crackdown is better than infamous and prototype combined

it's so supurb,top notch game design

no way infamous proto cities,design and brilliance simply cannot be compared to the king crackdown

the city design in crackdown is terrific,second to none,Im not talking about graphics(they r good),no the city itself,how it makes for a golden game experience

crackdown have the best gameplay,design,production values than than them

the jump physics,platforming,large buildings,adventures and deep complex places in crackdown make one of the best games in this generation,it's so underrated and overlooked

i agree completely (although I did really enjoy prototype hehe) but yeah I was actually one of the ones who purchased Crackdown for the game and not for the Halo 3 MP beta as i had played the Crackdown demo and thought it was amazing. and if anyone thinks i am taking the p!ss then look at my xbox 360 profile and go look at crackdown i have spent alot of time playing it :D the only annoying thing is i was kinda close getting most of the green orbs and then my game save got corrupted =(

"its no infamous but at least this gamw wont be over hyped"

that's right! it's seems far from being Infamous and thank god for that. Infamous was very average. Does anybody still play this game? If Crackdown had infamous beat, Crackdown 2 will destroy it.

Nobody wants a game to be as over hyped like Killzone 2 was. Look how that turned out. Are there ever 500 people playing that game online in the US at once? I could check but i already know the answer. lol

2010 is gonna be expensive for gaming and on top of that i'll need a brand new set of toys to use on Saakings mom to keep her happy. Expensive times indeed.

You couldn't be any more wrong. I am not going to bad mouth Crackdown because I never played it, but Infamous is easily one of the best games released this year and to those who played it know just how fun it is to play the game. I went out of my way to platinum it and the powers and gfx are simply great for a sandbox game.

With just a bit more polish it could have been one of the best games out this gen. Needless to say, Sucker Punch will be more experienced for Infamous 2 and will deliver an even better game. Did you even play the game btw?

EDIT: Why do I even bother, these guys haven't even got enough bubbles to reply...

Still playing it, still having fun. There are a few minor things I'd change in inFamous, but nothing major. What I like is how they *nailed* the control scheme - every power is available all the time, no menus needed. Getting around is great. It is just plain fun to play.

For all I know, Crackdown is even better - never played it. But inFamous is a lot better than "average".

Average game? you got to be kidding me. inFAMOUS is an incredible game. For one it got a story to tell, not to mention its awesome gameplay. One of the very few downers of inFAMOUS was "teh jaggiez", apart from being a PS3 exclusive of course. That's the main reason I fail to understand how mediocre looking games like ODST got away with a 9 from IGN in the visual department.

BTW, I dont understand. Are Crackdown 1 visuals very far from those shown in the video? because what I'm seeing here is not very hot.

EDIT: Oops, I almost forgot. StanLee is the same fanboy spreading the flat out lie that inFAMOUS is a 4 hour long game.

The combat (tail end of the video) looks much improved and more satisfying. Like it so far.

Crackdown was awesome when it was the only open world 3rd person shooter of that type. I really enjoyed it.

But I have to agree, Infamous is a much better game as it presents much better quality with Graphics, AI, Playability, etc.

I hate to say it but I cant bring myself to play or buy any more 360 games now that Drakes 2 has presented a level of game that is way above anything that the 360 has to offer.

I will say that I am very interested in Natal though... That may spark my 360 up again....

ALRIGHT...DOUBLE U, TEEE, EFFF? There was no reason to bring up inFAMOUS whatsoever...I loved inFAMOUS, one of my favorite games this gen(great story, great gameplay, great visuals IMO), but comparing it to Crackdown is useless, all they have in common is the fact that they're both superhero games, and they both have some platforming.
I haven't played Crackdown yet, getting it really soon(can't wait :P), but Unlike most people when I play it, I will sit and enjoy it for what it is....I wont compare it to EVERY OTHER GAME THAT HAS A SIMILARITY.......and btw if you really liked inFAMOUS, you would know that when bringing it up, it's going to recieve some bashing from other people, then WHY BRING IT UP?
On Topic: I really liked the concept of Crackdown, haven't bought it yet cause I just got my 360, and Mass Effect has kept me on it :P, but this is looking REALLY GOOD, and if anyone wants to see some pretty good footage, Gametrailers has a 2-part developer walkthrough

As someone who beat infamous and crackdown, crackdown was a good game for its time infamous is a good game for 09. infamous was ahead of crackdown 1 and crackdown 2 SHOULD be ahead of infamous the same with infamous 2.

To the above poster Crackdown's city second to none??????
Liberty City is THE No. 1 city in gaming IMO. sorry

why are these two games even being mentioned in the same thread....
i played them both and infamous is easily better, i actually had a reason to play it more then once for starters

this is just my opinion

@Ape, i usually agree with you but you just dropped the ball, now a days open world games should have a decent story and crackdown's one was non-exsistant while infamous had a great story, crackdown had coop but no replay value, infamous had no multiplayer but a reason to play it twice

i liked the first game, but at this point the graphics look really nasty, but its not finished so ill hold off judgement for now.

Yup, loved the first game as well and I'm so hyped for 2.

Infamous shouldn't get slagged it was a great game and still right there next to Crackdown for me in Open World games. I would recommend Crackdown for anyone who hasn't tried it and has a 360 and I would recommend Infamous for anyone who has a PS3 and hasn't tried it. There is plenty of room for both.

Also, let me say I am surprised by some of the comments here giving some praise. You guys have renewed my faith in this place and bubbles to you all. So much better than fighting.

"I hate to say it but I cant bring myself to play or buy any more 360 games now that Drakes 2 has presented a level of game that is way above anything that the 360 has to offer. "

Why're people so obsessed with how good games look? Pretty much from what you've just said is "I'm not playing anything that looks worse than Uncharted 2".
It's not just about graphics. Earth Defence Force 2017 is one of the crappiest looking games around yet I'd still take it over near-enough every other game around today just because it's so much fun.

You're going to have a sh*tty gaming experience if you're only buying the games that look fantastic. You're going to miss out on so many other great titles because you (seem) to think every game which isn't on par with Uncharted 2 won't be worth playing.

It needs a coat of polish or two, and the AI is a little unresponsive, as they run up to the character and do nothing several times, which shows that they need to tweak a thing or two. I'm sure they are aware of what I stated if not more also; so I expect to see some improvements at the next big conference.

Using the same city can be a great thing, so hear me out:

1. They could be doing some major optimizing in terms of graphics, speed, interactivity, people, and effects, so even though you are in the same city, it may not even look like the same city.

2. It's possible that you may get a different perspective when you enter into cars or may be able to access even more things like homes

3. My only other hope is that the city isn't so "clean" this time around; Looking back, it was like a mix of Mirror's edge and Infamous.

Crackdown 1 was one of those games that I played just for fun. I didnt care about finishing the game or the story. Also I became addicted to those orbs

At least the epic explosions are still there, that was one of my favorite things about the first one

Crackdown 3 was a fun game. Cool bandwagon mentality.
