Fun combination of GTA and Spiderman style gaming

Crackdown is a very fun game to play. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop, blowing gang members to pieces with rocket launchers, and hurling cars at people is very fun and incredibly satisfying. However, besides game play, there isn't much content/story to the game.

Basically you run around to different locations, clear out some bad guys, and then blow up a sub boss. Kill all the sub bosses and you can take on each factions kingpin. Kill all 21 guys and its game over. There are some nice back stories thrown in but a lack of actual missions or overall substance besides these mini clips leaves the game feeling a bit hollow.

There are some rooftop running and driving mini games to give some side content to the game, but besides these and collecting the 500 agility obs scattered on every rooftop in the game, there is no other variety.

Crackdown is a fun game to rent and divert a weekend to, mindlessly leaping from building to building and wrecking total havoc. A lack of further plot and mission development keeps this game from being a truly must have game.
