I currently have both and only have time to play one, which is more worth my time?  I already started Saints Row and it seems pretty fun.

You tell us. You have both games. I've only played the demos, but from what I've seen, Crackdown seems more interesting because of your cool Matrix like abilities.

Crackdown should be getting to me in the mail today, I was thinking of just sending it right back for something less time consuming and getting it again when I have more time.  I just wanted to see how others thought they stacked up against each other.

I'm getting Crackdown this weekend when I get the Elite.  I got Saint's Row and I enjoyed that game.  Saint's Row have more of a story to it, and just a hand full of peole enjoy the multiplayer.

Crackdown because jumping from building to building while blowing things up is alot of fun.

Both are great games. I enjoyed Crackdown a little more than Saint's Row.

I tired both demos, and am currently playing the full game of Crackdown.  I can say that Crackdown is a blast.  I would go with that.  I think there is more to the game than what Saint's Row offers.

I personally think Saints Row is a lot better then Crackdown. Crackdown is not a bad game but it gets old fast imo.

i'd say saints row by a lot.  there just isn't enough to do in crackdown.  i think i played crackdown for 20-30 hours and saints for probably 50-60.  saints is a gta ripoff plain and simple but its a good gta ripoff.  crackdown is like the spiderman games.  i would say hulk games but i didnt play them much. 

 their both decent.

Saint's Row, because there is more to see and do in the city than in Crackdown... even though Crackdown looks a bit better and is fun with all it's superpowers.

I am going to have to say Crackdown, but it doesn't have much replay value.
