Pacific City is overridden; crime controls the streets. Three powerful gangs have taken the once-great metropolis hostage, and the police have proven powerless in their efforts to regain control. Only the Agency - with genetically enhanced agents of justice - can provide citizens with some sense of hope.

Brace yourself. Justice is coming to Pacific City.

Crackdown Features:

    * Incredible Over-the-Top Action: Anything goes as you take back the streets by improving and discovering the amazing potential inside your Agent. As you polish your gameplay skills, your Agent's inherent genetic abilities will increase as well. Run at amazing speeds, make death-defying leaps, perform impossible vehicular stunts, lift massive objects, and deliver hits that will shatter your enemies.

    * Use Your Environment: Run out of ammo? That's no problem, thanks to the sheer number of props and a deep physics system that will blow you away. Use whatever's at hand to beat your enemies into submission—lightpoles, trash cans, cars, even people—to rid the streets of crime.

    * Legendary Game Designer: Crackdown comes from the mind and inspiration of David Jones, the creative mastermind behind Grand Theft Auto and Lemmings. Here, he's taken the idea that shook the gaming world with Grand Theft Auto and brought it to an entirely new level using Xbox 360.

    * Next Generation Visuals: Harnessing the power of Xbox 360, Crackdown gives you a gang-ruled metropolis on a massive scale. It's cel-shaded look will immerse you in a living graphic novel, letting you make the battle for Pacific City personal.

    * Cooperative Gameplay: From the initial concept, Real Time Worlds focused on delivering dynamic, enthralling cooperative gameplay for an even more intense experience. Play across Xbox Live with a friend in the room or across the country, sharing skills and firefights in your joint effort to take down the gangs.

    * Cooperative Play will allow for seamless entrance and exits by friends or other Xbox Live members. Depending on your settings, you can receive join requets from only friends or from everyone online.

    * From Streets to Rooftops: Take the battle to the thugs through high-speed chases anywhere and everywhere. On foot or behind the wheel, nowhere is out of bounds.

    * Music To Fight Crime To: More than 100 licensed tracks, spanning a wide range of styles and genres, give audio identities to characters and locations.

    * Gangs: Three gangs are present in this sprawling Pacific city and each gang has their own district. The Los Muertos who speak Spanish, The Volk who speak Russian and Shai-Gen Corporation who actually speak English because their Board of Directors is multi-racial, causing their corporate language to be English.
