Crackdown Demo

This is not a review nor a preview. I wrote it to show a just a little bit of the things you can do in the demo. I will change it in to a preview tomorrow or Sat. For now though, you will just have to deal with this

Crackdown is just great! There has been no better demo that I can think of recently. It took me all of 45 minutes to download it this morning and I have been playing it ever since! Over 12 hours straight, I have played today and I will most likely do it again tomorrow! There is just something about Crackdown that makes a person have fun! Sure, I was looking forward to the game. ***, even pre-ordered it a while ago before that no named beta was announced to come with it. There is just something about it that makes, me at least, play to find new things.

Right out of the get go, I went for the agility ability. Why? Jumping 30 feet up and from builing to building does something for a gamer! I spent the first few hours trying to get as many agility orbs as I could. 67 is my high thus far, although, I am sure it will go up in the days to come. There is just nothing quite like jumping through town from one high rise to another! I don't know what it is! Maybe it was that this part filled the emptiness that the crappy Superman demo left. Flying through the air shooting people on the way was just a great feeling and still is! How can anyone be disappointed when you can jump up a skyscraper via the window sills??

The other ability that I abosolutely love is the strength! When I hear the words: You can now lift about 10 tons and throw about 250 feet, I almost orgasm! Not to mention ripping car doors off to beat people with them, kicking a car so that it squashes a person, throwing the car with people in it into a building, kicking a person off a roof, and soo much more make this ability just great! Seriously, when do you get a chance to throw a cement bag off of a 12 story building into a gang members head and then jump down to throw his body into his freinds??

There is the weapons ability which I am sure is great and there will be more in the game but, in the demo, who the *** cares? That is not the draw! Every sandbox games has guns! Yes, you do get more accurate and such as you do better but, still. I am sure the rocket launcher will be pretty though.

The driving skill will be good in game. In the demo, not so much. No transformation of vehicles as far as I could see but, I could be off. Not bad though as you can control the cars a *** of a lot better as you go up.

Explosions are good fun too! Grenades in downtown. Sure it has been done before but, throw a gas tank off a multi story building and watch ppl go boom as you are shooting it in air! That is fun fellas! Cars, barrels, and other things blowing up just makes ya feel all tingly inside!

There is more than that in the demo as well! Races, rooftop things, and crap I haven't done yet! Not to mention you have swimming and hidden orbs all over the damn place. I am damn sure there is more I am missing as the demo informed me that the higher up you are killing people, your agility goes up! I didn't know that til 11 hours into it! Who knows what the game will hold.

I do know this though, getting Crackdown for a two month beta is like getting ten kegs for a two person party. Sure, it will be great while it lasts but, the toilet is the only thing that gets to see your money

The Demo was BA, i love the driving skill and the upgrading cars. Also being able to kick someone super far

Yes! the demo rocks I hope they take ability restrictions "off" for the final release tho :P So I can jump over entire city's! and punch those punks sky high! wehee!
And I so want that limited version of it with halo3 beta. And I will, way or another :hush:
