    Bargain Bin Review: Crackdown.

        Wow, what a steal this game was at $10. Crackdown is one of those hidden gems. It was a success, but not big enough of one to warrant a sequel, which is sad because the developers really laid down the ground work for what could have been a super franchise.

        The story: There is none. Your genetically enhanced, please go kill these people. That's the game in a nut shell. It's allot of fun to just rampage through a city, running at high speeds, jumping over traffic, climbing onto rooftops then jumping to the next one. The game nails the feeling of what it would be like to be some bio-enhanced super soldier guy.

        Spread throughout the city are agility orbs which was so addicting for me, every time I saw one I had to start hunting for others. You level up your main skills by using them, driving over bad guys gets you driving kills, blowing stuff up gets you explosive skills and so on. By the end of the game when you've maxed everything out you're going to see the impovements.

        The city itself is fun to run and jump around in but your not going to wanna bother driving it just feels constricting. Your not going to have anytime to notice the citizens or the enemies and their look because you'll be running so fast your just run up to them and one hit kill them then run off somewhere else.

        The game is a DEAL at $10. Though there isn't much lasting appeal to this game $10 will be worth it if you're just looking to dip your feet into the super hero genre of gaming which im sure is going to explode.

      Crackdown(Xbox 360) by death_burnout on July 21, 2008

      Crackdown is one of the very few free-roaming games that takes the sandbox formula and almost re-invents it entirely, fusing multiple types of gameplay together to form a game of one of its kind. Simply put, Crackdown is one of most fun experiences a sandbox game has had to offer in recent history. The one thing that might come surprising about Crackdown is how fast it drops you straight into the game, you have your basic main menu that of course lets you decide what you want to do, but the mai...

      Crackdown(Xbox 360) by homegabomb on July 26, 2008

      Crackdown was released in a time where all open-world genre games were all very similar. It seemed like all of the games were trying to cash in on what the Grand Theft Auto series had created. Luckily for us Crackdown brought something different to the table. Like all other open-world games Crackdown allows the player to explore a city and do whatever they like. But what Crackdown does different is it allows you to develop your characters skills to super-human proportions. Crackdown allows the p...
