Never played a 'game' better than Crackdown

People don't know how to define what a game exactly is. People talk about how good the story should be or how good the graphics should be. F**k that! We only care about the gameplay, and Crackdown was made for one reason only....fun! Crackdown is an open-world third-person shooter developed by Realtime Worlds and designed independently by David Jones, the designer of the original GTA and GTA 2. It's not surprising then that Crackdown is, in my opinion, the most satisfying game ever made. Even by 2007 standards, Crackdown's presentation is mediocre. For example, it's not a great looking game. In fact, it's not a good looking game. Also, the music is dull and repetitive, although the voice-over is quite entertaining to listen to every now and then. The menus aren't even anything to shout about. They can be hard to navigate and they all look the same, although the map tells you about all the important stuff to complete. Also, you can't set waypoints, which means you may get lost quite a lot. But ignore all that, it's Crackdown's gameplay that you need to know about. Once you enter the world of Pacific City, you will collect agility orbs to improve your athletic skills to increase your running speed and jumping height. You'll also improve on driving, become stronger by kicking and punching foes, become more accurate with your weapons and chain larger explosions. All these can be improved by killing foes, driving cars, completing agility time trials and many more. Also, Crackdown let's you approach your aims and objectives any way you want without limits. Want to approach supply points stealthily without anyone noticing, do it. Want to kill everyone on your way to the waypoint for entertainment, the choice is yours. This is genuinely something that It's never had so much fun in in my entire life. It's taking me a while to complete the whole game, and there's also a free DLC called "Free-for-all" which let's you unlock cheats to make your experience absolutely insane by having infinite health, infinite ammo, all of the weapons and all of the abilities fully upgraded. This is an even bigger expansion to the amount of fun you're going to be having. Everything about Crackdown's gameplay is incredible. There are problems like the overall presentation and the awkward aiming, but the gameplay is so f**king incredible, you can't refuse to play this game as an Xbox 360 owner.
