So can we all agree that Crackdown was way under rated?

All I hear around the forums about how much fun this game is.  I picked it up because I really needed a new 360 game.  I have found myself playing it for hours.  I haven't even leveled up all that much.  What I like about the game is its pick up and play value.  The comic look of the graphics is kind of cool too.  Makes it seem more of a phantasy game where anything is possible, unlike GTA and Saints Row which go for realizm.

In gameinformer they rated it a 8.5.  Which I think is around more of what the game deserves.  And guess who under rated this game at gamespot.  The same guy who under rated another certain beloved game for the Wii.  Do you see a pattern here?  Gamespots ratings are starting to become unreliable is some cases IMO.  You need to check other reviews to get a good idea of what the game should get.

Virtua Fighter 5 too can join the ranks of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo and Crackdown which were under-rated.

And that right there pretty much sums it up. Jeff is entitled to his score. Lets leave it at that.

I'd like to also say that even though some lemmings are whining about this at least when they get upset about a score they don't spam the boards or post suicide threads as I've seen cows and sheep do.

Nevertheless, it's still whining. quit.

Completely agree. This game was looking pretty cool but seeing the 30-minute demonstration (I think it was on Gaming Age) is what really sold me. It takes a little while to get going, the game really starts when you reach at least level 2 in agility. Controls, graphics, AI, physics and sound are all solid. Sure, they could have utilized the sandbox nature of the game a little better, but what is there is already very fun and satisfying.

After Zelda TP's score I've given up on GS ratings. Crackdown is 8.8 worthy IMO. The Halo 3 Beta is just a bonus (Although I'll admit it was my main reason to get the game at first).

Why don't you just search the freaking Internet and find yourselves a better review?   Freaking deal with it.  To be quite honest, that game has looked like crap since day one (IMO).  This is my opinion, you can not change it.  People have opinions on things, some of those people review games.  The ones without their own opinions whine and gripe about the opinions of others on gaming message boards like this one.  It's quite tedious really.

Well is has a 85% score on gameranking.com. My score was pretty close to that, so I think overall the reviewers got it right. I don't care what Gamestop gave it. I don't rely on one review for my decision on if a game is worth it or not. No smart gamer would do that anyway.

Come on, it got the score it got. No changing that, and we all have to live with certain scores we might not agree with. Don't let reviews run your life. Play the games you like.

gamerankings.com shows crackdown doing almost as well as the cows beloved resistance.  So if crackdown is so aweful, what does that make resistance?

I actually agree.  The game is at least an 8.6.  How did they give it a 7 in value?  I have been playing non-stop for the last few days and I have only eliminated one of the the three gangs.  It's a lot of fun and very addictive. 

Either way, I don't really care what score they gave it just because I'm having so much fun with it.  I really didn't expect a game that was partnered with the beta to be so fun, but it really is a blast.

Well, I've only played the Demo, but the game isn't very deep from what I've seen.  I could very much see the game getting boring rather quickly.

The game deserved 8.3 to 8.7 area, but lay low on Jeff, I think I went over the top when I said he should have been hanged. Sometimes my anger gets the best of me but I am now in anger management.

I personally don't know if I like it or not, I trying to figure that out.. But besides some points like the open-endness, city exploring, and getting into and out of cars. It similiar but both have different themes. Like I said I dunno my views on it quite just yet, even from the Demo I played that I liked and disliked at moments. But I like games like this, I want more exploring and open-worlds games. I enjoyed GTA and Morrowind, I think they need more up to you kind of games.. That makes me think of Bioshock, I am excited for that.

No. The game itself is pretty fun and the superpowers are fun to play around with but the game is 8 or so hours long and every mission is very similar and there's a lack of engaging side missions. The basic gameplay is for the most part, pretty fun and so is the co-op, but it doesn't really seem like a complete game to me.

Sure, once all the lemmings and cows agree to collectively acknowledge that Zelda: TP was even more drastically underrated.
