Same as the first but not a bad thing.

This game is getting a ton of hate from everyone and I don't quite understand it. The game is completely based on no story and pretty much only collecting stuff. But we all knew that going in, that is how the first game was. I love this game, it's just about some crazy guy that can throw cars and jump skyscrapers. It also is about collecting over 900 orbs for no reason and again I love this monotonous task. It at least adds enough content to the game to give me my monies worth while I go around causing death and destruction. I played the newest Prince of Persia game and loved the gameplay, but I was done with it in like 6 hours with a full 1000/1000. With Crackdown I have played about 5 hours so far and I have completed like 2 missions and only collect 300/900 orbs and leveled up a few stats. I'm not saying this game is great, but at least it is fun and carefree and gives you a heap of stuff for your money. The game will probably rack in at about 30-40 hours and more if you want to go for 1000/1000.

Closing comments: This is the same reason we consumers go see films such as Grown-Ups, The A-Team, and Knight and Day. We want to be able to sit back eat a gallon of popcorn and enjoy the laughs and effects. We do not want to have to focus or think about anything for a few hours. If you want to see Inception or The Dark Knight this isn't the game, go play Mass Effect or Bioshock.
