Abstract: Crackdown has been a long time in coming. Lauded almost every time it's mentioned as the game being made by one of the creators of Grand Theft Auto, Crackdown has been talked about almost since the beginning of the Xbox 360's life. With so much hype surro...
Abstract: With other third-person-sandbox style games available like Grand Theft Auto IV, Red Dead Redemption, or Fallout: New Vegas, is there a reason to pick-up an older game like Crackdown (2007)? Although the first Crackdown is a bit dated, the game has its ...
Abstract: Name: Crackdown Genre: Sandbox Platform: Xbox360The term "Grand Theft Auto clone" is one used to describe many games to come out since Grand Theft Auto 3 blew apart the 3rd person shooter genre for the Playstation 2. Some companies have tried to descri...
Abstract: Theres been a lot made of Crackdown prior to its release, and not because of its own strengths but rather because of a certain golden ticket beta invitation that can be found beneath the games instruction manual. Generally speaking, a publisher bun...

Abstract: Crackdown on the surface already looks a very appetising piece; it certainly has the looks with beautiful artwork, perfectly complimenting the action. Everything comes with that extra thick black border around it, while still no where near as obviousl...

No futuristic super weapons, Driving is not really all that fun in this one, Camera angles were a little wonky close up, No deathmatch mode, Ending scene is a little bit silly (no closure), The Ugly, General lack of music soundtrack outside of vehicles
From one of the creators of the Grand Theft Auto series comes a free roaming shoot ‘em up with a twist. Will this game be just another GTA clone, or will it add a new dimension to a game genre that is getting a little tired? Lets check it out! The F...
