Crackdown isn't a AAA game, but that doesn't mean it's not fun. I bought it mostly for the beta,but once I started playing Crackdown, I couldn't stop. Also, don't sell it just yet, asI heard thatthey are adding a new gang to the city for free.

crackdown is pure greatness. the co-op is so much fun. and it has the best downloadable content to date.

i bought it for Crackdown. The beta was a nice bonus.

I borrowed it from a friend and played 2 games on Beta. Then I left and played Crackdown for the remaining 4 days that I could've played Beta. It's a worthy game.

Seriously, you need to try the game before you make such statement. The game is excellent and a lot of fun, Halo 3 beta was merely a bonus that they didn't need to add, to make this game great.

I played Crackdown at a friends house and it was actually pretty good. He didn't even know Crackdown came with Halo 3 Beta because he bought Crackdown for Crackdown.

this thread is like, 4 months late. we all get it, a large majority of the gaming population dont like crackdown, but like halo. we dont need a million threads about it. there are some of us who like the game. I personally played the beta once to see what the fuss was about.I dont like halo mulitplayer (omg!!!)....

Initially I was gonna get crackdown for the beta, then I tried the demo and picked it up and I ran through it in about 2 days, I was addicted.....still trying to find those darn orbs. But Halo 3 Beta was fantastic as well, pretty much a 2-4-1 deal!

Calling it that would be stupid because the beta wasnt there for long and when it was gone calling it the halo 3 beta would just be n00by

I bought Crackdown for Crackdown, as many people did in this thread. I didn't even play the beta that much. Something about only 3 maps and none of the ranking counting made me not care about it.

In general, one person shouldn't try to speak for all. It doesn't work like that. If you didn't like the game, that's one thing. Personally, I enjoyed the hell out of it and didn't even touch the beta code. For me, it was "Crackdown with bonus key I never planned on using."

Yeah, you basically nailed it.  Me too.  I love Halo, but I didn't want to play an unfinished, weapons-and-vehicles-missing Halo 3, especially not when I can't even make a custom game and avoid matchmaking.

No. Have you ever played Crackdown? I think I will enjoy Crackdown more than Halo 3. Because the Halo 3 Beta is almost the same as Halo 2.

Maybe. I only played the demo, and while it was fun, I think Halo 3 beta did help boost its sales.

i have heard this joke so many times it makes me want to cry. its as old as the game itself. ive literally heard it like 20 times, and everyone seems to think theyre the one who made it up and theyre a genius. i thought we would never have to hear it again now that the halo 2.5 beta is over but i guess i was wrong. crackdown was a good game and if you dont like it write a review or stfu. you dont need to make a thread about it.

i must say i rented crackdown before the beta and was thrilled with the game. really reALLY FUN. the agility orb fever caught on to me. and that was such a shocking twist at the end. i nvr got a chance to play the DLC but boy i hear it's awesome. you're like god now i believe.

I bought Crackdown for the game itself, and then I tried the Beta and was horrified at how bad it was.

Seriously the game is better then just about 98% of games on Ps3, you should try it. Plus there was a lot more sales of Crackdown then Halo 3 Beta Players. So people did buy Crackdown for Crackdown.

I bought Crackdown for Crackdown. The Halo 3 beta was a useless waste of disk space. I played the beta and after the first match started, it reminded me of just how boring Halo 2 was.

So, I put the beta down after a few boring matches and returned to Crackdown.

By the way, Crackdown is one of my favorite games of all time because of how fun it was to have a game that hap basic platforming elements that are missing from platformers.
