I played last night for 6 straight hours. i haven't done that with a game since Oblivion. I know it's going to be short but I judge a game by it's "Just 10 more minutes" or "Just one more.........". This game is like crack. So what if the missions are kinda lame. There is a LOT of other stuff to do. I recommend this game highly.

Does it play better than the demo? Cause I didnt like how your car could send all the other cars flying without taking damage. Reminded me too much of those Burnout games.

I totally agree with you. I have been online the entire time since I got the game. I just beat it last night through Co-Op Online and i am still enjoying the game. The downloadable skins are great as well.

I had the same experience last night, but only played 5 hours. I would say I was going to quit, but then notice some agility orbs on rooftops across the street. Then I'd jump over there, get them and notice somemore. I think for the last hour I played, I kept saying I needed to quit. I thought about calling in sick to work today just to play, but didn't. :) I have to go to the gym after work, but then it's Crackdown all night.

I love Fifa 07.  How about when you play 10 matches and then promise you'll only play two more?  Then one more...

Yeah its about increasing your skills. The MAIN story of the game is killing gangsters and cleaning up the steets but the things you do in the game are just awesome. Tonight I'll be spending most of my time collecting agility orbs and increasing my explosives skill. Gotta go get that heat seeking rocket launcher!!

What kind of strange vid-addicted culture is Microsoft, Bungie, et al, creating if people are willing to pay $60 for a below-average game just so they can play in some multiplayer test of Halo 3?

In any other industry, that would be a straight marketing ploy for a substandard product.  Buy an awful car with bad gas mileage, ugly looks, no durability, AND GET A FREE VACUUM CLEANER WITH IT!!!

Weird.

Since when was Crackdown a "below average" game?

Crackdown is a great game, putting that aside there are things that bring it down a knotch (short length, not enough side missions of interest)  but i do love the game.  Finding orbs around the world is addicting and fun, though it would be nice if there was a split screen option for you and your friends to play side by side. The Halo beta testing is a great extra to package with the game, i'm a huge halo fan but i would have bought the game without it as well.  My final verdict--- this game is worth buying, beating, and just having fun with for weeks/months to come.

What's weird is how every post in this forum is how much people like this game. I'd put money down that you haven't even played the game. Demo doesn't count either.

OK, I've played the game, and I'll admit I like it.  I've got my criticisms of Crackdown, but because it's fun and addictive, I'm actuallty a fan of it now.

Now I have to say that after having it for a week that the game has lost some of it's appeal. Can't wait to see what they do with the second one.

Yeah I agree but to be honest I think the Halo 3 beta was the main selling point for this game. But that said I'm pretty sure that the people who have purchased it will be glad they did as I believe the game was ingored because of this Halo 3 fact. This is great game and will be getting a lot of my attention.

Its worth it even without the Halo beta.

I played last night for 6 straight hours. i haven't done that with a game since Oblivion. I know it's going to be short but I judge a game by it's "Just 10 more minutes" or "Just one more.........". This game is like crack. So what if the missions are kinda lame. There is a LOT of other stuff to do. I recommend this game highly...

I think it's funny how GS gave it a 7.8 yet it seems everybody likes it...

Tornado Alley Aces here with your 7-day forecast.  Denawayne will start out extremely hot, drop to mild, long-sleeve weather by midweek, then we'll be seeing freezing rain turning into snow by the weekend.

Definite cooling trend.  Hahahahah, D, I can't believe you gave me garbage for saying this game was average!  (Well, OK, below average.) :P

I've finished all but 2 or 3 achievements, and I'll have this bad boy back on Blockbuster's shelf by Sunday.

Some of us either: A) Have jobs B) Have Kids C) Get up off the couch more than a few times a day D) Don't do speed Sounds like none of these appeal to you. Also, it's funny how much time you put into a below average game. Oh wait, it must be for the points. Now who's the loohoohooser?

Has anyone tried the race where you have to jump around the cars on the ferris wheel/big wheel? I tried to do it for about an hour last night and eventually gave up. It's one of the most frustrating experiences of my life.

Great game BTW.

Before playing the demo I was real skeptical of the game, but while playing the time just flew and pretty soon it was the end of the demo. I tried to stick to my "meh" convictions but it's a game that kind of stuck with me, I just bought it tonight and am about ready to pop it in...
