Good job! Especially in Japan. Well deserved.

I haven;t played this, but is it a hip hop game?

[InMyOpinion]

It's not a hiphop game. The music featured in the game is mostly ambient/electro with the exception of one chicano rap tune.

[THAMMER1]

because the box art has a BLACK MAN on it?

[Covenant]

Well, in his defense, most urban action games have hip-hop/rap soundtracks. I understand part of your point, tho: I'm amazed at how many people come into my BB store looking for a black artist (Corinne Bailey Rae, for example) and assume they must be in the rap section.

GUNDAM ---120k sold on 1st day + 30k ps3

[Xi]

a - what does that have to do with crackdown sales.
b - do you have a reliable link for that? I know it didn't do as well in famitsu as people thought it would.

[Say's you]

Lie about this game saying that this game is on top for any gamer
in Japan.

[Caxtus750]

wth?

and anyways GTA:SA is very popular in Japan so i believe.

[Xi]

Gears of war sold in japan, and lost planet.

[MissAubrey]

[Boink]

it is called riot act in japan

[ALIEN]

I don't like this game.

[Drew]

Have you even played it?

[360RULA]

shisnet i cant play it right now cause im visiting family but i cant wait to go back and pull off an all nighter

[jpod]

this game is good fun, and it's good to see japan liking it too.

[ALIEN]

I haven't played it. maybe i rent it 2night and i'll see if i like it. I just don't like they way it looks, but ur right (drew) i haven't played it yet.

[Hayabusa 117]

Yeah, it was kinda obvious...

As for the article...Maybe the Japs brought it for the Halo 3 Beta :) :D :) :D

[Drew]

Yeah, you should check it out. It's really addictive. I was critical of it too, when I first fired it up, but now I'm a believer. Just be sure to get the orbs. Oh God, the orbs. They'll haunt you when you sleep. D:

[Hayabusa 117]

You kiddin'? I've liked the look of this game since I first saw it (before the 360's launch). I've already spent all night collecting Fu(king agilty Orbs: my last count...all 500 of them! :)

[Covenant]

After all, GTA: San Andreas has sold very well in Japan. Crackdown and GTA are both urban action games, and probably appeal to a similar demograph.

[Xi]

I can see it doing better, with japan being all crazy about super hero's and ninjas.

[WTF]

WEEEEE!!!!Good for the game,at least is doing something.
