Played for 2 hours straight, crackdowns wrecking zone is the type of game you have to give time to have fun with. Don't kill me for this comparison, but it's kind of like red dead 2 in a way. Really have to fight the controls to get used to it. That's why I can see a lot of people's first impressions recently like igns of it being really bad. After 2 hours I was going beast mode compared to how badly I started, and when I watched them just play the game the opposite of how it's supposed to be (like I did, running and gunning on the ground not using half the moves we had) I couldn't stop cringing. Like why are you on the ground, the whole point is to be vertical and generally be unorthodox in movement to not die. When you get good you can do cool shit like running from 4 bad guys by blasting a whole in a wall then shooting the ceiling behind you so when they're homing rockets are coming in you have a 2 second delay of debris to get away while you blow a hole into the other side of said building to bash through... so when Ryan from ign was on the ground 90% of the time only getting somewhere by the jet boosters on the ground, his one hop, (not even using the super jump) and trying to fight his enemies like it's halo I can see where he wasn't having that much fun and why the destruction seemed unimportant to the gameplay for him. Your supposed to use it not admire it, you can be super creative with it. So run and gunning is obviously not going to leave a good impression even though the gameplay so varied it's an option of playstyle (which all the guns enhance like the shot gun for myself since I don't stay only vertical I dive bomb and blow a hole through the ceiling to get close to 2 shot you in the face for example), and playing in the same room of noobs doing the same thing so it ends up easy as hell overall. I'm actually confident once the reviewers spend time with it and learn the mechanics and have those oh shit moments they'll really enjoy it, the lack of contents going to severely hurt it either way, so is the general downgrade no doubt about it but what's here is REALLY good. Just my overlylong 2 cents lol.
