"Your supposed to be helping the police agent, not killing them"... haah. Loved it, played it for ages. Dare I say best game on the 360 in the time I had one (a tie with Gears 1). Then the box died and it was all over. Sob. Crackdown singlehandely destroyed my 1st Xbox. Way too much for the poor 360 to take with all that shit going on. I'd love a multiplat sequel but that ain't happening now. Guess I'll have to make do with Infamous.

Ditto on the demo not doing the game justice. The demo is just the first few missions, and the game doesn't hit its frankly awesome stride until you've raised your abilities and are leaping majestically from skyscraper to skyscraper and hurling cars at bad guys with giddy abandon.
