Crackdown was a decent game but I personally had issues with certain things that other people I'm sure are fine with. First off, after the update with the 4 extra skins for the agent, the screen for the game reconfigured itself and I could no longer see the readout on the % chance of getting through whatever stronghold I was at. There was no real story and killing all of the targets in the game didn't take long at all. The handling of the cars in the game start off horrible, so bad that it's very hard to work up the driving skill which makes the races rather difficult. Aside from races, the only other way to earn points for your racing skill is to either pull off stunts in a car, or to run over bad guys. Enemy AI can sometimes see through walls and across maps which sucks if you are trying to sneak up on people. Aside from rooftop races, and car races, there isn't much to do after the story aside from collecting orbs, and you had better like collecting orbs too because there are plenty of them to find. I did like to throw cars, and landing on them from about 20 stories up was fun. Leaping from building to building like a superhero was very cool, topped off nicely with comic bookish visuals. This game was not free of invisible walls, and for some reason certain stairs and curbs are difficult of the agent to navigate. Unless you are hardcore and absolutely must have all of the achievements I would have to recommend this as a rent only game.
