2. I just finished playing a game. The control system is weird, at first I was trying to take control of the planes and do the bomb runs myself.. bad idea. Instead use the x button to command the squadron to do what you want, then sit back and watch the show. You can drive the planes/boats/subs if you want, but the AI does a better job than me.

3. Cool, I really like these kinds of games.

I love the little guys running around on the decks on the ships, its blast on multiplayer if your friends are playing. Controls seem complex at first but after you get over the learning curve its all good, kind of like Lord Of the Rings Battle For Middle Earth II controls. It’s a lot of fun if you like these kinds of battles.

I will defiantly buy this once it comes out, plus a few of my friends as well.

4. I haven't even played the demo yet, but I'm pretty sure it can't compete with a game that lets you throw cars and wack people with light poles. And whoever's in charge of the ol' Xbox Live spotlight thing didn't get the memo that the Crackdown demo won't be out today, because I keep seeing that damn "Download the Demo Today" picture thing. Are they taunting me?

5. The demo is crap. Lobby is confusing and SLOW. Graphics are very last gen and to top it all off, it froze mine and a few others consoles..

6. jay-

i'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion of the lobby being confusing and slow. you pick what tem you want, then what you want to control and click ready. it seems to me that a 3 step process is pretty simplified. as for being slow? you got me on that one, maybe your connection was not so good.

10. This game is going to be great. No crashing problems here and I played it all day.

11. Game crashes constantly for me after games but it's still a great game.

12. Guys, it crashes mine alot, I find if you use quit game once the game is over rather than allow it to do it itself you get around the issue.

As for the game itself, personally I find it highly fun, although i too am not if it is maybe a little slow.

Certainly the tactics side of things is highly entertaining!

13. D/L and played about 3 rounds. Controls were really complex. Flying was cool, but a little boring, felt like all my opponents were so far, needed more action. Also controlled the battleship, blasted a few planes. Not much fun my first go around, but I'll give it a few more shots.

14. Is it just me or does it seem that this demo is causing my 360 to stop functioning, thus requireing a reboot?
