Crackdown could quite easily be compared to the Grand Theft Auto series of games – it offers an entire city to use and abuse as you see fit, a decent number of vehicles to drive or destroy, and it’s packed full of criminals and cops.

The similarities end there, however. For Crackdown isn’t a story-driven game in the same way that the 3D GTA games were, nor is the emphasis on committing whatever crimes are necessary to take you to the top. In Crackdown, you play the part of a genetically enhanced super-cop, created to combat three criminal gangs that are in control of the city and reclaim the streets on behalf of your masters, The Agency.
