Decided to come back just for this occasion, because on Februrary 20th, I need to make a hard decision, and that is whether or not to buy Crackdown. When it was first announced, I had no interest in it what-so-ever, seemed like a GTA wanna-be. But my freind got me addicted to this idea of crackdown, and after playing the demo, I "seem" to like it. Now in saying I "seem" to like it, its fun jumping around shooting gansters, being superhuman. But the missions, well thats another story. It was so bad to my freind in fact that got me addicted was going cold turkey on it, and started to claim it sucks. So, what say you Gearheads? Is this game actually worth buying as it looks so far, or should I just pass the chance and continue to save for Mass Effect, Assassins Creed, and Halo 3?

I liked the demo, (none / 0)

I'm saving for a longboard (skate, not surf) though, so I'm not going to be making any purchases soon. Not that you particularly care about that, I suppose. But if I had cash I would definently buy it when it comes out.

It has a ton of replay value and once all of your stats are maxed your huy is just a beast. Get driving or agility maxed out and then decide whether to buy it. Oh and when you max out driving, try out all 3 ageny cars.

This game's the shit. Search youtube for crackdown and watch some of seemore's explosions.

Crackdown is like crack. I love the demo and can't wait until the 20th. I already paid for the game, I'm just waiting to pick it up on the 20th.
