So can we all agree that Crackdown was way under rated?

All I hear around the forums about how much fun this game is.  I picked it up because I really needed a new 360 game.  I have found myself playing it for hours.  I haven't even leveled up all that much.  What I like about the game is its pick up and play value.  The comic look of the graphics is kind of cool too.  Makes it seem more of a phantasy game where anything is possible, unlike GTA and Saints Row which go for realizm.

In gameinformer they rated it a 8.5.  Which I think is around more of what the game deserves.  And guess who under rated this game at gamespot.  The same guy who under rated another certain beloved game for the Wii.  Do you see a pattern here?  Gamespots ratings are starting to become unreliable is some cases IMO.  You need to check other reviews to get a good idea of what the game should get.

The score should have been lower IMO.

I'm sorry but I'm enjoying Crackdown too much to really care that it flopped on GS.

I'd like to also say that even though some lemmings are whining about this at least when they get upset about a score they don't spam the boards or post suicide threads as I've seen cows and sheep do.

Nevertheless, it's still whining. quit.

Yeah, I agree. Should have gotten about an 8.5 IMO.Laughlin_12

Well is has a 85% score on gameranking.com. My score was pretty close to that, so I think overall the reviewers got it right. I don't care what Gamestop gave it. I don't rely on one review for my decision on if a game is worth it or not. No smart gamer would do that anyway.

You mean that extra disc that came with the Halo 3 beta? I just tossed that aside. finishthisfirst

Sure, once all the lemmings and cows agree to collectively acknowledge that Zelda: TP was even more drastically underrated.
