This game is shit

There's nothing redeeming in this at all, except as an example of how much money-grubbing devs will reuse assets to make a dime. The zombie aspect was half-baked and adds nothing to the game but tediu… Read more

A Disappointing re-hash of a familiar formula

Back in early 2007, the original Crackdown was a game that would've quietly slipped under the radar if it were not for the fact that it was the carrier for the much anticipated Halo 3 Beta. Little att… Read more

An example of lazy, uninspired game design.

The Short Pros - Same fundamental addicting orb-grabbing as Crackdown - Four player co-op leads to some total madness - Add zombies. That's cool, I guess. - Essentially does all the same things Crackd… Read more

Alright, Agent...

The fact is, I barely played this game. I only have done about an hour and a half of "gameplay." I played the demo given a week prior to the game's release, and got really excited because it was just… Read more

Crackdown 1.2

A video game sequel should improve on the original product by learning from the problems that were identified with the first game. I’m not quite sure what happened with the creation of Ruffian, a comp… Read more

Crackdown 2 Review

My friend paid $128.38 to play the standard edition of Halo 3 back in 2007. Remember the Halo 3 beta? Remember how you received access to this beta? You had to buy Crackdown for a full retail price of… Read more

Hey, a new Crackdown game! Or not.

Crackdown 1 was a fun game. I borrowed it from a friend and played it after my girlfriend bought my 360 for Mass Effect. I liked that the game got me used to playing the 360 and its controls so that I… Read more

Expansion Pack for a Sequel Price

First off, the Crackdown formula from the original game translates well into this title with little nuances of change. The targeting system that spun me into mini-fits of rage in the last title has no… Read more

Yep, this is Crackdown Too...

Overview Immediately upon loading into this game you're tossed back into the world you remember from the first Crackdown, Pacific City. The city has taken a beating since the last time you were here t… Read more

Why is there less content in the sequel then the original?

I'm really disappointed in this game. WTF Ruffian games? Why does it feel like I'm playing a DLC add-on pack instead of a full blown sequel, huh? This whole game feels more like something they should… Read more

Same City. New Foes. Welcome Back, Agent!

Still Fun, But Bad Game.

The first crackdown game was a big sucess. Its fun and adaptable game play kept people coming back for more, and it maybe the only game ever to make me happy while hunting for items ie, orbs. Once aga… Read more

Collection Heaven

I'm one of the people who love getting all the stars, coins, and in this case, Agility Orbs. Crackdown 2 is essentially a "if it ain't broke" poster child. Those who liked the original game will find… Read more
