2007-02-21 01:42:14 Where's the Crackdown love?

Ok, I just got this game a few hours ago. Ah the fun :D!!!

Anyone else? Where's Jato?!

I beat three of the bosses from the demo area. But if you have played the demo, you probably know what the game is about, so what's changed? What's new?

*Graphics look the same to me, if anything I see a bit more contrast. Framerate has some slight drops when the screen gets really busy, as in the demo.

*Enemies are more aggressive? It seems like it. I didn't change the default difficulty, so I'll have to check what difficulty that is, but it seems to be a sweet spot, enemies throwing lots of 'nades, and something I never saw during the demo.......they throw the explosive barrels at you, lol.

*So I went to one of the other gang's territory and it's crazy! First of all, it was a mistake to do so because with no abilities up they can kill you very quickly. Bullets flying all over the place, grenades exploding and a rocket whizzing right past you.

*So Crackdown is probably the best sandbox game to just mess around because unexpected stuff happens, so something funny that's happened to me so far that's worth pointing out? In the area with all the crates, I went in with a vehicle and since they were kicking my ass I decided to head to the water--a ~30feet jump, I hit the water, then this jeep crashes into the water right behind me........a second of tranquility.......then I hear the sound of truck, and two stupid military vehicles fall in the water, haha, that was funny......I'm not the best story teller, but it was a crazy moment.

Ok, one thing I wish they would've changed is the character introductions and outroductions?

Basically when you are told who to kill and when you kill that person. I wish the "cutscene" playing on that box in the middle were in full screen, but if I'm complaining about that it's all good right?

@Inflatable, that's true, I forgot about that. It's not that bad though, three days.

Whoa this game is crazy fun... I don't know if its the feeling of having the full game or what, but its great.

Also the vehicle handling in the full game feels a lot better than in the demo and the enemys are more aggressive than they were before.

lol i was forced to retreat from an enemie's stronghold THREE TIMES...

The gangs sending their toughest hit squads after me already. This game is really fun its a bit more challenging than the demo.

So far it's great, I agree. I hope the other areas have some great music too.

What Club? The one where you have to kill that guy on the back where there's lots of cars? Close to the water?

If so, WHY? I guess your abilities haven't been upgraded yet? Or is the problem YOUR abilities? lol

i played for about 30 minutes when i got home from the store today (was more busy playing with my new mp3 phone) and i must say i was having a ball...just exploring for agility orbs is fun enough, nevermind actually killing people or accomplishing things

2007-02-21 03:37:37

Lovin it. Just rid the city of Los Muertos. My agent is at level 3. Anyone trying to tackle the Volk, add me to your friends list for some co-op action!

I really like how I went from building to building until I ran into that los muertos lady near the road coming out of the headquarters.

Hopped roofs till I caught her in a nice little 1v1.

My comments on this game/machine been good or bad does not mean i like/hate the machine i am not a fan nor a hater, just i have a opinion and wish to share it.

Awesome game, last night we started playing at 8pm with my best friend, decided to check what time it was around midnight (we thought) ooups, it was already 2am !
I have 3 grenade stars and a grenade launcher, I play on Ruthless but I'm now the one that spares my ennemies life : I want to keep los muertos alive because kill slaughtering them is such fun ; the volks are die hard criminals, eventhough they "offered" my new love, the grenade launcher. I even got a bazooka but I blew myself up whil firing my first rocket. Life is cruel life is never kind. Can't wait for tonight !

The demo was great. And the cars handled extremely well in the demo, especially @ 4 stars in driving. My roommate picked this up today but I wasn't able to grab it (or VF) quite yet. A shame, my buddies will be superheroes by the time I get around to starting it.

2007-02-21 13:53:34

I absolutely love this game, it's a lot of fun. The 4 new free Agent skins are also nice ;)

Ok, been playing. FUN FUN FUN!

Wow, I'm done with Lost Muertos now, I actually feel a little bad or weird at not being shot at at every corner. I miss Los Muertos' vehicles, those are probably the best in the game so far excluding the agency vehicles. Now if I want to get one I have to go to one of their places.

Does anyone know once you beat the game, can you play it again with all your abilities up? I'd love to do that, I'm already looking forward to that :D
