Comparing Infamous to Crackdown

[ACHlLLES]

I haven't played the full version of Infamous just the demo, but I'll base my opinion off the reviews I've seen.

Infamous vs Crackdown in powers= About the same, I personally like the powers in Crackdown more.

In Crackdown you can choose to use guns and choose to drive in a car!!! In Infamous they take these options completely away and only allow you to fight crime with your powers and not with a car and gun. That is a huge problem for me when your playing a video game and a bunch of cars are driving around yet you can't get in a car and take it for yourself...

The worlds, both have huge worlds but atleast from the demo of Infamous it looked like the entire city looked very repetitive looking in the detail parts, while I believe Crackdown had changed up the city at parts to get a whole different feel.

In the end, I'm totally shocked with how many positive reviews this game is getting and how many negative reviews crackdown got when it was released yet crackdown gives you more variety in the gameplay part like using powers, guns, and cars.

I feel like Crackdown was kind of GTA with Superpowers, whereas Infamous is more like Fable in a GTA urban setting.

Infamous is one of the first games that really made me say "I wish I had a PS3". A few hours with my friend's copy of Crackdown didn't really impress me, although I'm sure it got better once the game went on.

They should let you use guns and drive cars in infamous. But I heard they make excuses saying stuff like his powers are the reason why he can't drive or use guns... That is so ******ed, this is a game its not meant to be real. Let him drive and use guns, maybe they'll have a downloadable patch or cheat codes to let you do it or can they not do that since thats not how the game was programed.

I don't know, I think that a sandbox action game like that without guns and cars if refreshing. I always thought that the cars in those games made it way too easy and too much of a crutch. If it had the guns and cars it would just be another GTA with powers game.

No one forces you to use the guns or cars in Crackdown. Its an option, like it should be an option in this game. Like EA sports needs to grow balls and allow people to customize their controls in Fight Night Round 4.

I liked Crackdown, it didn't get enough love IMO.

I don't remember any super powers in it though, other than jumping high?

I liked Crackdown, it was ridiculously easy though... even on the highest difficulty. I prefer infamous though...

Crackdown always felt like it was a more tongue in cheek game. Tbh I dont care about driving cars at all.... this is from the demo though..

Since the 360 sucks **** because it gets the red ring of death quite easily at high percentages of failure. They should bring crackdown to the ps3, unless xbox360 bought it completely... Because now that I think about that game, I really did enjoy it personally.
