I recommend that you rent this game, because it is very short! Ok, looking for all the orbs will take you a while but the main game will last no more then five hours. If I were you I would wait until Friday and buy GRAW 2.

It is short, yes, but it's so much fun. I'd recommend for a good long weekend, and if you really feel you don't need it, I'm sure you'll be able to get $30-$35 for it next week.

i have to disagree....GRAW 2 wont be worth buying as its just graw 1 with the #2 stuck on it...i say buy the game. the game is short, but it dosnt even matter because the game is addictive and will amuse you for a long time after you beat the game.

I recommend the game, yes you have heard left, and right that the game is short, there are really only 21 missions. But on top of that, there are a total of 800 orbs to collect, 14 road races, 12 rooftop races, 39 stunt rings to finda and drive through, and the want and desire to MAX out you skills. Not to metion to you and to everybody else, but there is Downloadable content coming, we don't know what it is, but we KNOW there will be content coming. So who are any of us to say the this game is short until we know what the new content is!!! Because like Oblivion, Crackdown COULD have mutiple different DLC content.

I say no... the game's short and not particularly replayable IMO.

Although I got though this game very quickly (besides the last 40 hidden orbs I still have to find), I'm not mad that I bought it. I can still go on for a couple hours with a friend and mess around. Also, there's the Halo 3 beta to wait for, and future downloadable content. So even if you rent it, you're not getting the beta or the new stuff coming out later.

Overall this game is fun, and there is really no end to the things you and a friend can do together in it.

If you liked the demo, get the full game and you'll like it even more!

i agree with this, because who knew that oblivion would be comming out with shivering isles (spelling?) that would add another 40+ hours so they could add more islands and make it even longer so people would still be happy....plus they could always come out with more side missions (for people who like them, personally i dont) and more playable characters (they had 4 new characters the day before the game was released) plus, dont forget they're going to add the last 100 pts in the game through FREE downloadable content

I originally bought this game just for the H3 Beta, but Im glad I bought it because it turned out being one of the funnest 360 games I've played yet. This in my opinion is deffinitely worth the purchase.

This game kept me interested for a while. I've stopped playing it, but I am going to pick back up on it to get the final achievements and I'm not going to sell it cause the Halo 3 beta. Its story line, IMO, sucked VERY badly. Just your typical fight three gangs and you beat the story mode (kinda like saints row, but now you can jump higher and you don't get the pimp coat).I also didn't like the fact that they put 800 orbs in the game. To me, its a waste of time. I agreed with the review gameinformer gave it, but I would download the demo before you consider making the purchase. But hey, this is just my opinion

i say buy it for 3 reasons:

1) its fun as hell
2) it is short, yes but it will have downloadable content
3) Halo 3 beta

I liked it in the begining but felt that it was short now that I look back. The Orbs are your biggest waste of time. The forum really helped with the alot of the stunts and achievments! I liked the postings in the forums and spent more time reading them then playing the game..

Yeh, anyone who is thinking of buying it should download the demo, but I think the game is good until you complete it all. All thats left then is the achievments, when there done, theres nothing much to do, just need to hope they bring some downloads or updates to bring in more agency vehicles like a motorbike or achievments.

its a great short game that has an invite for halo 3 beta. rent it first and if you think a beta is worth 60 dollars then buy.

definitly. i just play it even if im not going for achievements. i made a game in the game. called road block you park a cop car w/ sirens on and shoot anyone who doesn't stop for 5 seconds.

I can just speak for myself but I have had lots of fun playing this game.
Sure being at 499/500 agility orbs and 299/300 hidden orbs was frustrating, as was the alley of the den race and my last stunt ring.

But even still it was still fun and I will surely pick the game up when we get som DLC (and perhaps before just to free roam a bit).

good game not sure that is is worth the buy as the story is short. But these is enough other stuff in the game to keep you busy such as the orbs, maxing out your character, etc. Plu if you want the Halo 3 beta then it's a must buy.

I also have GRAW2 and it may be similar to GRAW1....only better

To be completely honest, I would say that if you are going for the full on 900 gs, then you may want to buy it...I dunno tho, I like it, but if it wasn't for the Halo 3 beta, I would have taken it back as I have no interest in searching for orbs or stunt markers anymore...and I suck at driving so I'm not doing the races...but to each their own...it is short, but I don't like hunting down useless items for a measely 10gs...

I say the game is worth buying because of all the fun in co-op I guess.

i think this is deff worth the purchase the game is great i was jumping around collecting orbs while my buddy was killing bosses and he needed a hand with one and on his way to the boss he swung by to pick me up in the suv how good is that!!! all games should be like this :drunk

Its a terrible game but it is fun to play. Story is non existent and the bosses are interchangeable. But it is still fun as hell to just run around the world. Its kind of like Dead or Alive Volleyball. You're playing for the tits, not the volleyball.

Afther a rent you'll see if it's worth it or not for me i ended up buying it it's a excellent game for coop and playing solo is fun to.

Davey_Pitch
05-03-2007, 05:15 PM
I definitely think it's worth it. It's one of the more enjoyable games on the 360, it's great fun just leaping around trying to get the agility orbs, jumping from building to building, and throwing cars at people :D

since the first month it came out i havent put it back in my xbox i played the coop to death and got all the achievements. i think most people can finish the game by renting not buying

I rented it from Blockbuster, then while I still had it rented I went and bought it with my friend. And it's the only way you'll get to demo the Halo 3 beta! I'd pick this up if I hadn't already.
