A slightly different sandbox game.

When I played the demo for Crackdown I thought that this would be a really good game, maybe even worth buying. Instead for me I just ended up renting it and im glad I did. The game doesn’t suck its actually a lot of fun. Running around beating down gang members and leaping from building to building was quiet fun.

However that’s not all the games about. The games about having you basically take out all the generals and the leaders of the three rival gangs. Now for some reason one boss requires a strategy to beating him but for the most part your just running and gunning down all the gang members in your way and eventually taking out the general/leader. You go around the city to find the general/leaders hideout clean up the area of criminal scum rinse and repeat till you’ve killed them all. Depending on your players “skills for kills” you could get though this game pretty quickly. For me the achievements were what kept me playing it. Doing this I manage to get every thing in a week. The music is all right; you’re on foot most of the time anyway. The graphics are a texture mixed cel shading type deal, which gives it a good look. The sounds effects are good too.

Unfortunately this game just felt like an extended demo. The opening, the general info, and the ending could barley even be considered a cut scene. It’s a fun game but im still waiting till the king of sandbox games comes out.
