Crackdown by Stephen Cameron January 3, 2007
Since you are the city’s most destructive force Crackdown lets you fight fire with fire in a big way but remember if you get out of hand the local authority will try and curb your unlawful approach and the consequences can end up pretty serious. So like I mentioned earlier taking out innocent civilians is something you might not want to do too often. However if you keep your attention on the bad guys you will have a lot of fun using the ridiculously over the top powers ups that are offered in this game. The game also features a coop multiplayer mode. You will be able to take the fight online with a buddy, and either compete cooperatively, or duke it out for bragging rights. Games have experimented with location specific damage before, but Crackdown’s approach is really one of the first too implemented fairly well. When targeting a small zoom scope appears and you can then toggle areas you wish to target. Very cool feature, just try to lay off the family jewels, even if they are bad guys. Driving is also a lot of fun if you like seriously over the top action. Jumps and rolls are just some of the basic features to perform. Your cars have some crazy unique abilities, such as a massive truck you can use to hammer through other vehicles and a four wheel drive that can go pretty much anywhere and jump vertically using its suspension. Crackdown also has a deep upgrade system so you can customize your agent to suit the play style you like best. As you get better in the game you will be rewarded with skill points and these will lead to skill upgrades, cooler morphing cars and new more powerful weapons. For instance, if an agent is at level 3 and they take a compact sedan, the car will automatically transform according to the player’s level. At level 5 a vehicle turns into a deadly, unforgiving road beast that can knock just about any vehicle clean out of the way. Upgraded vehicles can also perform insane stunts and allow players to reach places any normal vehicle wouldn’t. The increased speed and heavy-duty armor also appears to provide some extra thrills when handling a high-level vehicle. So get ready for some extremely fast and over the top car chases. Let’s talk weapons; the agents’ fists aren’t the only thing that’ll be doing the crushing, stomping (literally) and rifle butting. There is a heavy arsenal of automatic and high-tech weapons for players to use. And like every other aspect of the game, Crackdown’s weapons can also be upgraded to suit the player’s taste in projectile artillery. As for the shooting mechanics...they are more like a refined version of GTA. Players are given more of a focus on the aiming and the ability to pick targets off much easier; even while jumping and running around. Now you may think that Crackdown sounds gory and rather violent, but the game has a fresh unrealistic approach. The cell shaded graphics with loads of bright colors and special effects give the game a real sense of style. The two-player coop seems pretty cool, and it makes an already over-the-top game even crazier and don’t forget the massive cities and deep customization what more can you ask for. This game is defiantly going to be a heavy contender in the New Year; especially if a Halo 3 beta is included as a packaged deal….OH YEAH!!! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
