Quantcast



From my general experience with Crackdown, I can honestly say that the game will be worth buying even after the Halo 3 beta incentive is long gone. If by chance you don't feel the same way, perhaps this video will help persuade you.
 
Basically, it's just some guy stockpiling a bunch of cars and blowing them up. If it wasn't for the lag spike, this would've been the perfect explosion. But, the game pretty much makes up for this flaw by including the line, "What is your major malfunction, agent?"

hmmm but does this game have good replay value other than multiplayer?...seems like i'll just beat it, then blow stuff up for awhile(maybe with a friend for a couple more hours)...then never touch it again

I'm a believer now. I downloaded the demo to see if it was worth getting it for the Halo 3 Beta, and after playing through the demo four or five times, I took a break to go preorder it. It's almost cliche to say now, but I would buy this shit even without the halo 3 beta.

where do u get the satchel charge?
TheDemon In You's Avatar - Comment posted on 01/31/2007 01:13

Its not a satchel charge, its the remote mine grenade. You get it to start off with. Just once you throw it, press and hold the same button, and itll blow up

Best thing about the mines is you can blow them up mid air. You can wipe out crowds of gangs with the mines. I am loving the demo, I went crazy and tried to get as much agility as I could and it was awesome jumping from building to building, I like the effect when you hit th ground and it cracks like Incredible hulk or something.

Has anybody else noticed how annoying the civilians can be when trying to set up these explosions? Some of them are just determined to try to drive through the car pile-up, and sometimes they'll try to re-carjack their own car ha.

It's nothing a round house kick to the neck can't solve though.

LMAO, I used to do that all the time in the Grand Theft Auto 1 Demo. I didn't even know that there were missions in that game.
