Yesterday Crackdown was released, when I got home I played this game for 5 hours straight only to stop when I had to use the bathroom. Now it was a gamble for me because I never really got into the GTA series because I wasn't into all of the boring side quest's and other tedious task's that took away from that actual gameplay element's that could have made GTA more fun.
Right off the bat this game is phenomenal, there is non stop destruction and mayhem that is so damn entertaining without the stupid side quests to slow me down, I didn't have to stop somewhere and lift weights or get my hair cut nor did I have to escort people around. When I was reading the reviews for this game, the one that sums it up word for word on how I feel about the game is the review on Gameinformer.com, It was the second opinion by Joe Juba that said it best.
Missions have never been my favorite part of open world games. I’d much rather wail on passers-by than escort some bozo to a nightclub, and Crackdown is finally rewarding me for being so easily distracted. I run over thugs, and my driving improves. I beat chumps to death, and I get stronger. This sense of progression is what gives Crackdown its unique identity; everything you do has a purpose, and no destructive impulse is wasted. Approaching the scattered gang kingpins puts your skills to the test no matter how you develop your character, and the fact that you can play the whole game co-op over Xbox Live only adds to your options. My biggest complaint is that when these elements aren’t all clicking, Crackdown suffers from its lack of structure. A greater selection of side tasks would have helped, as would a setting with more personality. The world may be visually distinctive, but the three gangs are populated solely by ethnic stereotypes, and there’s no biting humor like one might find in GTA. It needs more depth to really make waves, but Crackdown’s massive destruction and over-the-top heroics are perfect for pure entertainment.
YOU MUST BUY THIS GAME!
