Fight Crime with Crackdown Fan Site Kit

Cracking down on crime has never been easier as Microsoft Game Studios announced the release of the Crackdown™ Fan Site Kit. The 64 MB kit is available now for download at the game's official community site, www.crackdownoncrime.com. This exciting kit contains all the tools necessary to build a crime-busting fan site, including screenshots, renders, forum avatars, desktop wallpapers, and much more.

Crackdown pushes the action-driving hybrid genre into the next generation with the first ever truly 3-D playground. Gamers can enforce justice by any means necessary in Pacific City, a crime-ridden urban environment designed specifically to encourage the exploration of its full width, depth, and height. Coupled with highly innovative co-op gameplay—a genre first—and an interactive world where nearly anything can be used as a weapon, gamers will be able to deal out justice however they see fit as they work clean up the streets.

Crackdown is developed by Scotland’s Real Time Worlds exclusively for Microsoft Game Studios and the Xbox 360™ platform. Real Time Worlds is led by Dave Jones, the creative mastermind behind some of the most innovative and best-selling video games ever, including the global blockbuster Grand Theft Auto series and the legendary hit Lemmings.
