From what I understand all copies of Crackdown will include beta invites.

At the earliest this will only be phased out in copies manufactured after the beta starts.

From the official H3 site...

"All Crackdown boxes will be specially marked with a Halo 3 sticker before the beta begins."

I don't think you have to worry just yet.

I know...that's why I stated it. I love you so much I want to be just like you.

Seriously though, I hate GTA enough as is. I don't want another damn wannabe either. So far the only 1 that's as good as (I hear better from some people) is Saints Row. Not saying much though.

Saints Row, Is horrible. My brother has that game for his 360. The Only Means of Transportation are 4 wheeled vehicles. there's not as much freedom as the GTA games. The story is cheesy and the setting is the Typical Hood enviroment. GTA Vice City is a million times better than this game. The only thing that's great about Saints Row are the graphics and Multiplayer. Other than That, It's another cheap Rip-off of Unique GTA games like Vice City. What exactly is it that you dont like about GTA games???

They are way to repetetive and have absolutely no point. I mean your choices are to either run around shooting random people or play boring missions. I mean the only fun thing about GTA I've seen so far is cheating to get the damn helicopter and fly around seeing how the city looks from above or dressing up your character like Mr. T in San Andreas.

That's it. All the fun in GTA summed up there.

I always thought the GTA games had good stories. i didn't Like San Andreas Like i did Vice City's though. i always thought GTA had a Great variety of missions. it's not all about shooting people.

Well, I tried missions too, and I made note of the missions in my post. Didn't like 'em a lick. Except maybe 1 or 2 in the original GTA. Btw, when I played the original GTA, I was 7. I was 7 and I didn't like the game, and when you're fuckin' 7 you love everything. Wtf does that say when a 7 year-old hates the game?

I like the missions in GTA games. I, like many people, find them quite enjoyable. Saints Row sucks. I just didn't think it was as great as others said it was. Crackdown is fun. I've played the demo and had a blast with it. It's much better than Saints Row in my opinion, and I'll be getting it for sure.

I don't really like the GTA games, but that doesn't mean I don't think they're good, just that they're not my prefered type of game.

Poor widdle Crackdown. It almost seems like it's gotten a harder rap than it deserves just because of that there Halo 3.

I bought it yesterday morning, yes, to get the H3 invite, but what I found when I popped the disc in the machine was a little surprising... I think the game is actually hella fun. It really doesn't have much in common with GTA so much as it does with other sandbox games, like Mercenaries and Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction. Of course, keep in mind the game was directed by the guy that made the original top-down GTA, but it really feels like a mix of Merc and Hulk.

So you might want to lay off bashing this game until you've actually played it. I don't like GTA much at all, but I'm finding I love this one. Only bad thing so far: those achievements are so hard to get!
