Anyone beat it yet? I just did, the ending is pretty funny! I liked the game as a whole too, except for the agency guy constantly reminding me to check my dossier to see what a full agent can do, even though I already was one...what about you guys?

I just sold it today because I thought it was very gay. The graphics are eh, I just don't like that "light cell shading (?)" style. On the verge of photorealistic and cartoon, lol. The gameplay get's way to repetetive, killing innocent people and gangsters. thats ALL YOU DO IN THE GAME.

Naw man, you didn't play it for long enough, when you get your skills up high you can do some fun things, like drive up walls, and throw busses at people.

The gameplay was very repetitive. It was fun to jump around and kill people, especially as you got able to do better things but that got boring as well.

I'm almost finished the game. So far it's one of my absolute favourites. Whoever compares it to GTA are boneheads, because they are very different. I love hopping from roof to roof like a superhero, and shooting grenades onto balconies!

I just finished the Volk missions the other day, and am working through the next lot. The bosses don't seem any harder, but the street punks certainly are. If I hadn't had the week off ill, I would probably have finished it by now.

I thought if you maxed out your driving skills your car got weapons, but I guess I must have dreamt that

It's a superb game though, have totally enjoyed every second of it. The massive jumps, the distance, the rockets, the sniping, ahh.. the cluster grenades! Aww yeah, it's one great game. Pissed all over Gears, which I'm still too bored with to play much.

Gears needs a someone to play co-op mode with, I got kinda bored with it on single player, but damn it's a blast with 2 players on the main game - backing each other up, creating strategies, or just getting vengeance .

I just beat Crackdown 2 nights ago. The Shaigen district is hella difficult if you don't have maxed skills! I've maxed everything out now, except driving, as I'm not too sure how to increase that skill. I don't like doing the rooftop and/or driving races, but other than that it's great. This is so far my favourite 360 game, well worth it. I'll be playing through this game once again for sure!

To max ut driving goto that bowl like place with the ramps and drive of it doing front flips or barrel rolls. Yeah its a fun game to mess around with. I like all the things you can do like i knock this guy over by throwing a grenade at his head. Another time I killed a group of people by throwing a bus at them heh good times.

Your super car has got guns...hit B, the SUV jump, and the truck has NOS. You just have to be maxed out, to max out your skill, just run some enemies down, thats what I did, went and ran over a bunch of em.

Ahh I maxed out my driving tonight and indeed I can now fire guns in my car Shame they aren't very powerful, but it certainly makes for a more interesting driving session before some Shi Gen git rockets me off the road.

I've only had the chance to play the full game on a limited basis, didn't seem to differ much from the demo; but on the whole was fun.
It is extremely GTA-ish, but not to compare it to the GTA3-Series (which I honestly only completed cause I started each one) as personally found them to be crap story-driven drivel.

Has more of the classic GTA feel about it, more back to basics in terms of what you were doing. Obviously though in a 3D environment with a cheesy story, and super-powers.
When I get home will probably pay through it after I complete FFXII.. cause just too addicted to that game through'n'through.

As for Gears, I'm totally with those who felt Single Player was boring after the first time through (which takes about 3-5hrs depending on how much you rush it). After that, on you're own it does really loose it's luster. Co-op and Online is pretty awesome and fun though.. very similar experience to Halo cause it's just a laugh from the get go.

Totally looking forward to the next Gears, and Halo
This said, this is comming from someone who still tends to have a habbit of playing on Viva Pinata quite a bit. Only a few pinata to go, then I'll have them all.. and can get down to the serious business of going after my final few achiements.

I got that Viva Pinata last Saturday, that's one damn weird game - my son swiftly nabbed it though, for the best as I'd probably get nothing done, it just seems to suck you in. Everytime you do something, something else happens that you need to see too, like a new creature will wander into your garden and you just have to check him out.

The 4 headed snakes are my fave .

Got Fusion Frenzy 2 as well, wish I hadn't, it's just nowhere near as good as the original, all the games are the freakin same!. And they killed Trailblazers, how is it possible to make that so smooth and fun on an XBox, then make it jittery as hell on the 360!. They killed it, and I doubt they even feel bad.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Viva Pinata! That game is so difficult on the higher levels, yet so insanely fun
