Title: Crackdown Demo [360]
Post by: Goblin on January 24, 2007, 20:42:40 PM
Anyone else downloaded this yet? Good good fun, lots of shooting, driving and, if you spend the demo time collecting agility orbs, lots of really big jumping.

Imagine GTA set in Carmageddon world with more guns and the ability to leap tall buildings like some pumped up parkour enthusiast.

Unusually for a console shooter I picked up the controls pretty easily and there is a nice target lock on since aimng with a stick is impossible.

May pick this one up, looks like there could be a lot of fun exploring and jump finding to be had (both on foot and in car)

Aye, I had a great laugh with this.  I do like the Matrix style roof top jumping.  I have had this on pre-order.

Absolute blast. Love being able to pick up and throw corpses around (has anyone tried throwing a load in water and using them as stepping-stones?), and using a bin-lid as a shield... :D

Send me a message on Live if anyone wants to play co-op, I want to put my free month of Gold to full use. :)

This may be a stupid question, but can you download it from your PC, then burn it to a DVD and play it that way??

Just my mate has a 360 but does have the internet to connect it.

Thanks

No, the easiest way would be to bring his 360 round and do the download. Gold members only this week, silver can get it next week.

Arr, right cheers :)

Although......as he doesnt have the internet at his, does that mean if we bring it to mine, well have to pay for membership just to download the demo?

Nope, just create a free silver account. You only need to pay for gold if you want to play online.

Thought the US games worked on the UK console?

It all depends on the game. Not all of them are region-free.

Can someone point me in the direction of where to get this from? As my mate looked last night, and all he could find was arcade style games, and couldnt find crackdown anywhere. He is a gold member.

Its on the marketplace under demos. If all hes seeing is arcade games, then he must have gone into the arcade section of the marketplace.

Easiest way to find it is choose Xbox Live Marketplace from the dashboard, then Games, then Newly Released Downloads, then scroll down to Crackdown

You need to be looking in the marketplace, not Live Arcade. :P
