[Game On]Crackdown-LOOK! SOMETHING INTERESTING!

Crackdown. You know, that one game. Cel-shaded, came out on the 360. 3 gangs with 21 bosses you had to take out. Came with the Halo 3 Beta.

I'll let Wiki take over.

Wiki wrote:
Crackdown (titled Riot Act in Japan) is an open world, third-person shooter video game for the Xbox 360 game console. It was released in North America on February 20, 2007, and worldwide by February 23, 2007. Crackdown was developed by Realtime Worlds, and distributed by Microsoft Game Studios. It was conceived by Realtime Worlds' founder, David Jones, who also created Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings.[2]
Set in the fictional Pacific City, the player controls a cybernetically-enhanced Agent, tasked with defeating three crime lords and their organized crime syndicates. The Agent's abilities improve by defeating both crime lords and their supporters, as well as by completing optional activities, such as street races and scavenger hunts. The gameplay is nonlinear: instead of following a rigid mission sequence, players are free to select the approach to completing their missions and activities. The game features a two-player cooperative play mode via Xbox Live.


Things you can do:
Kick people 40 feet.
Smash people with cars.
Shoot your friend. In the face. With a rocket.
Jump really fucking high, and fall really fucking far.
Climb anything! Or almost anything.

Downloadable Content:
There was some downloadable content that came out. Such as
4-Play Pack: Four new agents to dick around with.
Getting Busy Bonus Pack: New Side missions, new guns(Harpoon gun) and vehicles and modes(Like Rocket Tag. Tag your friends. With Rockets.)
Free-For-All pack: Free shit. Came with Keys to the City(Cheat mode. Inf. health, super-super strenght/agility, spawn shit, etc. no achievements, though), impounding vehicles, and uh, well, that's it.

    Epic? What game were you expecting? You're a genetically engineered 'soldier' with powers not unlike Hulk and you can carry weapons that blow shit up.

    If anything, an actual story would've gotten in the way.

    Did you miss the part where you're a genetically engineered 'soldier'? What would make an enemy epic? If they were a reject from Metal Gear Solid? You play as Superman with a gun cleaning up an gang infested city. Crackdown is (was) a $60 excuse to blow shit up. This was definitely one time where the demo really captured what the full game was going to be like.

    I guess. I never actually played it.
    ...I own it though. I got it for cheap and never actually popped it in my 360. I guess I should rectify that, huh?

    If you play the game and clean the city up, you'll realise why that wouldn't be an option. For me, the ending was not a surprise and would suggest a more 'epic' sequel. It does help to pay attention to what little story exists in Crackdown.

    I don't know. Having enemies that were huge would be pretty epic, imagine battling giant robots instead of puny gang members. It just felt as though I'm all powerful and shit, but there's really nothing much to flex my muscles on.

    And honestly, having a reject from MGS wouldn't be half bad if they could put up a fight.

    You know the 911 truth nuts who say the government was behind 911 in order to seize control and take away freedoms under the false guise of 'security'?

    It's basically that, but with gangs. And fun as shit gameplay.

    Now that I think about it, Crackdown was and remains my favorite 360 exclusive, easily.

    Had so much fun with it. And it was crack for OCD people. Hundreds of orbs for each category, kickass Achievements, it was so insane.

    I found all Agility Orbs in this game without a guide, which boosted my self esteem. Had to use a guide to find like twenty of the Secret Orbs though.
