New Crackdown Screens

I haven't played it yet but the combat looks way more fun and easier to control then I remember any of the GTA games being.

 

great game IMO with huge draw distance, tons of enemies, quality effects and fun gameplay.... sleeper hit here.

 

Any word on the multiplayer yet?? I know someone had to of checked it out?? scooby?? Where you at?

 

I am suffering through the same. I took your 'today' as today, and not as 'this evening when I get home from work, when I can play at the same time as AntShaw when he gets off work.'

So, which of you blokes are home and not working. Details. Details?

 

I get home from work in an hour. But my wife probably wont let me play tonight .

 

I agree it will be fun, but I think this game will be anything but a "sleeper". It comes with the Halo3 Beta after all!

 

Robert, I remember yelling NOOOOOOO ! when the demo ended

 

Not quite my type of game, but still very fun.

Playing coop was impressive, no obvious lag at all. And still the same general crazyness.
It's impressive you can both go to complete different ends of the map at once, I was trying to climb the ferris wheel while my friend was out taking down gang leaders.

At one point, we both got to the top of a rather large building, which had a gang leader at the top. We both rushed him, and I went to kick... And managed to kick my friend off the building he died

I guess I'm disappointed in one way, it's all so perfectly comic book super hero secret agent, yet there is no super villain rampaging and devastating the city... And no real story I guess. Ohh well, it does what it does, and does it bloody well.

And seeing real life Ads in the game does kinda look silly. I saw at least one ad for the dodge car brand.

 

yes but only Pre-ordered versions of the game so after release it will in general, not be included AFAIK.

So I still think this one will sneak up on those that didn't see it on marketplace or read about it online. But yea... the Halo 3 Marketing tie in is pure genius.

 

I forgot about the Halo 3 beta.

I bet this game sells 1 mil copies in 6 weeks.

 

A Microsoft representative confirmed to IGN that every copy of the initial run of Crackdown includes an invite to the Halo 3 beta. If you want in on the beta (and didn't earn an invite by other means), purchase a copy of Crackdown on February 20 and you'll be set. You can even purchase a copy on February 21 or even March 15 and still be in the clear.

well here you go then


Dave Jones interview


this game is unbelievable, I love everything about it. It's fast, the frame rate rules, lighting is amazing and the amount of carnage and physics happening on screen at once is brilliant!

 

I really hope this game gets the attention it deserves. After playing the demo to death, this is one of those rare games that is so simple and addicting, but somehow deep and complex at the same time. IMHO, this is the best game on the 360 to date, and would recommend to anyone to at least give it a try.

 

This game will absolutely get the attention it deserves. Even without the Halo 3 beta included I think it would of received adequate attention. But, that beta is the Ace in the hole. Especially since every copy gets it.

 

that interview deserves a blurb...

 

Agree with the last few posts, it's possibly the funnest 360 game I've played but I thought it was just simple GTA crap in the first ten minutes. In graphics, it's not a game that will impress you with it's screenshots (although I love the art style) but when you're flying across from rooftop-to-rooftop across the city to your target there is no other game that pulls off the same feeling.

Plus, the multiplayer co-op is AWESOME.

The shooting and the stat-building parts of the game just go together really well.

It's worth mentioning in the demo the rate at which you level up is increased so you could level up some skills all the way if you wanted to see what it looks like (driving for example).

 

Sounds like 3D Mario.
