throwing cars.
Huge Potential - Slightly Weak Implementation

This game is tremendous fun. It's basically Grand Theft Auto where you are a genetically engineered "supercop" that must secure the city from the 3 major gangs. As your powers grow, the game gets more and more fun. There are only a few things that I do not like about this game, and they are all minor interface / control issues (cycle through targets,map interface, recover in mid-air from getting knocked off your feet). Co-op over xbox live is easily the best feature about this game. It could have been a bit more seamless, but it certainly works well. Excellent game that I would definitely recommend if you love these sandbox type games. I can't wait for Crackdown 2.
Not the Best Sandbox, But pretty close

Many sandbox and other free-roam games are just considered rip-offs of GTA, with a few exceptions like Mercenaries. This is one of those exceptions. You are given a city in the near future, run by 3 gangs. Your job is to wipe out the gangs by eliminating thier bosses and leaders, but who cares about that? The real fun is exploring and jumping on building-tops. This is one of those games where you can go anywhere you want, destroy anything you want, and DO anything you want. For fans of sandbox (free-roam) games, this will become an instant classic, and even if you aren't, you'll still get your money's worth!
