Product 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.
Crackdown is developed by Scotland™s Real Time Worlds exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios and the Xbox 360 platform. Real Time Worlds is led by Dave Jones, the creative mastermind behind some of the most innovative and best-selling video games, including the global blockbuster Grand Theft Auto and the legendary hit Lemmings.
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.

Unexpectedly Awesome
 Reviewed by Anonymous from Auckland, NZ on March 25th, 2007
Can't stop playing it, Crackdown is a very very fun game.
You start as a regular cop in a city overwhelmed with crime. Quickly, you start to find new weaponry and secure "supply points" for the Agency (Police).
Gradually, the skills you use improve - driving, agility, shooting, explosives and more. But when they improve - wow, it's like super powers and they only get better. Before you know it you're leaping through an awesomely designed 3D world. No restrictions, you can go anywhere, do anything.
Whether you want to find agility orbs to max out your skill, or hunt for secret entrances to the crime lords' lairs, this game is a blast. I'd played the demo, which I'd give about 3.5 stars and was expecting about 4 stars for the game - but the continuity, the slower pace of advancement, and larger game world that the full version offers makes this 5 stars for me. And I haven't even tried co-op yet ...
How does it compare to GTA? Less storyline or character development, but way faster pace, more exhilirating game world. And you get to be the good guy, with extreme prejudice. When falling off those tall buildings ... the only game I've played that actually makes me feel like I'm falling!
By far the most fun I've had on my 360 so far. (I've enjoyed Dead Rising and Gears of War too.)
