Re: Crackdown (360)

I like it a lot. Nothing like throwing a car half way down the road at the bad guys. LOL

Can't wait for the complete title. Love the cartoon/cel shaded look to it.

The cel shading makes it run soooooooooo smooth a la Jet Grind/Set Radio.

The game cost $69.99 here not including tax.

Once you include the 13% sales tax here, the game comes out to $79.09

Didn't know you were in Canada, you guys get screwed on prices.

Played for an hour, and leveled up a good bit. Definately going to be preordering this bad boy this weekend. The graphics are top notch, wasn't sure how I was going to like it, but I was blown away. The draw distance is just crazy.

I'm not going to preorder, but definitely digging the demo after about a half an hour of playing.

How is the only component going to work? Game seemed really easy.

The demo was easy on purpose, you're not going to be able to level up that fast in the retail version.

Re: Crackdown (360)

That's one reason why I might want to hold out. Even though it's a demo, how easy is it to run through the level? I don't know. I'll just see how it goes.

Maxed out my Agility and made it to the top of the Agency Tower. The view is amazing.

Has anybody tried co-op?

this is what I was wondering. I'd like to try it out with somebody just to see what its like.

Re: Crackdown (360)

I thought co-op didn't work on this demo?

Re: Crackdown (360)

Oh, it does have co-op...

IGN --> January 23, 2007 - It's time to Crackdown on crime. Microsoft's hefty (1.3 gig) demo of Crackdown is now available for download on Xbox Live Marketplace for Gold members. The demo features the full city available in the retail release, coming February 20, but comes with a time limit.

In single-player, gamers have one hour to explore Pacific City and quickly power up their character. The upgrade system has been sped-up for the demo, so expect to leap tall buildings within the hour. You can toss cars, shoot crooks and explore the city for 60 minutes. Once your time is up, you can restart the demo, but your skills flatline and you must rebuild your character once again.

In co-op, you and a friend (or handsome stranger), explore Pacific City together. Once you've leveled up your abilities twice, a 30-minute timer begins. It's not clear why the timing rules for the demo differ between single-player and co-op, but either way, you have a decent amount of time to enjoy what Crackdown has to offer.

Silver members can download the Crackdown demo next week. Everyone can play Crackdown without a time limit (and with a ticket into the Halo 3 beta) on February 20.

Re: Crackdown (360)

I saw a handful of people playing the demo on my friends list and noticed that it specifically says what you're doing in Crackdown. One said, "killing helpless innocents".

Re: Crackdown (360)

For those worried about how easy it is, there are 3 lvls of difficulty to choose from.

Re: Crackdown (360)

I'm not a big fan of sandbox type games and really didn't care for the demo (I did like Saints Row though). The story seemed weak, like just a way to get you from point to point. The guns felt nearly all the same. Seems like it could get old fast.

It's on easy by default, and they have the leveling up accelerated for the demo. Before you start the game, you can change the difficulty. Retail won't be this easy, I can promise you that.
