There's a reason it's called Crackdown coz collecting all those damn Orbs is like Crack, Gotta catch 'em all!
I love this game. The fact it blends essentially a superhero game with the gritty aesthetic of a GTA title in a sandbox open-world environment makes this an extremely unique experience.
If you're going into this for a deep story or characterizations your not getting that but what you do get is just a fun time. The combat and platforming are extremely fun and addictive and there are plenty of side activities and collectibles to keep you entertained.
In my opinion, this is one of the most underrated games ever and is easily one of my favourites of all time.

Turns out I had a save near the end of this, just had the third gang to finish off. And then it just kind of stops.
Definitely showing its age. Aiming is clunky (though the lock-on largely helps), the physics engine takes over too long, stuff like that. Blowing things up en masse is still good though - the cluster grenade in particular is an excellent weapon - and bounding around looking for the green orbs is great. Looking forward to the third one.
On a side note, this is exactly how backward compatibility should work. Game's released for free, I just download it and after a few seconds all my 360 progress is just there, working. A game save from 11 years ago, just ready to go.

Gameplay: Explosive action
Characters: Explosive racism
Overall: Okay I guess
Okay, I'll actually review Crackdown. It's a neat world to hop around and blow shit up. Leveling up your skills feels pretty satisfying, but the gameplay stays mostly the same from beginning to end. You can get a flow of the monotony, turn on a podcast or something, and sink hours into the campaign. Especially since the game has no music or even interesting atmosphere to speak of.
While it's called "Crackdown" I only "crack up" at how dumb all the stereotypical boss profiles are. "Juan Mendez Escobar is head of cocaine distributions of his failed night club. Hang Wang Wei-Shin is the leader of the Shai-Gen, and knows the secret of underground martial arts." Fucking ridiculous shit lmao

Crackdown è un gioco mediocre, ho davvero poche parole da spenderci, è divertente ma non colpisce sotto nessun aspetto e non è neppure fatto chissà quanto bene, è un gioco semplice e catchy da giocare a cervello spento, mediocrissimo ma la mediocrità non è per forza un male se si entra nel giusto mindset
