Product Description

Crackdown pushes the action-driving hybrid genre into the next generation with the first ever truly 3-D playground. Gamers will enforce justice by any means necessary in Pacific City, a crime-ridden urban center built to encourage the exploration of the full width, depth and height of the city. Coupled with highly innovative co-op gameplay -- a genre first -- and an interactive world where nearly anything can be used as a weapon, gamers will be able to create a volatile cocktail of judicial oppression as they clean up the streets. More than 100 licensed tracks, spanning a wide range of styles and genres -- with 5.1 sound

Pacific City is overridden; crime controls the streets. Three powerful gangs have taken the once-great metropolis hostage, and the police have proven powerless in their efforts to regain control. Only the Agency's deploying genetically enhanced agents of justice can provide citizens with some sense of hope. With an open-ended "sandbox" environment, players are free to explore the city and decide on the best tactics for each breathtaking scenario. Brace yourself. Justice is coming to Pacific City. <table align=left width=250 cellpadding=10> <tr> <td><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/CrackdownLogo.jpg" border=1 align=top>

A next-gen visual and gameplay style
Crackdown pushes the action-driving hybrid genre into the next generation with the first ever truly 3-D playground. Gamers will level up their Agent's strength, agility, firearms, explosives, and driving skills while scaling the fully vertical world. Enforce justice by any means necessary in Pacific City, a crime-ridden urban center primed to explode and ready for you to explore. Enter an interactive world where anything can be used as a weapon as you clean up the streets the only way you know how. Your way. Developed by Scotland's Real Time Worlds exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios and the Xbox 360 console, Crackdown is the brainchild of Dave Jones, the creative genius behind many innovative game titles such as Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings.

Harnessing the amazing power of Xbox 360, Crackdown players enforce justice against the backdrop of a crime-ridden metropolis that is massive in scale and meticulous in detail. The game's unique presentation employs a highly stylized rendering technique that turns it into a living, breathing graphical novel. You play the role of an enforcer for the city's "Agency," a law enforcement entity looking to take back neighborhoods and lives from three large crime syndicates. You are part of the new generation of crime fighters- an entirely new breed of genetically superior super-cops, designed to use the enemies' tactics against them.

Multiplayer mayhem
From the initial conception, Crackdown has been built to feature a dynamic and engaging co-op experience for double the action, carnage, and intensity. Never before has a game allowed two players to simultaneously explore and interact with an open-ended game environment. Will you work together to find new ways of detonating your impressive stash of explosives? Or will you race each other to the next batch of collectible ability orbs? The choice is always yours!

An impressive number of weapons and objects are also at your disposal. Low on ammo? Never a problem. Thanks to an amazing amount of props and a deep physics system, you can use whatever you get your hands on as a weapon: Trash cans, vehicles, even people. Set the scene for mass destruction with a game that remembers your actions better than you do. Gather vehicles to assemble barricades, build epic piles of explosives, push it to the limit. Crackdown can take it.

A sandbox full of opportunities
For the first time ever, every inch of an urban playground has been designed for you to explore and exploit. Use any route necessary as you take down the crime syndicates, going under, around, or through the environment however you choose. While previous "sandbox"-style titles have allowed you to merely walk or drive around the environment, Crackdown encourages players to find new routes to and from destinations. Often times, scaling a building or traveling beneath the surface will present new and unexpected challenges to the player- or provide an even more deadly option for the enemy.

Get the job done, no matter what it takes. Any strategy or tactic is acceptable, so long as you re-claim the streets. Unleash the awesome powers of your agent, developing his full genetic potential, becoming faster and stronger, learning bone-crushing moves, using outrageous weapons, and defying certain death at every turn.

Way better than GTA.......2007-06-12

To me this game is better than GTA. Granted i barely have ever played this game but it is amazing. And when you have live an update for the game is avaliable and makes the game a lot better. I like how your guy can jump across streets and you can scale up buildings. This game also has the halo 3 beta demo which is great but the real reason to get this game is because it is a lot of fun.

An overpriced Halo 3 Beta patch.......2007-06-11

This game is just another bad shot at trying to attempt to make a good GTA clone.

Storyline is boring. Not really any story at all. Just stuff that looks like a story to make up for an excuse for all the excess violence.

Graphics felt like they more for the PS2 than the Xbox 360.

Also like another person commented on. Too many Live Marketplace content that should have been included into the game disc. Sorry, Microsoft, but please start shipping us the "WHOLE" game instead of taking stuff out right before release so you got some download content on Live. At least make it free if your going to insist on taking it out of the game disc. Some of us gamers don't appreciate getting nickeled and dimed to death with bogus Live downloads.

Fun, but not worth 60 bones........2007-06-03

Crackdown can be fun, but it is rather shallow. The new downloadable content increases replayability of this game, but I suggest waiting for a price drop. I suggest waiting for a price drop to 30 bucks or less.

Surprisingly Amazing.......2007-05-30

This game is a blast to play. It's the superpowers you get when your skills are built up that make the game very entertaining.

Surprised this wasn't garbage.......2007-05-19

Got this for the Halo beta... and of course WAS surprised and pissed to find out the beta isn't until September, but for 3 weeks. Thanks MS, screwed everyone again. And since H3 is sort of unreal tournament like, and only has 3 maps ot play, I've been playing a lot of Crackdown, and it's pretty good.

Ok, Crackdown. This is sort of a meld of Just Cause and GTA... better driving than JC, not as good natural environment, or crazy stunt action. But the ability to increase skills (jumping height, damage, and strength to Hulk levels) is pretty fun... I'd like to see them make a superhero game like this, where you'd battle mano a mano with other heros, with destructive environments. Very impressive detailed architecture, lighting, and although the city is relatively small, it was done very well. A city on the size of Just Cause's islands, and you'd have months of gameplay. This is can be finished in about a day, 3 sectors, 7 bosses each. My only annoyance was some AI issues... citizens would commit suicide on your vehicles, and the cops would suddenly start hunting you... it was also unclear if the "bad kharma" of killing citizens was wiped clean after restarting, or your skills got frozen after killing too many. Oh, and the limpbody deathroll after being grenaded or rocketed was annoying... you lie prone as you are tagged over and over until death. This could have used Just Cause's environment a bit for the underwater swimming, and some sort of airborn ability would have been nice (blimps, choppers)... but that said, it ranks up with one of the better games I've gotten for the 360.
