the rating is not fair
i have played this game and found the rating extreme the game is about a super cop who skills upgrade whenever you use them consit of driving shooting expolivs agility strentgh the game yes it has swearing but it is only here and there the gore is just a little blood squrit the game should not be compared to gta in gta you are a criminal who sleeps around and shoots up while there is some comparison like carjacking and shooting the game is a simple clean up the streets at the end it gives a little phisophical question so to my fellow parents this game is not like they portray it to be

READ THIS
I am a child who really wanted to get this game. I read reviews with my mom about Crackdown and she let me geet it because i am mature she said. Yes there are strip clubs in the game, but you have no interaction with them. They are hard to see even. the drugs in this game are really nothing. The gore is not bad at all not very bloody at all. yes you can kill innocent people BUT you will be punished if you do! So look at your child, not the rating. And if your child wants to by this game, Honestly I would tell your child to save your money because this game got kind of boring and not very fun after a while. i don't play it much anymore. But your choice. Bye and good Luck!

excellent game, very explict though.
Good role models but bad messages, you get the idea that bloody murder and stealing is the way to stop the bad guys. But the game is super fun!

Great game
This game is a great free roam. The game play is fun and the super human powers add a special bonus to the game play. The violence is abundent and intense but is not extreme. The cartoon style of the game and the somewhat far off 3rd person view makes it a lot less realistic and intense. I believe this game could have gotten away with a teen rating if the prostitues were not present in the game (you cannot "use" them as in GTA.) The drug content and language also helped it earn it M rating. This game is fun and lets you beat down on the bad guys. Highly reccomend for buying.

Just as bad as GTA
I really thought this would be different than GTA. Instead, I found myself running over pedestrians with no way to stop it because you can do whatever you want. You are reprimanded for shooting civilians, but the cops who come after you are as dumb as hell. In GTA, you are threatened by cops once you gain stars for injuring civilians. Blood, while not realistic, is emitted every second. I was appalled. One thing I did in the game was hang out on a bridge, shoot civilians in their cars, take them out, and toss them over the bridge, or into oncoming traffic.

Good
This is a fun game. There is no gore, although there is blood the graphics are quite bad so you don't really notice it. There is mild cussing and Prostitutes wander the streets, but you can't have sex with them.

Appropriate For All Teens
Crackdown is one of my favorite games I have played. To start off, this is not a GTA style game! It is a sandbox game. There are major differences between GTA and Crackdown. In Crackdown you are a police, cleaning up the city from the gangs. You don't really hear any curse words, and the killing isn't bad. There is little blood, and the characters are in a slight cartoonish look. No sexual stuff in the game and you don't really hijack cars much, because you can basically run just as fast, if not sometimes faster than the cars. I really think this game deserves a Teen rating, but the reason why it got the M rating is because T ratings aren't strict on age, so it still means a 6 year old could play this game and buy it if he wanted. But this game is fine for 12 and up I think. Like I said, just because it has the M rating and says GTA style, it is not like GTA AT ALL. There is so much more to GTA, and you can't say 2 games are a like just because of 1 thing you can do that is the same (steal cars) but even in that case, you are a police, and can confiscate vehicles in theory. And you get demoted by killing civilians. The auto lock on doesn't even lock on to civilians either. Just my opinions.

Good if your parents will not allow you to get games like GTA
A good alternate to GTA and very fun! It isnt very much like gta actually. BUT it has some nice open world features and its just COMPLETELY fun and if your parents are not so strict on blood and cussing its not bad!
