Saints Row is also a rip off. But that didn't stop the game from being a great game. Your point fails.

No... not really. You can jump high and throw stuff, but then there is all the other non-hulky things you can do.

Hum, so the similarities: - Jumping high. - Being strong. - 3rd person. Differences: - Guns. - Driving. - Mission structure. - Online co-op. - Targeting. - Etc. Crackdown is a great game, but hardly a 'blatant' Hulk knock-off.

 Im sorry but if you've played the Hulk game you know exactly what I am talking about. Throwing around cars and objects, busting up buildings and jumping extremely high distances, leveling up and the such. I'm not saying its a bad game, but I just don't undersand why it is being touted as underrated. It isn't underrated. It's Hulk without the license.

I hope you're joking. Repetitive, a little. Under-polished, you could say so. Lack of depth, most definitely; however, Crackdown is the furthest thing from boring.

I guess you got a point there. But IMO I couldn't shake the feeling I've played this game before and then it came to me instantly. I'm playing Hulk with cops. But I guess you're right.

Just because you or anyone else has fun with something, doesn't mean I have to enjoy it. Personally I hated Crackdown. There is nothing you can do about that.

Differences: - Guns.(also in hulk, missile pack) - Driving(also in hulk, driving the flattened bus). - Mission structure(similar in hulk, open structure, layered bosses etc). - Online co-op. - Targeting(big part of hulk). - Etc.

If you went through Crackdown bored, then you must not have a pulse. This has nothing to due with not liking the game... A boring game is Hotel Dusk, even though you may enjoy, it's still a boring game. Crackdown, and boring shouldn't even be used in the same sentence.

This is a matter of opinion not fact. Crackdown is boring in my opinion, plan and simple.:lol:

Its basically Hulk with guns, and driving, and co-op. How much those three things change the the two titles from each other depends on the beholder.

Just love how 2 things can't be similar without one of them being a ripoff..Here's the thing:

GTA first fully realized sandbox game.

Realtime worlds are some of the people that created GTA.

The Hulk UD is sort of a sandbox game. It would not have been like that if GTA wasn't popular. It came out when everybody had to have an "open world" game...

Now who really ripped off who?

Hulk was on more that XBOX, and for that matter, Spiderman 2 inspired Hulk.

Crackdown isn't orginal, but it will have a beta one day.Â
