Mean Machines
Crackdown was a fun coin-op to play, and more than reminiscent of the Gauntlet series. The Megadrive version retains almost all of the arcade's playability, but with slightly smaller graphics - hardly surprising, considering the size of the coin-op's screen! The sound is good, and fits the bill nicely - lots of explosions and the like. If you enjoyed the coin-op, you'll certainly enjoy this, so go forth now and purchase it pronto.

What else is there to say? The presentation is weaker (I do miss that cool arcade intro!), and the visuals and sound aren't the best. In fact, the sound is downright bad. The gameplay - what really matters - is rock solid, and playing with a buddy makes a massive difference. There's some great fun to be had here friends, so find yourself a copy and get cracking!

Die Grafik ist schlicht, aber übersichtlich und die Spielbarkeit dadurch gut. Schön, daß man auch zu zweit antreten kann, aber dann wird die Grafik manchmal langsamer. Im nachhinein verdient U.S. Gold einen dicken Rüffel, denn deren Heimcomputerversionen von Crackdown waren wesentlich schlechter: Die anscheinend sehschwachen Programmierer hatten hier alle Grafikelemente zu groß dargestellt und damit die Übersichtlichkeit empfindlich beschnitten – selten dämlich. Wohl dem, der ein Mega Drive hat...

All Game Guide
Considering the time of release, Crack Down is a fun, strangely addictive game that combines some strategy along with the action. Each level becomes more difficult than the last, with an increasing variety of enemies and dangers such as bottomless pits or acid pools. The fact that you must often avoid the enemy is a refreshing change of pace from the mindless shooting in similar action titles.

Objectif-SEGA
Avec seulement trois niveaux la durée de vie est extrêmement courte. Une fois le jeu fini, on n'a pas franchement envie d'y retourner. Allez savoir pourquoi, j'avais acheté ce jeu à l'époque (en version jap) et je m'étais bien amusé avec mon frère. Je l'avais trouvé amusant et finir un jeu en moins de 30mn m'a toujours fait bien rire. Malheureusement je ne peux honnêtement pas le conseiller à plus de un euro. Sachez qu'on peut trouver également ce titre sur Virtual Console de la Wii (pour la modique somme de 9 euros !!!!).
