God this game is boring. GTA1, the original was even better than this. You drive around...you shoot...you jump. Ooh and it's all cartoony. But that's it. Mind-numbingly repetetive. Will be taking this back for a refund I kid you not.

60 Bucks for a Beta!? AWESOME!!!

I don't know anything about Crackdown, but who cares! We are all buying this cheap looking debacle of a game so we can access Halo 3 beta. Crackdown could be a Fusion Frenzy retread for all any of us care. Really cool that Microsoft is letting us play an unfinished game for only the price of a new complete game. FPS games are the best, and Halo is totally original in that it lets you movce around WAY slower than other FPS games. Also your name is Master Chief on the game which pretty much pwns. The beta rocks btw. Tons of shooting stuff and you can hear other players cuss and get mad. So awesome. I won't be sleeping for at least 4 weeks.

Absolute waste of time and money

So let's see: Microsoft has decided to bolster sales of Crackdown, its pathetic "Grand Theft Auto" rip-off, by letting anyone foolish enough to buy it on the "Halo 3" beta. Sorry, but that stinks. This game is absolutely horrible, and completely unfun, unless of course the idea of running down pedestrians in various types of vehicles still appeals to you a decade after GTA. This game isn't worth $19.99, let alone $59.99. Shame on Microsoft for this, and shame on me for falling for it.

Way overrated, does not live up to the hype

I was hearing how incredible this game was, how it's way better than saint's row or grand theft auto. So, I borrowed the game from my work and I decided to play it. Wow, is this game overblown. Only fun the first couple hours and then becomes terribly repeative. Once you max out your guy, what the hell is there to do? Plus, enemies constantly respawn, so most of the time you get shot off of a building and die. I'm at the end of the game right now, fighting the WANG guy and I screamed out in protest. I've beaten Gears of War on Insane diffuclty, but this game is just downright stupid. Plus, there is no storyline, you can get all of the achievements within about a day or two, and the graphics that everyone is raving about is not even on par with better games like Gears of Rainbow Six Vegas. Don't believe the hype, this game isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Gets old fast

The game isn't really that great. There are no characters at all, you're just some super solider brought to life to bring the cities gang problem under control. You have random thugs for each of the three gangs you need to take down, then there are General who provide a certain duty for the gang (cars, weapons, etc) and when you take them down the King Pins are weakened, and these are your main targets. But none of these "characters" really have anything to them. Basically, no story.....

Targeting really blows on this game. You press a button to lock on to a target, but my guy would lock onto a car or a random target far off, instead of the three thugs blowing holes in me. It takes forever to turn around.

I found myself bored with the game after a few hours.

It's okay.

It's a "Grand Theft Auto" type of game. In that it's a fairly open world. It was disappointing that some places I couldn't go in to and I thought I could. Meanwhile, there were plenty of places they created little nooks and crannies just so you never know which one will hide and Orb. You honestly start to feel as if somebody went "click happy" with placing the orbs. It'll take longer to find those last few orbs than it will to find the first half of them. For that reason alone it gets held back.

Also, the 800 points they want you to shell out for the downloadable content, that's $10 if you buy the points straight from Microsoft, is stuff that SHOULD have been included in the game! Then on top of it there are a few new achievements that were added that you HAVE to have the downloadable content to get them! The saving grace about all that though is that if you do co-op with somebody that has that content purchased, then you can use that stuff that would otherwise be locked to you.

If you aren't renting/buying this for the Halo 3 Multiplayer Beta, then you really shouldn't bother with it. It's an insult that they are charging extra for stuff that should have already been included with the game.

Wait until it's $8 a copy, used.

Crackdown is supposed to be sort-of like GTA, but I think it misses by miles. The cars are sort of drivable if you keep driving them, but there's no reason to drive the cars. You accidentally squash too many people and get penalized for it. Your character is literally a 'superman' and can outrun the traffic, and the city isn't really that big, and contains point-to-point teleports from rooftop 'Agency Supply Points' that take you anywhere in the city instantly. You spend most of the time in the game leaping from rooftop to rooftop, like The Tick. Especially if you want to kill 'bad guys' without lots of civilian casualties.

It's one of those designs where everything you do is wimpy unless you keep doing it and doing it. Then you just slaughter the bad-guys that way until you're sick and tired of using that power by the time it does any good, and then you'll want to move on to the next thing, but it's too weak to use and most of the wimpy 'bad guys' you need to work on that skill are used up. There's so little of interest to do in the game that you'll finish it about the same time your guy is all buffed up. The main thing that reliably boosts most of your powerups is how you kill bad-guys. The thing that boosts agility most is running around on rooftops collecting agility bonuses, because the foot races are just too long and too hit-or-miss to bother with. There are car races, but all of them are versus the clock, just like the foot races, and as I said, there's just no reason to use a car.

(SPOILER: The end-game really sucks, too.)

If you want to try it, rent it, or wait until it's $8 a copy, and being given away with random hardware, like 'Brute Force' was.

VISUAL: Generally pretty, no gore.

AUDIO: Very little variety. People say exactly the same dumb things over and over, especially the narrator/announcer, whom you will want to strangle. The music tracks aren't so great, and most of it is in cars, which are unnecessary.

PARENTS: It's all based on slaughtering people, and the English speaking bad guys shout a lot of gratuitous four-letter words for no particular reason, so don't buy it for the kids if you don't want to expose them to 'that sort of game'. This is definitely 'that sort of game'. I'm not against it, I'm just letting you know that it's not for kids.

BONUS: It comes with a Halo3 beta preview download (PvP only), whenever they get around to releasing it. Unfortunately, if Halo2 is any indication of where their quality is going, Halo3 will just be very pretty, but not very fun to play, which is sad, given how great Halo was.

An overpriced Halo 3 Beta patch

This game is just another bad shot at trying to attempt to make a good GTA clone.

Storyline is boring. Not really any story at all. Just stuff that looks like a story to make up for an excuse for all the excess violence.

Graphics felt like they more for the PS2 than the Xbox 360.

Also like another person commented on. Too many Live Marketplace content that should have been included into the game disc. Sorry, Microsoft, but please start shipping us the "WHOLE" game instead of taking stuff out right before release so you got some download content on Live. At least make it free if your going to insist on taking it out of the game disc. Some of us gamers don't appreciate getting nickeled and dimed to death with bogus Live downloads.

Great Game...but Nothing To Do.
