    Yeah I very rarely drive, if I have to go far I'll jump to the nearest supply point thing and teleport, although that's not very easy in the Shai Gen area. Although driving the agency vehicles when they're fully upgraded is a lot of fun.

    Indeed, I agree. The view you get from the top of the tower is nothing short of breathtaking...in a digital sense of course. On co-op, me and my mate used to race each other to the top of that tower because it was quite an effort to reach the summit, great fun. Jumping off it and landing in the water was equally as fun for some reason.

    I so wish they would make a second one but it doesn't look likely...gutted

    The sense of height in Crackdown was immense! I loved how the sound of cars and people below would get quieter and quieter as you get higher...right up until all you can here is the eerie sounding wind. Awesome.

    Lord Midas, good luck finding the last five! When I found my last agility orb, I almost cried like a little girl. That tiny glowing bundle of green joy was like Christmas come early.

    spawning a truck on top of the agency tower, was always the best bit!

    thats a real shame - they could have done so much with the 2nd crackdown - like mainly more multiplayer options

    And on that subject why are there not more co-op games all I have found to work well are Halo and crackdown!!

    i started playing this last night and wasnt massively impressed. Will it get better when i start levelling up or is it just not a game for me from my early impressions?

    Re: Crackdown - genius

    I really liked it from the word go... although a few places I got a little tired with it.

    That said one of my friends hated it so... guess it's a little hit or miss!

    I'd carry on playing though, play a co-op game online if you can... they're much more fun and the other player can probably show you some cool things!

    def give it a little time and level up - agility esp adds extra dimension to the gameplay as you can access more of the city

    Hehe. Well said. Yes, I was in Shai Gen and thought i'd climb the heights again in case. So as I made my way round the smaller building to gather height I spotted the little green stack of sweet sweet agilty. The pop of achievement orbs. The bliss.
