Love this game. Especially the Keys to the City. Non-stop destruction. When you don't feel like a challenge. Great stuff!

As much as I absolutely loved Crackdown when it came out back in the mid-late 2000s, the game has honestly just aged kind of poorly. The graphics aren't great. The controls are decently buggy. The story is simple - "You're supercop/robocop. See those gangsters? Kill em. All of em. Then when their boss gets mad you killed em all, go kill him. Do that 4 times and the big gang guy comes out. Kill him. You win! Oh and also, jump everywhere. Lots of jumping." If that sounds cool to you still, you'll probably go absolutely nuts for this game, but if not, then I wouldn't expect anything different than what I just said.

Pros: - Large, wide open map so you can spend a bunch of time just exploring if you'd like. - Interesting concept and plays a lot like the Spiderman 2 game for original xbox; you not only spend a lot of time exploring the map on the ground, but on top of the buildings as well. - Wide variety of weapons, including proximity charges (which work sort of like land mines) or the harpoon which is fun to use. You can get an achievement for harpooning 4 enemies to one car. - There's enough things to do to keep you busy for a little while and a ton of achievements to unlock if you choose to pursue them. - The game is very fluid and the controls are easy to use. I especially like the ability to lock onto the target by holding the left trigger. Cons: - Shallow storyline. You're a super-cop who's job is to rid the city of crime. The missions only consist of infiltrating gang strongholds and killing the bosses. There's absolutely no variety to it. - Lack of side missions. Other than following the main story of eliminating the gangs, all you can do are driving, agility and gathering races against the clock which can get very tedious. - Lack of transportation options. There's tons of cars to pick from, but no motorcycles, boats, planes, helicopters, etc which would've been cool given how big the map is. - Very little replay value. You can spend a lot of time on killing the gangs, collecting orbs and winning the various types of time trial style races, but once you're done with those, you're pretty much done with the game for good. The only online value added to this game is that you can play coop with a friend; that's it. Overall it's a good, fun game and i'd recommend it. If they add more variety to the main storyline missions in a sequel (things like going undercover, rooting out crooked cops, car chases, etc) then this could be as good or better than the GTA titles.Read full review
This game is pretty short. Let's get that out of the way now. Despite having to defeat 21 crime bosses throughout a gang-ridden city, this does not take long and I beat the game in only about 8 hours of playtime. The good news is that it was a pretty darn fun 8 hours. Your character is an experimental new police officer who evolves quickly, and basically has super powers. As you use different talents, the more you develop. For example, if you use your guns more than anything else, you will aim better sooner, where as if you fight with your bare hands, you will get stronger faster. This is where the fun comes in. As you evolve, you jump higher, run faster, and get much, much stronger. By the time you max out your skills, you are scaling massive buildings, lifting buses over your head, and kicking dumpsters across the busy city streets. Add in a limitless supply of thugs to take out your frustrations on, and you've got some great action. The only down side to this game is the length and the story-telling...or lack there of on both accounts. Once you max out some skills, which doesn't take that long, the bad guys are pretty much no match for you, and taking down all the bosses is fairly simple. The story also falls short, not developing any characters or any story beyond the simple 'go kill bad guys' theme. This doesn't take away from the mindless fun...but it does take away from replay value. I could see them doing multiple endings depending on how you play the game, like alot of other titles are doing these days. All in all, this game is alot of fun, albeit a bit shallow in content. If you can get it for less than $20, I say go for it.Read full review
the fun thing about crackdown is the fact that you are the good guys in this game of kill or be killed justice! your kinda like a super cop with super abbilities that you can upgrade from kills or collecting orbs around the city. abilities such as STRENGTH: lift increasingly heavyer objects from bricks to cars! AGILITY: allows you to run faster and jump higher, higher than buildings! DRIVING: increases controll and speed of cars, also transforms them into amazing diffrent looks as your skill increases! EXPLOSIVES: one of my favorites! increasing this skill increases the blast power and radius of the explosions from your granades, rockets, and other things that go boom! and last comes SHOOTING: the higher your shooting skill becomes, the faster your aim focouses and increases the power of your bullets! in all this game is frikin' awesome and the quests are great! keeps you playing for hours!Read full review
