Crackdown is one of those games that seems shallow but you realize that the elements of the game that are really featured are done exceptionaly well. Mechanics like verticality and leveling up, and the fun of feeling like a superhuman badass. The nearly complete lack of structure will definatly discourage some from playing but I belive this actualy enhances the replayability. Me and my friends have spent many many hours taking turns recking as much havoc as possible before getting smoked. Gameplay aside, The graphical style of the game is a fantastic mix of cell shaded textures wrapped around 3D polygons and it all looks very sharp considering the scope of the map and zero loading as long as you are alive. The sound effects don't hinder gameplay but I think they could have been beefed up to further draw you into the game. The music.... well it's pretty bad, good thing you will rarely hear it. The point of all this is that what the developers set out to do comes across very well in this sandboxy super cop, gangsta smashin ,car crashin, big bangin and just plain fun game.
