If you’ve played Crackdown on the Xbox 360, you know how satisfying it is to use your Watson Firefly (my favorite weapon) to send a few guided rockets into the cars of gang members – or for real laughs, right at the gang members. Your enjoyment level is just about to increase because Microsoft and Realtime Worlds has announced free and premium (read: costs money) downloadable content from Xbox Live Marketplace. When? Today!
If you go the cheap, free route you’ll be offered:
– New weapons
– New vehicles
– New game modes
– New Achievements (did anyone actually ever find all the orbs?)
– New improved mission time trials
– Replay option so you can play the game through again
– The ability to create ramps, explosives and vehicles anywhere in Pacific City
– A new cheat mode that will allow you to seriously kick butt in the game.
If you can wangle 800 Microsoft Points (about $10) out of your parents, girlfriend/boyfriend or college savings, in addition to the above features, you’ll also be treated to goodies such as:
– Access to the full Crackdown weapons armory
– New co-op game modes
– An Agent "cloaking device"
– Street racing modes
– New rocket launchers and mini guns.
– New proximity mines
– HRX Harpoon gun
And don’t forget, if you purchased one of the specially marked packages of Crackdown, you’ll also be able to participate in the Halo 3 beta coming May 16.
