Crackdown - Image 1 


And update you we did. A few days after telling you guys about the availability of Crackdown's Xbox Live demo, it seems that you'll be having a hard time first before being able to really enjoy the game. Why is that? The demo is already out, the only problem is it might take you quite a while for you to download it.

Apparently, the Crackdown demo is causing some blockage over at Xbox Live. The demo, which weighs around 1.24 GB, will let you take a look around and explore half the district that belongs to one of the three power gangs, the Los Muertos gang. Access to both single and co-op modes are available in the demo. Well, you can't really blame people for getting it - it's free and jampacked, what more could you ask?

Oh and to boost your self-esteem, leveling up in the demo has been made easier to accommodate the 30-minute time limit. What can we say, we guess a hackneyed "patience is virtue" would do.

 » just under 1 hour

i started it around 9am... took just under 1 hour on my 5mbps cable connection. it's pretty nice game... but not one I'll be buying. Saints Row is still looking to be the better open ended game so far.

ok, you are the most retarded sony fanboy i've seen yet, none of us were even talking about sony, and you come in here saying, why do you hate sony, ill tell ya why. Sony is a rip off company that steals microsofts and nintendos ideas and puts them into one. mind you they did it poorly and the ps3 is *****. Face it the ps3 has ***** games compared to the 360, and soon, sony will have fun against halo 3.

 » Leave him alone, someone was talking about sony
