HVGN: Game Quickie: Crack Down

[wafflemen911]

I like your videos

[TheNintendo101]

CRACK DOWN CRACK DOWN CRACK DOWN

[bearsaremyfav]

Your collection...dayum.

[TheNintendo101]

what's it called? CRACK DOWN

[Ponimaju]

on that "small window view", one game that suffered really badly from that was zero tolerance on the genesis. the first person window was tiny, but it the game probably wouldn't have ran without it being like that; the game feels like it runs so slow as it is

[ProtestantsRUs]

Sounds like a decent enough game, however, I doubt it comes up the modern games of Crackdown. Shame you North Americans can't buy it whereas we Europeans can, though, so ha!

CWACK DOWW

[SchlossRitter]

This looks like a single player 8-16 bit version of Counterstrike (the bomb maps).

[AJFedora]

1:16 was he jackin' off? 0.o? eww

[chrisietheblack]

you should so team up with the AVGN

[3afterPM]

Lamer than bill and lance or Billy and Jimmy?

[RLmike1234]

@3afterPM Or according to DD3, BIMMY and Jimmy

[blank21121]

@RLmike1234 lol.

[applemetatin1]

what a stupid irate gamer rip off

[AJFedora]

@applemetatin1 lol sarcasm!

[OneTrueBelmont]

2:24 "Bite to death"? One wonders if the creator of that manga Reborn! played this game since that's what one of the characters says before preparing to kick ass.

[doppleganger4827]

HAHA! I was thinking it was weird that he was reviewing a 360 game, but he got me at the beginning! I thought this game was awkward when I tried it on the Sonic Collection, because of the different look compared to the other games. It reminds me of a bunch of PC RPGs & Adventure games back in the day. I'll probably give both games a try sometime.

[guiveillette81]

Maybe someone pointed this out before, but Crack Down is on Steam.

[lophatjello]

@guiveillette81 someone did point that out to me. so, i mentioned it in this very video you're commenting on.

[ff2paladin]

HEY! My name is Andy, and I was a federal agent.

[dreamgamer13]

0:37 SO MANY GAMES

[krlspvp]

Axelay for the snes plox

[Dusntman]

Unfollow asshole

[MinionPoopsYou]

@Dusntman eh?

[Dusntman]

@MinionPoopsYou  YES

[fightclubhubbs]

Its not soldier of fortune.... Its Chaos Engine!  They just changed the name for the crappy snes & genesis port.

But great video as always. I mised out on this game.

[TheRogueMonk]

second game is not good caue the story issett arround zombies :( well it can be good but it could be better as well

[therealmetroidmaniac]

For those who don't know what Steam is, it's an application for Windows and Mac OS X that you can buy and download games from. It's free to make an account on Steam.

[catholiccontriversy]

$3 download cheaper than the $5 you'd spend for the cartrige game. But I'm just going off average price.

[MrJoshuaSalway1990]

Why do people keep complaining about the ''GAME QUICKIE!'' yell? It's not a big deal and complaining about this is like complaining about the "SEGA!" shout at the beggining of a Sonic the hedgehog game. Geez.

[jordanv78]

I always love your vids dude! Crackdown for the Genesis is a fun game. I still love popping it into my Genesis from time to time.

[interghost]

Nice review, well put together and really nice lenght. Like the 'to the point' approach thanks ;o)

[ColeDavis94]

crackdown on the 360 was the game that converted me to next gen, such good times playing that game...crackdown and fable 2, are the only games i miss my 360 for (have a ps3 now)

[FendersRule]

Derek- I'm a huge fan of yours! You, AVGN, and The Nostalgia Critic are all high quality entertainment.

It will be the day though, when you can get around to reviewing Punisher for the NES (It's awesome)...and it's made by LJN :)

[Hazard590]

its 3 bucks on steam because steam is so much better than consoles... just sayin

[2brello]

@Hazard590 That's why? Nothing to do with licensing or approval processes, it's all because steam is better.  Thanks for clearing that up.

[Hazard590]

@2brello exactly duh how does someone NOT know that?!?

[nisbahmumtaz909]

@Hazard590

Oh wow. Even in the internet, the hint of sarcasm within the last comment was PLAINLY OBVIOUS.

Without some incriminating elucidation as to how Steam would have a height vantage point in the PC games industry, we cannot easily come to a narrow-minded conclusion that [item is good] is better than [obscure item].

[ravemetalhead]

I used to play this game ALL THE TIME! Glad it's getting mentioned now; brings a smile to my face.

[eyedam]

I remember playing this as a kid. Back in the day it was way too hard for me. But now I ant to give it another go.

[NovaHyou]

wow, this video brought back some memories...I used to play this game on the sega genesis and having a great time because of it.

I've never played the new ones cause I don't own an X360 (or an Xbox for that matter); but I'm sure I'll check them out eventually.

[Vintagecoats]

I feel you'll sucker in a lot of Crackdown lovers with this little maneuver good sir, so hopefully you'll hook 'em and we'll be able to keep 'em around! XD

[RogueRholm]

Ooh that is one game (the Sega version) that I will definitely pick somewhere. Never heard of it before! Many thanks, Derek.

[davenewcomb]

This game looks pretty awesome, wow I've never heard of this

[MinionPoopsYou]

MISTER ALEXANDER! im curious, what kind of Capture Card (or screen recorder PERIOD do you use?)

youve inspired me to do my own HAPPY retro review show, (giving credit to you and the Angry one of course) and i need a method to do such :P

[lophatjello]

@MinionPoopsYou I've had terrible luck with hard drives, i don't use a capture card. all my live action stuff is on tape and all my game footage is on dvdr's.

