Crackdown was good. I finished it but have got a few acheivements to unlock. Sonic the Hedgehog is not so good.

I’m telling you, its boring. The plot makes so little sense. controls are fiddly. Camera is awful. Lots of pits to fall down. And those are the best parts of the game.

The worst part of all is loading times. I mean cmon, a 20 second loading time, then some character says an unvoiced line of text, then 20 more seconds. Then you do whatever he/she asks, 20 more seconds, they say something else, 20 seconds, etc. Its enough to make a grown man scream.

Hopefully playing as Silver will be fun, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

So I had a quick play (2-3 hours) of Crackdown today. I know its been out a while but we only recently got an X360.

I love it. At the moment anyway

The good parts? Almost everything. You can upgrade yourself to jump around 30-40 feet in the air, run as fast as most cars, throw cars, shoot enemies in the head with a pistol in 2 seconds of noticing them from 50 feet away, perform insane manouvers in super cars and more. The upgrading part is one of my most favourite features.

The bat parts? The locking on system. If theres an enemy and a car right next to him, rather than shoot the gas tank of the car by locking on, I have to aim manually because it insists on locking onto the enemy. This annoys me greatly, but I think is my only annoyance. The rest is superb.

I’ll probably write more about any other games I play but right now this is on my “awesome games” list.
