The Constable's Corner

OK everybody. For the next couple of weeks, we will be starting up a new feature in our blog called The Constable's Corner. Every Monday, Nathan Constable will be reviewing the latest videogames on the market. He tells it like it is, my friends. So here is the first edition of the Constable's Corner:

Crackdown is a free-roaming action-adventure game in which a gentically enhanced super-agent of justice roams throughout Pacific City neutralizing gang members and cleaning up the streets. You are a superhuman, a god. You are unstoppable. A force to be reckoned with.

You are given the duty of defeating three powerful gangs, each controlling their own district of the city: Los Muertos, The Volk, and the Shai Gen Corporation, all more notorious than the previous.

You are tasked with killing each of the 7 gang bosses from each gang, with Kingpin at the top. Very little storyline exists. However, the game's fun overwhelms it's less favorable traits.

Crackdown is a riveting game with great gameplay. It's 3rd-person view point allows you to easily navigate Pacific City's soaring rooftops with your superhuman jumping skills. The game offers a vast array of potent explosives for your disposal, and firing them near gas tanks yields devastating results.

Overall, Crackdown is a must-have game for your collection. Not only is solo mode fantastic, but co-op with a buddy is great fun. Not only can you take on the filth of Pacific City together, but when bored you can engage in a no-holds-barred, city-wide deathmatch to the finish. Crackdown is a must-buy!
