Crackdown 7.0 in OXM!!! (sticky please)

It does get VERY boring..

The newest issue of OXM has a review for Crackdown and in it they said that it's main drawback is its lack of side missions. The 21 gang bosses and lieutenants can be beat in about 12 hours. After that, there's not much to do but scrounge for achievement points. "Are you paying 60 bones for Spartan testing time, or is Crackdown actually a worthy game on its own merits? The anser, it turns out, lies somewhere in between."

7.0 is about right. I'm sure Gamespot will give it a 10. Considering they are biased to Microsoft.

Gears of War got a 9.6   http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/gearsofwar/index.html?q=gears%20of%20war

Do you honestly believe that is the best game you have ever played?

It got a higher score than amazing games like Ninja Gaiden!!!

Perfect Dark   http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/perfectdarkzero/index.html?q=Perfect%20Dark

This game is not superb. It does not deserve a 9.0

I'm sorry but this game was complete utter garbage. I bought it then sold it a week later.

Need I say more?

Crackdown is lame, people are paying 60$ for a Halo 3 beta, who is seriously hyped for Crackdown? No one should be atleast...MickeyTheNinja

No...its because it's a stupid game...how can't everyone see that?

EDIT: No one should be playing this game going "Oh was awwwesome! That was sooo cool! Look I just threw a car, sweeet!"

While review scores never affect my buying of a game, I would like to take this moment, as I do often, to point out that OXM is the worst "Official" game magazine ever published, and generally one of the worst gaming magazines of all time. Beyond the wretched layout, terse reviews and laughable "features", ever since Issue 1 hit the newsstands it has continually "reported" inaccurate information and ignored stories that other Xbox mags, particularly the now-defunct XBN, covered thoroughly. Future Publishing does a better job running PSM. The ridiculous "unlock points" since OXM began covering the 360 on the disc is just another indication of how lame the "Official Xbox Magazine" is. Take all of their reviews with a grain of salt. Or better yet, take their reviews and shove them where the sun don't shine.

And to the topic creator, why would GameSpot "sticky" a topic about a lame review from an even lamer magazine? They still haven't done a sticky on the "Post Your Setup" thread which actually has some value (and continued interest after a long period of time).

7.0 is about right. I'm sure Gamespot will give it a 10. Considering they are biased to Microsoft.

Dude I don't give a flying crap what OXM or any magazine gives it. I played the demo 10 time already and it has the sickest co-op ever and the gameplay is just a blast.CPM_basic
