How 'slow' is the skill leveling compared to the Demo?

It's definitely much slower. I leveled up in arms and agility already, but the others are taking a heck of a long time. Once you level up for the first time in Agility, though, things start to pick up right away. The increased jump height and ground speed make things more convenient, to say the least.

Definately buying it, and for the game itself. At the moment the Halo 3 beta doesn't really interest me, but I'm sure it will when it comes round to it..

I'm buying it for crackdown its self as I enjoyed the beta/demo, I will be buying it once its out in the uk (23/24th Feb?).

Everywhere I've seen has said the 23rd, so I'm guessing it's then.

Is anyone else able to get coop working? Meshuggah and I are trying to start a co-op and it keeps giving errors or simply doing nothing at all.

I'll probably get it depending on the spare funds I have. I don't care for the beta (since it would be over by the time I get it) but, for some people, paying just for an unfinished product and not for the actual game? Seems a bit...desperate :blink:.

Edit: Rephrased

Simply a fun game, almost done with the first game only got it a few hours ago. Loved the demo so I had to pick it up. To bad I gotta go to work tonight :( BTW yes it is worth the price, beta is just a plus :p

Co-op does work, i've played in coop many times. It might be xbox live still acting up...

I preordered it, I enjoyed the demo more than I thought I would. First playthrough I thought it was pretty naff but it grew on me, even if there are a number of shortcomings with it.

I'll admit that the Halo 3 beta did probally help me make my mind up tho, I also brought 12 months gold subscription because of it.

If it hadn't come with the beta it is unlikely I would have brought it at release as I'd recently brought two other games anyway

Chris and I got it working. :D ....but I shot him with a grenade launcher by accident :(

I've wasted so much time playing this game today, it's ridiculous. Thank god for only one class and NO work today!

I havnt bought any 360 games other then gear of war which I hated, so I pretty much just play the arcade games. But when I get payed I am probably going to buy this. Though i might just rent it, becuase I really dont feel like wasting $60 on a game that i only play for a week.

yeah few bucks meaning 5 bucks? :p

the taxes? haha

I bought it because... well its pretty cool to pass some time jumping over buildings and shooting stuff. Thats the beauty of this, its so simple that I dont need to concentrate or care to pass the game.

Brilliant game all around, it being the main reason I have not posted much in the past two days besides working late two nights in a row. Just amazing fun all around, and so many sweet little things to have fun with...

For example, anyone trying to get the car trick achievements, when you get out of the keep and go into the main first area, if you head towards the ferris wheel there is a truck that is parked on its own right by where the street curves to the right. It looks like the type of truck that carries cars, when in reality all it is is a truck with a HUGE RAMP to jump off of. I suggest driving it up to the bridge, then going back to the agency and getting the SUV, and just start jumping away. Right there I wasted close to 45 minutes just having fun with the jumps, all with my boy in CoOp. He had is car to 4 stars, so he would just use the truck to clear the way for me to make sure no cars got in my way. So far I got the left and right spin achievements in a truck. So, So many little things like this to keep you occupied throughout the game itself.

Also another nice trick is if you CoOp with someone higher than you, than can drop their weapons for you. So even though I have not even left the first map, I know have the Rocket Launcher and The Grenade Launcher, which is helping tremendously in my leveling up in the explosions department.

Easily the best 60$ I have spent on a game in quite some time.

I got crackdown today... I played the demo and hated it, but the full version is a lot better.

I only got it because of the halo 3 invite. This is the first game I bought in a LONG time.

Crackdown is actually rubbing off on me, and I'm slowly starting to enjoy it...
