SUMMARY
This article describes the Xbox 360 game Crackdown.



MORE INFORMATION
Real Time Worlds in Scotland developed Crackdown exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios and the Xbox 360 console. Crackdown is the brainchild of Dave Jones, the creative genius who is behind many innovative games.

Crackdown is an action-driven hybrid game that moves into the next generation by using the first ever truly-3-D playground. You must explore and enforce justice any way that you can in the crime-ridden urban center named Pacific City. Enter an interactive world where you can use anything that you want as a weapon to clean up the streets.

Game features

 * True next-generation visuals: Crackdown's unique presentation harnesses the power of the Xbox 360 console and uses a highly stylized rendering technique that turns the game environment into a living, breathing graphical novel.
 * Double the mayhem: From the initial conception, Crackdown was built to feature a dynamic and engaging cooperative gaming experience to double the action, carnage, and intensity.
 * Free-form gameplay: For the first time, you can explore every inch of the urban playground. Move under, around, or through the environment by using any route that you want that takes you where you want to go.
 * Extraordinary action: You can use any strategy or tactic that you want to unleash the powers of your agent, develop his full genetic potential, become faster and stronger, learn bone-crushing moves, use outrageous weapons, or defy certain death to achieve your objectives.
 * Environmental weaponry: You do not have to worry about finding more ammunition. Thanks to an amazing amount of props and a deep physics system, you can use whatever you want as a weapon. Use trashcans, vehicles, even people as weapons, or gather vehicles to assemble barricades, or build piles of explosives to create mass destruction.
