I'm sure you all already know that the demo of Crackdown is available no the Martketplace since yesterday. Since I'm still not allowed to use footage from the preview build, I've decided to record some videos from this excellent demo. So I'll let you guys take a look at some coop footage recorded with Snoopers, and the scaling of the Agency building.

Wow what a tall building... you see every area in the game from up there :P

I would've preferred to see you land on the ground in the end... but I guess its okay :)

Wow scaling that tower is awesome.
But i agree with Optimus, going out with a splatter would have been great ;)

I though the Marketplace demo was pretty good. I thought it was just going to be the run of the mill GTA, but it's quite different.

my gamertag vanished and all my data went corrupt and the "asian" on the end of phone told me delete all stuff to fix it, and all that did was make HDD really slow :(

Tell your friend to go into quickmatch instead of custom lobby, and most of the times he'll land in your lobby, otherwise he wont be able to see your room.

I think its incredible that you can still see cars on the street from that high up.

I managed it yesterday first time. Just make sure you are chatting on private chat and have the same game criteria (i.e. language, type of player, etc etc) and then when he/she says the game is up search and you should find it. Worked twice yesterday for me in that way first time....

Hope that helps....Co-op is REALLY fun with a friend...2 people jumpin about like little beans haha...great fun can't wait to play some more today :D

Thankfully I have a really good ability to not overhype games for myself. I'm expecting this to be a nice free-roaming shooter sandbox game I can play online with my friends, nothing more.

I think thats a good approach for all games. No matter what the title is.

Hype is EVIL

what about the old days when there was little internet and the only hype from a game was when you got it off a shelf in the shop and had to wait to get home to play it, nowadays we have about 2 years to hype a game, back then it was like 40 minutes :D

i miss the days of walking in a shop and going "they made a sequal WOW!!!!"

Seems like a good buy. You get Crackdown and Halo 3 multiplayer beta.

This game looks a damn sight better on a decent TV than in screen shots and video on the PC. Hard one to describe, but it just looks fantastic when you really play it in high contrast bright colour goodness.

The sound is messed up on the HD video for Demo coop. Either way, looked like a lot of fun. The draw distance is just the best I've seen, it doesn't get any better than this. I'll try out this demo on the weekend. It has some glitches but none that make that much of a difference.

The only thing I want to in this game is jump and jump. Nothing else!

I'm not getting the impression of a living breathing world, but just a bunch of mindless NPCs to shoot at in a very large city. How is this fun? Maybe it was a very clever thing for Microsoft to include the Halo3 beta to lure gamers to buy a title that they have no interest in.
