Peculiar shooter with RPG elements. Repetitive but with a strange intrigue.

Ever wanted to be a super bio-engineered cop sent to kill thousands of gang members? Well, it's worth a look to try out this game(yes, the one with the halo 3 beta key). Crackdown takes place in pacific city, a city taken over by major gangs, one containing Shai-Gen's enigmatic Wang. You're ent to basically kill the little bosses to make the larger ones less ridiculously difficult. It's also encouraged to kill the bosses and their gang members as it can bring up your experience, depending on how you kill them.

The gameplay can be reptitive about half the time, dodging the bullets of about 20 spanish guys screaming out randomly at you. The AI is not what you want to play the game for: It's more of a quantity over quality this round. THe graphics are somewhere between the original xbox and the 360. Despite the repetitive nature of killing all these bastards, it's still enjoyable to bring your guy more and more overpowered to the point of superhuman.

The game can take about 15 hours to kill every boss member in the game. It's a good rental, but I'd be a little wary to buy this puppy if you don't want the halo 3 multiplayer beta.
