Crackdown succeeds in being great fun. Unfortunately it is also too shallow to keep you entertained for long
Playing as a superhero cop in crackdown has more in common with the Hulk: ultimate destruction than Grand theft auto. This makes it the best game of it's kind on Next gen.
Unfortunately as fun as it si to mess around in the city it soon becomes obvious that there is very little else to do.
All the missions are the same and although there is more freedom in how to approach your trargets than in a GTA, game giving you s bit of tactical choice, ultimately all this lets you choose is the difficulty level of each boss.
There is no variety in the missions at all , this game would have benefited from Spiderman style rescue and transport missions no end.
Driving in the game is also almost completely unnessessary and after you've leveled up a couple of agility levels you'll find that unless you want the driving experience it's far quicker to navigate the tops of buildings and warp between supply points than it is to get in a car.
Now this game is a budget title and can be picked up for very little money it's still well worth a look. but just be prepared to let it slip back in it's DVD case after a couple of days.
