Available on the Xbox 360
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000HCQK0A?ie=UTF8 Crackdown is a third-person shooter that places an emphasis on gravity-defying leaps and crazy-big explosions.
You level up key abilities by killing gang members, completing races What is not so rewarding is actually completing tasks. Are there any prizes for cleansing crime from an entire section of city? Nope. Just makes it a dull part of town to patrol around.
Aside from stuttering framerates during fancy explosions, and a target-lock system that prefers passing cars to actual enemies, this game delivers lots of fun: just running around and dishing out justice.




Lizzy Says:
If I had facial hair in real life, I would like the Snidley Whiplash mustache.
I think its awesomeness is self-explanatory.



Clyde Says:
The lack of knives and swords is pretty surprising.
The simplest tactic is to run up and kick people as they have no real ability to block or dodge.
We could really use a crazy guy with a butter knife, charging you yelling, “I'll cut you, man!!”
That would make this game a classic.
