"The excitement for
Crackdown is evident through the significant number of pre-orders and affirms the continued Xbox 360 momentum in 2007," said Jeff Bell, corporate vice president of Global Marketing in the Interactive Entertainment Business Entertainment and Devices Division at Microsoft Corp.
Those gamers anxious to get an early glimpse at the title will be able to enjoy the Crackdown demo available through Xbox Live Marketplace this month. And, as previously announced, Crackdown fans will be offered a special bonus with the purchase of each specially marked copy: access to the coveted Halo. 3 multiplayer beta program.
From Realtime Worlds, Crackdown pushes the action-driving hybrid genre into the next generation with the first ever truly 3-D playground. Gamers will level up their Agent's strength, agility, firearms, explosives and driving skills while scaling the fully vertical world of Crackdown. This M-rated game incorporates revolutionary co-op gameplay throughout the entire freeform campaign. Creating a volatile cocktail of judicial oppression, players will clean up the streets of a truly interactive world when Crackdown hits store shelves at an estimated retail price of $59.99.
