Though these two are about the same age, Crackdown has held up MUCH better and is MUCH more enjoyable. <br /> <br />I've read reviews saying Crackdown is too easy and others saying it is too hard. In terms of completing missions/quests, it does seem harder than BioShock (my all-time favorite shooter), Fallout 3 (my 2nd all-time favorite), and Mass Effect, but easier than Grand Theft Auto IV (with which it has virtually nothing in common). It is nowhere near as hard as non-sandbox shooters such as Halo 3 or even Eat Lead. Climbing buildings and jumping between them to get the "agility orbs" is a lot of fun and nowhere near as difficult as in the latest Prince of Persia. <br /> <br />I gave this 5 stars for fun and 3 stars overall because although it is plenty of fun to play, it does not compare to the previously mentioned more recent games when it comes to graphics (good but not great), variety, nor richness of environment and gameplay, but if you have already played the other games to death, Crackdown is a fun, cheap game to play while waiting for Bioshock 2 or Fallout 4 or GTA5 or whatever the next big sandbox game turns out to be. <br /> Really fun for an old game.

Never actually bought it because of the hype over Halo 3 at the time, but know I've gone back and played it and it's a good game. Worth the few bucks I paid for it. Crackdown Review

Once the game is patched, they insert all sorts of extra things in to the game that you can't actually play, they only take you to a screen where you can BUY the gameplay. It's annoying, it breaks up the regular game, and there's no way I've found to turn it off. I played the game for about 6 hours in 2 days, then on the third day I got the patch, played for 15 minutes, and haven't gone back. Great until they start begging you for money
