I have a theory that a lot of games try too hard. Crackdown is not one of those games. Crackdown knows that it's ridiculous. It has a story that wouldn't look out of place in a '80s action film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. You're a biologically-enhanced agent and, eh, I don't know... There are some bad guys and crime lords and stuff. Just kill them all. Like an '80s action film, you haven't come here for a fascinating plot. You just want some fun. Crackdown is delightfully pure in its intention – and the first game's commitment to chaos should make you cast Crackdown 3 aside with disdain.
