Pros: cheap,fun, And sweet.

Cons: some bosses are hard.

The Bottom Line: get this, It is nice and cheap, And fun. Why pass it up?

Review: So many people said why should I get this halo 3 is coming out in a couple of months? Well I will tell you why. If you read my review. Plot- 95/100 The plot was this, you are a police officer. And you have to help out a town that is going to ...

Pros: vastly detailed world, unique simulation game, great multiplayer

Cons: dull soundtrack, lack of story, use of racial stereotypes

The Bottom Line: Crackdown provides a new gaming experience that combines the best of simulator games, but is lacking in story and design.

Review: When Crackdown was first announced it received little press by itself, so Microsoft decided to sweeten the deal by including Halo 3 Beta to people who bought Crackdown. From there, many gaming sites reported the Halo 3 Beta on sale with free Crackdown ...

Pros: Puts fun over almost everything else, very unique game design

Cons: Driving many of the cars is clearly inspired from a day in Hell

The Bottom Line: You'll probably be able to find this in the bargain bin real soon once the H3 beta ends and all the Halo nerds sell it off.

Review: More than anything, Crackdown is an example of minimalist game design. Though touted as a superhero version of Grand Theft Auto – no surprise given that the mastermind of Crackdown was the same guy who created GTA – the only thing the two have in ...

Pros: Halo 3. Leveling up is fun. If not laggy, its fun online.

Cons: Missions lack creativity and are boring. Not much to do other than missions.

The Bottom Line: The fun leveling system makes this game just slightly above average. The missions just lack any sort of depth or creativity and get very boring.

Review: So what are some good ways of making a game sell? Dragon Quest 8 included the Final Fantasy 12 demo. Zone of the Enders included the Metal Gear Solid 2 demo. Perhaps including a multiplayer beta for the sequel to the most popular video game of the past ...

Pros: Fun concept, love jumping around and killing things

Cons: Not much else to do, annoying mentor

The Bottom Line: Crackdown is a fun game that lacks variety

Review: Look alive, Agent! The populace of Pacific City is terrorized and they need your help! In Microsoft's Crackdown, you play an unnamed genetically-modified super-agent who has to rid the city of three gangs and their evil warlords. This is a ...

Pros: Exploration, leveling up, just plain fun

Cons: Could use a little more depth

The Bottom Line: Though somewhat short, this is a buy, and shows that you can still have fun being the good guy.

Review: I've been noticing a pattern in the games I've reviewed lately. Most of them have earned four stars, instead of the coveted five. This is indicative of the games we're getting. We're getting games that are consistently really, really good, but they ...

Pros: Great artwork; fun gameplay; leveling system is executed masterfully; when it works, good co-op play.

Cons: Missions are repetitive and lack creativity; story is a jumbled mess; campaign is painfully short.

The Bottom Line: Crackdown is a quality action game that is a blast to play, but contains some flaws, mainly with story structure, a lack of imaginative missions and a brief campaign.

Review: Crackdown is Microsoft's first foray into the world of 'sandbox' gaming, which was popularized by Grand Theft Auto III back in 2001. Since then, many pretenders have challenged the originator. Some completely blew it (True Crime: Streets of L.A.) while ...

Pros: addictive gameplay, lots of exploration, great powerups, fun explosions and fights

Cons: Main mission isn't very long, but so what? Get out there and explore!

The Bottom Line: Crackdown will never be described as a deep game. But it is amazingly addictive and always fun.

Review: The Story of Crackdown is a simple one. You are an unnamed agent in the Pacific City police force. You have undergone DNA manipulation which makes you stronger than a normal man. The gangs of Los Muertos, Volk and Shai-gen are running the city and it’s ...

Pros: Fun game play, a good go anywhere do anything game`

Cons: Lack of any structure and story line

The Bottom Line: If you like GTA but you were a super human then you might enjoy this game. But hurry because the disks with Halo won't last forever!

Review: Microsoft is a very clever little company. Package a fairly good game with a fairly hyped beta (for arguably one of the best gaming series ever) and you have a winning combination. Crackdown comes packaged with a free invite to the Halo 3 multiplayer ...
