Crackdown is da bomb!

Alright peeps...it has been awhile since I posted...partying too much but gonna get back to it!

There is this game for the XBOX360 called Crackdown and yes it is a GTA type game (GTA type games are called "sandbox" games a lot) but let me tell ya...it effin rocks! It is waaay better than Saints Row and the previous GTA games in my opinion. Is it perfect? No. Is it fun? Hell Yeah!

Crackdown:
Basically you are a new type of cop trying to clean up the streets. You wear a suit that allows you to have superhero like abilities. You also level up your skills (seven of them I think) by using them or going through timed tests or by collecting orbs hidden throughout the city or even by car races. The city if large enough and the game is open enough that you can waste a lot of time just jumping from building to building like the Hulk (the higher your agility skill the higher you can jump). I like the way the missions are setup too. While exploring you will get a message from headquarters about a minor crime lord near you. They will then show up on your radar and you can go take them out when you are ready. After each minor crime lord you take out you are told your chances to take out the main boss. To finish the game you must take out the multiple main bosses in the city. Each has an area of the city and gang members that attack and respawn all over the place. I wasted a lot of time just running around looking for orbs to upgrade my agility and increasing my firearms skill by shooting the gang members.

I haven't tried the co-op yet because none of my friends have it yet but will soon and might post again if it is worth telling about. Oh, and if you do buy the game you will be able to play the Halo3 online beta when released.

Go get it!!!
