I could understand it being disruptive when we had both the ps3, 360, Wii thread and the Wii thread going at the same time, but posting had slowed on them quite a bit before they got moved.

I love that game! It's not a "GTA-clone" which is a good thing. Lot of originality in Crackdown although it's a very short game.

Overall, however, the game felt exactly the same as Vice City especially in the horrid fighting/shooting/aiming controls.

I hope IV addresses the third person perspective better in the way of not having to auto-aim behind yourself to shoot enemies.
If I recall correctly, Vice City still had to load when you crossed a bridge or sneezed or whatever, which SA didn't have, thankfully. Flying was also an absolute must with the sheer size of the map.

Did you ever do the two people on one ps2 multiplayer? My friends and I had hours of fun doing that.

Yeah I did that, but it's pretty lame. No real missions to do together, and you can't stray far from each other, plus the screen zooms out and it's just sorta annoying.

I bought a razor copperhead mouse recently, so now I can get headshots on hookers from three blocks away with the pistol while walking. I think the aiming on the PC (only via Boot Camp) is great.

Yay for you?! What does this have to do with anything?

It's about GTA, so it's relevant.

Agreed.

The two player rampages were golden though, particularly since I loved being the driver.
