Crackdown

Old School Fun

User Rating: 8 | Riot Act X360

By Nonpareil | Review Date: September 29, 2008

When I play Crackdown, it reminds me of a much simpler, more fun time. Video games did not have to be true simulations and they surely were not realistic. Crackdown is a 3rd person shooter that is a run and gun before a take cover and develop a plan kind of game. You will find yourself taking more time jumping 50 feet through the air and firing down at enemies than you will covered behind a cement wall waiting for the enemy to reload.
There are far too many sim shooters out there and this is a great change of pace, it's fast. Crackdown almost penalizes you for staying put too long in one place with enemy patrols and other factors. One of the things this game really accomplishes is that it's fast paced fun, almost no thinking involved, which is not a bad thing. Just kick back, and enjoy the game.
