I've heard many different things about Crackdown and I wasn't too impressed by the demo. Is it good or is it $%#@?

It's a decent game, cheap now, so it's worth a buy.

I think it's a good game and would be even better if it was a little longer. The co-op is the best part of the game and upgrading everything will keep you occupied.

Is the game a lot better than the demo? How many hours does it last and how big is the city?

its the same as the demo , with a bit more weapons , ability to fly higher and thats it , the whole game is repetetive as hell , 90% of the storyline fight scenes are the same , even with other gangs ,the storyline itself is decent , the only decent+ thing in this game is the co-op but the game isnt that long , and like i said , u will feel "over and over" again after a while , especially in the first 60% of the game

It's still not worth a buy, some people had fun with it but the game was really crappy and alot of people were suckered into buying it cause of the Halo 3 beta but all you had to do was rent the game and you could still play the beta. Funny thing was that the beta and Halo 3 in general wasn't that great but still alot better then this game.

I wouldn't call Crackdown a great game but it is a very good game. I bought it on a whim and was pleasantly surprised to find my self addicted to it for a few weeks. I would recommend buying it because of its low priceand the quantity of content. Don't believe the haters. God himself could make the ultimate game and there would still be posts like the one above me.

Crackdown is one of my favorite games on the 360. I like to think of it as GTA with superpowers :) At its current price there isn't an excuse not to own it. I bought Crackdown despite the Halo 3 beta :)

sad for me but the reason i bought Crackdown was because i had nothing else to choose from due to scarcity of Xbox 360 games in our province...

but luckily, as i played along, i started enjoying....

i'm a big fan of Spider-Man and... id didn't take long til i fell in love climbing walls and jumping like Spidey...

I liked it. The biggest downside of it is that after you finish it, you probably get bored of it. And it's a bit short. So it's a rent for most people.

its great fun,with the price it is now 2nd hand in uk is near enough £10 for that price your getting so much fun for your money

the only thing id say if ya got a few games the first time ya play it espieally if its on a sdtv it looks kinda mad and ya will take a few goes to get used to it. but once your used to it and took down ur first gang boss memeber theys a good chance ya will of got bitten by the bug and really start to enjoy it.

its a really good game, not really something ya should pay the full £40 for but its definetally worth it for £10-15 what it sells for now. really good game , was one of the first i got with me xbox and its definetally great

sometimes ya will get proper sidetracked from taking the gangs down, coz they loads of power up orbs that give ya better jumping and running skills and once ya climb a buiilding ya will see hundreds of them and easy to get side tracked and end up jumping all over the city collectin them

demos arnt usually good representations of games, ive played canny few and not liked it but then had the full game and loved it.

did ya by any chance play it on the easy difficulty coz its much harder on the 3rd level the hardest. most games are easy on

the easy to be honest.

oh its great on co op over live as well, once ya start playing someone will buzz into ur game and then theys 2 of yas free roam in the city taking on the gangs or just having a crack on

Me too. I just stopped playing it to play through Mass Effect again.

It's a really good game that has a lot of fun stuff to offer. It's true the story isn't very good at all, but the gameplay which is the real focus of the game is great fun. It's awesome just being able to jump 30 feet straight up. I think now more than ever it is a game that deserves to be played.

Crackdown is very addicting at first but once u beat the 3 bosses (which honestly doesnt take much time) then it get pretty boring. climbing buildings and jumping from rooftop to rooftop to collect the orbs is pretty addicting also but like i said it can get boring quik.

after that the game doesnt offer much more... by the timeu beat all the bosses and collect most of the orbs and get most of the achvments the game doesnt offer any replay value so its ur choice.

its a good game that i think everyone should try but i'm warning u it will get boring and eventually u'll stop playin it.
