Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Crackdown pushes the action-driving hybrid genre into the next generation with the first ever truly 3-D playground. Gamers will enforce justice by any means necessary in Pacific City, a crime-ridden urban center built to encourage the exploration of the full width, depth and height of the city. Coupled with highly innovative co-op gameplay--a genre first--and an interactive world where nearly anything can be used as a weapon, gamers will be able to create a volatile cocktail of judicial oppression as they clean up the streets.

Features:

  • Brilliant experience from a legendary game designer. From Dave Jones, the creative mastermind behind Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings, comes Crackdown an explosive masterpiece set to define open-world, free-form next-generation gaming.
  • True next-generation visuals. Harnessing the power of Xbox 360, Crackdown players enforce justice against the backdrop of a crime-ridden metropolis that is massive in scale, monstrous in scope and meticulous in detail. The unique presentation style employs a highly stylized rendering technique that turns the game into a living graphical novel.
  • Cooperative gameplay for double the mayhem. From the game's initial concept to final design, Real Time Worlds focused on delivering dynamic, engaging cooperative gameplay for double the carnage, action and intensity.
  • 3-D free-form gameplay. For the first time ever, an urban playground has been created to encourage players to explore and exploit the full width, depth and height of a city. Players wage war on the crime syndicates by taking part in high-octane chases on foot and on wheels while using any appropriate route along, around, across, over, under or through the environment. Freedom abounds because it is up to the player to determine how best to complete the nonlinear objectives in a myriad of wild and creative ways.
  • Over-the-top action. All strategies and tactics are acceptable, provided players reclaim the streets by unleashing the awesome abilities inside each agent. As players develop and hone their gameplay skills, their agent's genetic tendencies will increase, allowing players to realize their agent's full potential. Players will be able to run at dazzling speeds, take death-defying leaps, handle the most incredible weapons, perform impossible vehicular maneuvers, move massive objects and deliver bone-crushing blows.
  • Music as environment. More than 100 licensed tracks, spanning a wide range of styles and genres, give audio identities to characters and locations in Crackdown. The music coupled with a next-generation use of 5.1 surround sound will let gamers know just from the music and sound effects they hear which crime syndicate is headed their way.
  • The environment as a weapon. Is a character low on ammo? No problem. Thanks to an amazing amount of props and a deep physics system, players can use whatever they can get their hands on as weapons trash cans, vehicles, even people to clean the streets of crime. In Crackdown the effects of the players' actions stay in place much longer than in other open-environment titles, giving gamers a far greater range of options when setting the scene for mass destruction. If players gather vehicles to create a barricade, they will be there when the they return with more. Gamers can create an arrangement of explosives and come back later to set the explosion. Crackdown remembers, and reacts, to the players' actions within the game world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Ideal post pub-game, 28 May 2007
    By Second from the left (London, England) - See all my reviews
    Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
    As a one liner intro to this review: this is a good game that I would recommend to any recreational gamer (if you are the type who plays a game 24/7 for 3 weeks and then says 'there is nothing to this game' then it's not for you).

    Yes, it lacks a 'real' story line to follow through in the manner the likes of Gears of war/Lost Planet do, but then this is in a different genre. What it does give you is the ability to 'mess around' that a lot of the other X360 games just don't. I must admit I spent hours just driving/running around doing tricks and stuff completely ignoring the plot just to see what the game can do - and it certainly does not disappoint.

    For me this is the greatest thing about this game, you can turn it on for 5 minutes or for 5 hours and you can get something out of it without worrying about 'getting stuck' and walking away - it all depends on what you are looking for. Similarly it's 'mess around' factor makes it a good social game if you have a few mates back post pub, in the same way GTA did on the PS2.

    Just to quickly address some other reviews - I have had this game for about 2 months, and whilst I don't play on it continuously, it is still something I go back to and enjoy. I leant it to my brother for a week and he has now gone out and bought it. Similarly I found the targeting and controls absolutely fine.

    Buy if:

    - You like to mess around and not follow a restrictive story line
    - You like GTA series but want a superman/batman angle on it (or can't be bothered to wait for new release)
    - Aren't too bothered about ultra-realism, the graphics are supposed to be kind of cartoony/marvel I guess

    Don't buy if:

    - You are going to spend 8 hours a day playing (you'll prob get bored due to the next point)
    - You want a major story to get involved in
    - You expect this to be a 'proper' shooter, this is NOTHING like Gears of war etc.
    - You have a girlfriend who says things like 'this is a bit silly, its not very realistic'

    If you aren't sure then rent/borrow first.You'll know within a few hours whether you like the format or not.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very good game, next gen, 6 Jun 2007
    By Owen A. Manby "illogicology" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
    Crackdown is a very clever, original game and one of a few recent releases showing the gamer what next gen really means.
    The basic concept involves playing a tough cop keeping a city undercontrol. The difference is that you're equipped with superpowers to help you with the job. This was the game Superman Returns should have been, it's also gritty and utterly entertaining. The graphics are beautiful and the game is entirely captivating, worth playing for anyone with a 360.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, 1 Mar 2007
    By J. Marsden - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
    This is an amazing game, i bought it the day after it came out after reading the review in Official Xbox magazine and playing the game on Xbox live. At first it didnt blow me away, but as i played on and my skills like agility improved, i couldn't stop playing the thing!
    When you upgrade the level, You can jump higher, bridging those rooftop gaps that you couldn't reach before, there is a true feeling of skill when you land an amazing height and an amazing distance!!! the handling of the cars is an important factor of the game and they have done it brilliantly, as it is such a big place, and after your skill increases the cars become outstandingly fast and look great

    The downside is that the missions aren't varied enough to games like GTA.
    I've only just got a xbox and its by far the best ive seen. Superb gameplay!!! You have to buy this!!!!!!!!!
