Product Features
- This is a used item. If not otherwise mentioned below, spine card is included for titles that originally came with spine cards.
- Brilliant experience from a legendary game designer. From Dave Jones, the creative mastermind behind “Grand Theft Auto” and “Lemmings,” comes “Crackdown,” an explosive masterpiece set to define open-world, free-form next-generation gaming.
- True next-generation visuals. Harnessing the power of Xbox 360, “Crackdown” players enforce justice against the backdrop of a crime-ridden metropolis that is massive in scale, monstrous in scope and meticulous in detail. The unique presentation style employs a highly stylized rendering technique that turns the game into a living graphical novel.
- Cooperative gameplay for double the mayhem. From the game’s initial concept to final design, Real Time Worlds focused on delivering dynamic, engaging cooperative gameplay for double the carnage, action and intensity.
- 3-D free-form gameplay. For the first time ever, an urban playground has been created to encourage players to explore and exploit the full width, depth and height of a city. Players wage war on the crime syndicates by taking part in high-octane chases on foot and on wheels while using any appropriate route along, around, across, over, under or through the environment. Freedom abounds because it is up to the player to determine how best to complete the nonlinear objectives in a myriad of wild and creative ways.
- Over-the-top action. All strategies and tactics are acceptable, provided players reclaim the streets by unleashing the awesome abilities inside each agent. As players develop and hone their gameplay skills, their agent’s genetic tendencies will increase, allowing players to realize their agent’s full potential. Players will be able to run at dazzling speeds, take death-defying leaps, handle the most incredible weapons, perform impossible vehicular maneuvers, move massive objects and deliver bone-crushing blows.
- Music as environment. More than 100 licensed tracks, spanning a wide range of styles and genres, give audio identities to characters and locations in “Crackdown.” The music coupled with a next-generation use of 5.1 surround sound will let gamers know just from the music and sound effects they hear which crime syndicate is headed their way.
- The environment as a weapon. Is a character low on ammo? No problem. Thanks to an amazing amount of props and a deep physics system, players can use whatever they can get their hands on as weapons — trash cans, vehicles, even people — to clean the streets of crime. In “Crackdown,” the effects of the players’ actions stay in place much longer than in other open-environment titles, giving gamers a far greater range of options when setting the scene for mass destruction. If players gather vehicles to create a barricade, they will be there when the they return with more. Gamers can create an arrangement of explosives and come back later to set the explosion. “Crackdown” remembers, and reacts, to the players’ actions within the game world.

Crackdown
Tae Lee, global product manager for Microsoft said recently that \"Crackdown is an action-driving hybrid conceptualised by creator Davod Jones, whom he might be aware was responsible for such franchises such as Grand Theft Auto (GTA).\" When you start Crackdown, the similarity between Jones\' prior and current work immediately become obvious. A living, breathing city to freely explore? Check. A protagonist whose skills get increasingly robust the more you employ them? Check. Cool vehicles to drive? Car-jacking? Police opening fire should you choose to slaughter bystanders? Checkmate.
Tae proceeded to elaborate on how Crackdown takes the \"go anywhere, do anything\" formula of GTA one step further. As a genetically enhanced super-soldier produced by The Agency (think CIA or FBI), you are tasked with freeing the vast reaches of Pacific City from 21 criminal kingpins, the sequence of which is completely up to you. \"Truly free-form,\" said Tae.
The game\'s non-linear approach raised questions about its narrative flow; questions Tae tactfully evaded. In time to come, I would discover Crackdown to be devoid of any compelling storyline the one factor many might argue to be the driving force behind GTA. Drop the GTA expectations, however, and you will find in Crackdown a delightful platform action title, more akin to a modern 3D Mario game.
