PRO-G: Crackdown Review

Crackdown must rank pretty high on the list of games that looked doomed to fail but actually turned out pretty damn well. When it made its public debut the barrage of screenshots that were verging on hideous didn’t do it any favours and early buzz was practically nonexistent. Fast forward to early 2007 and the free-roaming action game suddenly seemed like one of the most promising titles for Q1 2007. Sure, the promise of a place on the Halo 3 online beta helped, but the game itself has proven to be more than capable of standing on its own.
