An abosuletely great game and oppurtunity, and it even comes with the full game of Crackdown. Now that's just Badass.

All jokes aside Crackdown is a quality game and concept at its core. It doesn't hurt that the greatest game of all time has a bundled Beta though. Its a good thing that once you conquer Pacific City you can look forward to the Beta. The gameplay is fun and one of a kind. Jumping over buildings like Spiderman never gets old, unless you spend hours upon hours for that last glowing green orb. The achievements are imaginative and fun to experiment with and go after. If you are really driven to find all of the power up orbs it can provide hours upon hours of gameplay. The game also has its fair share of fairly obvious flaws. Strength advances which include the picking up of cars is clunky and impracticle, by the time you have hoisted the 2 ton projectile of certain death you are probably drained of all your health. Not to mention that the vehicle is hardly cvery deadly...by the time it is launched the gangster has already dodged it or moved away. Even if you get him it is a complete waste of time and effort, for one click of the B button is just as lethal and twice as safe. Another flaw that makes the game seem rushed is its lack of power weapons and balance. The rocket launchers are unstoppable and everything else is pretty much ineffective, wheres the mini gun and the flamethrower? Also where is teh depth of vehicles and enemies. Overall the same enemy with different eblems over their head is thrust at you the entire game, just in varying quanities. And unlike GTA when your "wanted level" goes up new levels of enemies are not sent. Just hit squads, which are in fact the same old enemies...just a mad rush of them. Why didn't the miliatary based Volk gang have tanks? Where were the Chinese gang's motorcycle ninjas?...or Helicopters to make life on the rooftops somewhat difficult? How bout some boats with machine gun turrets for Los Muertos..they smuggle drugs right?(The underground cove underneath the final boss in Los Muertos hinted at that) Despite all its flaws Crackdown will provide hours of entertainment...and maybe some of these issues will be addressed in teh Downloadable content.
