Cran. Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Interesting thing; Crackdown uses Renderware! I was watching the history channel, and I learnt that the Romans had a simular game engine! I played the demo. Good, but not great. That's what my friend thought on the first play. Now that he's played it again, he thinks it's utterly awesome. Be interesting to see the final game, looks like a winner to me. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/266489-crackdown/page/2/#findComment-4041538 Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatsta Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 This is my dream game, to make it fun you really need to spend more than 15 minutes with it and use your imagination to try different things out. Also when you have 4 star driving get in the agent SUV, go to a wall, drive foward while holding B and see what happens.

There goes one more GTA Clone down the drain ! link: http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/cra...=6165795&page=1 You mean the same Gamespot that gave Zelda: Twilight Princess an 8.8?! The same reviewer? Everybody here stated how they enjoyed the demo, and I'm sure they'll like the full game even more. http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/930144.asp GameRankings, the one that matters, has it pegged at around 85%. Just because it isn't 9 or 10, GOTY material, that means its down the drain? That's the dumbest sh*t I've seen in a long time. It is not a flop in any way, and I'll let you see how quickly the thing flies off store shelves. I tell ya, I had more fun playing the 1 hour demo than I had playing that overrated Gears Of War crap. I sold that game and I don't regret it. I'm still looking forward to Crackdown more than ever.

AlianAnt Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Well, I think Gears is one of the greatest games of all time.... but thats a pointless arguement for another day. Anyways, I got my Game Informer subscription magazine in, and they have a review of crackdown. They gave it an 8.5 and their "Second Opinion" where... they have a second opinion from another reviewer, also gave it an 8.5. Now I'm more pumped than ever!

sainraja Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Deep? Saint's Row was deep?! Are you kidding me? The game was very stale. There were main story missions, with side missions(that weren't even side missions really) tacked on to artificially lengthen the game, and that's all there was! You could purchase new things, and find hidden discs to unlock more music, but that's pretty much all there was to do. That game was as deep as a coffee mug full of water. This game is so innovative and fresh, I consider that deep. Saint's Row didn't do anything new, this game is doing a lot of things new, to expand the open world genre. This game is still a poor effort for a next gen game, but those who care less about games will probably not mind Oh, what a dickish thing to say. So because you state your opinion, that makes it fact? So because you said it was, this game is now a poor effort? Because you said so, anyone who plays this game has lower standards than you? Get over yourself. I can't possibly believe how someone would look at Saints Row, such a shallow re-hashed game(which I own), and then say it's better than Crackdown, which is not re-hashing, which is innovating, which is keeping the open world-genre fresh, and looks so much deeper and bigger than Saint's Row in every way. You seem to like Crackdown better than Saints Row. He seems to like Saints Row better than Crackdown. You are arguing against his opinion vs yours. He stated his opinion about the game just like you have been, what's the problem? If his opinion isn't fact, yours isn't either.

Quadropheniac90 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I think it's better than GTA, Crackdown, and sure, it's obvious it has many of the features GTA has, but that's it. It has many new things, very different gameplay in some areas, very different graphics, and many technical differences. I think "GTA Clone" is a bad name for it, but "Game in the GTA genre" sounds alright I guess. I read in some reviews that the game, though it's very addictive while you are in the main story, but once all bosses are defeated the game gets repetitive fast, I hope it's not that black and white, I'm sure I can make up some things to do.

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 The only thing that this shares with GTA is that its a sand-box in nature game set in a crime ridden cityscape with guns and cars and that's it. The reason these games get tarnished with the GTA brush is because GTA was the first sort of mainstream game to offer a sandbox like game that didn't involve building a city or a sim.

"Oh teh GTA Clone!!11!111!" Bullsh*t, Every damn Free-roaming sandbox game gets classed as a GTA Clone, Crackdown is way more fun than GTA, Sure there are no Cutscenes or any particular story, But the game is Way more fun than any GTA game, When did GTA let you Jump 30 Feet off the ground and over Buildings, Kick over Lorries and basically be a fu*king superhero type Cop.....Who the hell am I kidding?

vint_cool Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 (edited) OK, this game released in my country (India), yest I got it today (the last piece remaining in the store ) , and I have to admit, this game is extremely addictive....the driving and aiming is just avg, but jumping just takes your breath away....been collecting orbs, finised 20 so far and 1 hidden orb and i'm able to jump around 10-15 feet The only drawback, seems to be the lack of a story - the game is all about jump, shoot, kill and rampage ! For ppl, who just want fun out of gaming sessions, this is a must buy ! And I stand corrected, this game is not a gta clone, its just a free-roaming jumper/shooter ! P.S: I didnt get any halo3 beta along with this game, Is that only on selected disks? I think the games released in my place are usually the same as in UK(PAL) ! If someone from UK gets this game, pls post across, if you recd a halo3 beta along with this. Thanks in advance !

Yeah but only a week after the demo is released so no you don't need gold to download the demo but to play co-op online you need it demo or full version. It comes out Thursday here but I've heard some stores are being sneaky and selling some copies early.
