From the preview: "As is the norm with pre-release builds, the gameplay wasn't perfect, so this won't be an extensive review, but even with these glitches and flaws, I came away with a clear opinion that Crackdown raises the bar for "open-world" or "sandbox" action/adventure games to follow. It's not a genre-defining game, as Grand Theft Auto III was, but it does take the premise and moves it forward with a bunch of nice, new features.
Crackdown offers a tried-and-true premise as its foundation: You're a scientifically enhanced crimefighter who's let loose to clean up Pacific City of its gangs by nearly any means possible. You have your normal cache of weaponry, from handguns to shotguns to high-power rifles to a rocket-powered grenade launcher. As the gangs get more challenging to beat, you'll also be adding new gear with which to suppress this urban warfare."

Still one of my all time favorite games. It hurt to see what happened to Crackdown 3 😔
Gamerheadquarters; "With the jump in power from the Xbox Series X all Xbox 360 and Original Xbox titles that are backwards compatible should be enhanced as soon as they’re available."
They’ve been working the past few years and have become proficient in that department so I definitely think they are capable of such a feat. Their BC through emulation that can natively upscale blows my mind and gives them an advantage over competitors using multiple hardware settings which requires higher clock speeds and produces more heat.
I caught Chaos Theory on sale and was actually blown away by how it scaled on the One X.
I imagine that they'll carry over the functionality of the X regarding playing previous gen games to the series X.
They better have good support for backwards compatibly.... Since they have no 1st pay games LMAO 😂
“compatibly”, “1st pat games”: Are those supposed to be “compatibility” and “first party games”? Doesn’t really come across as an adult. No disrespect, legit question: is English not your first language?
And xbox one games, there are many underperformed 3rd party games that needs frames boost.
Crackdown is a series of sandbox-style action adventure video games published by Xbox Game Studios. Retro Respawn looks at the first title.
This one is a must buy for me
Co-op is what I'm looking for. Xbox Live KiKC's @ss.
I passed on Saints Row - young kids in the house etc, but in this game, you are the good guy.
Been keeping my fingers crossed that it would be good...
I definitely want Crackdown. Hope it plays as good as it looks.
It's kind of funny but the way the characters leap buildings and have the strength to throw cars, it kind of reminds me of The Incredible Hulk game.
