Crackdown is a sandbox game, and it was created by one of the minds that brought us Grand Theft Auto. With that in mind, comparisons to Grand Theft Auto are inevitable. However, such a comparison is not fair to either of them. Crackdown puts you in the shoes of a Supercop. You are basically a superhero on the rise. As you play, your powers grow until you are a one man army. I say the game is simple, because its easy to kill gang members, and unless the odds are severely against you (Ala 20 or more to just you) you will have little trouble dispatching waves of gang members, as you are not only super-human, but your health and shields regenerate. This is not a bad thing though, as you really do get a sense of heroism, scaling buildings, destroying gang hide-outs, and throwing cars for hundreds of feet. Collecting agility orbs from rooftops is addicting, as is leveling your Agent up. Its a tad short, but never-the-less, it is great fun, and the leveling up and sheer joy of hopping rooftop to rooftop gives the game longevity. A great purchase, especially with the Halo 3 beta packed in!