[MinionPoopsYou]

@lophatjello so you just record it on a DVDr from your TV? that must be a pain

[xainRM]

@MinionPoopsYou Make sure you use unregistered hypercam, that's a really good one.

[MinionPoopsYou]

@xainRM im not recording it from my PC, to do it legally and professionally, it needs to be done off a TV

[xainRM]

@MinionPoopsYou Right...

[MrILOVEBEINGPURPLE]

@MinionPoopsYou You could use Camtasia Studio to record the screen.

[redroweneht]

You have a very soothing voice, great for voice overs.

p.s. Im not gay

[posthumanfetus]

Okay you got me in the beginning because I really thought you were going to review Crackdown, but instead you reviewed Crack Down. It was clever but, yeah I should have probably seen that coming.

[leaphe]

Im guessing their names are the thing above what you said, and their weapons are the ones you mention:P

[peterthekingofpie]

this episode could use some more pancakes...

[psyjax]

Clip at 1:41 isn't soldier of fortune, it's "The Chaos Engine"

[tadcool]

@psyjax Same game, man. Same game.

[uglypinkmoose]

the mini window would bug the hell out of me... watching it bugs me

mario karts is half screen not a quarter

[StopDropAndROFL]

ben :|

[goffmen]

Derek.... what happen to you man... you use to be cool... game quickie is just not cutting it anymore .... but still keep up the good work

[gumbyx84]

1:00 What concept? He hasnt talked about the game yet.

[MarioNintendoh]

I'm addicted to happy-nerdiness!

[alexisironman]

ballsacks and dicks

[superluigi6499]

thank you very much i never wouldve guessed that crackdown was originally on sega genesis :)

[Axelsama]

ah crack down on megadrive one of my faves games of all time so many hours gone playing it and all worth it

[strivinglife]

Welcome back.

[MasterMonsters]

i thought you stopped making videos

[Kagemusha08]

Damn you! Had me thinking you were abandoning the "Forgotten Gems of the Past" for the "Mildly Successful Gems of Four Years Ago."

And this is going to be very random, but ever play Tomba! for the PS1? Seems like the kind of game you'd love, especially given its from Tokuro Fujiwara.

[derdude]

you also have fans in europe, hvgn!

[curiouscolt81]

kinda funny that classic gamign room also reviewed the original crackdown.

[DrGnockerz]

I'll check that game out sometime.

[OttoeCamn]

Wow, i really tought it was the Crackdown for Xbox, but also i was liike: no.. . it can't be

[finalkamehamehaflash]

Derek, be honest... you are inspired by the avgn right?

[lophatjello]

@finalkamehamehaflash have i ever denied it?

[finalkamehamehaflash]

@lophatjello no you havent but i just wanted to know...

[Decklocation]

@finalkamehamehaflash That has to be the silliest question I have ever read on one of Derek's videos!

[finalkamehamehaflash]

@Decklocation silly me!

[z0diak1990]

@finalkamehamehaflash

Hmm, lets see.

HVGN... AVGN...

Happy... Angry.... hmm...

[finalkamehamehaflash]

@z0diak1990 i know! its deep right?!

[Locomamonk]

@finalkamehamehaflash lol, is it your first hvgn? that's really old news man, watch the earlier episodes

[posthumanfetus]

@finalkamehamehaflash Be honest... your username is inspired by Dragonball, right?

[finalkamehamehaflash]

@posthumanfetus :C yes...

[posthumanfetus]

@finalkamehamehaflash haha just joshing ya. But yeah, Derek is actually a pretty big fan of AVGN. We all are. 

[MinionPoopsYou]

@finalkamehamehaflash look at the credits of all HVGN videos, hes not a douche like the irateguy

[VoidKeeper]

when I saw the picture I was like wha? then I saw the cartridge and went aaaah =P

[sdragon21]

Do you think you could do a HVGN episode or a game quicke on Chrono Cross???

I'd love to hear your opinion on this game, since i found a copy and am about an hour or so in.

[CJ076]

0:43-0:49 made me laugh so hard. I love old school games too.

[fmdof]

i like finally getting to see your game collection at the beginning. Not to bad at all bro. Bigger than mine fo sho!

[elcarohw]

cheers bro as alway you bring the good when you do the review and this was such a great game back in the day cheers my friend awesome review and a huge thumbs up talk to you later cya !!!!!

[PlatypusGuitar]

your reviews are great. i wish you could post more often but this way, when we do get a video, its a treat :)

[GameKingMartin]

it succks that you dont make as mutch vids. but I love them so mutch :D

I like it when pplz review good games and not crappy ones for once

[pedroatmc]

I really enjoy your reviews, man. One of the first video reviews I saw from you was the Wild Guns review and right after that I couldn't believe that I skipped that game, so I called my friend and we played the hell out of it.

Keep up the excellent work and review lots of games for us :)

[nensondubois]

Stupid region lock barriers. I'd buy the original cart instead.

[brokenglass126]

Quack Dawn?

[Sye909]

As long as we're on topic, am i the only one who felt like crackdown 2 was more like DLC than a brand new game that took several years to develop ? The first one was godly, the second just adds a few weapons, zombies and dilapidated landmarks. *twirls a finger in mock-excitement*

[imdaltino]

QUACK DOWN

[blader09111]

this reminds me of counterstrike. putting bombs on red x's. lol. but ive never played it. thank GOD this is on steam, maybe i can get a fr and somone could gift me cstrike or tf2.

[NoName1325]

the crackdown on the xbox is fucking stupid

[ritcheyz]

@NoName1325 Nope.

[betabenja]

please pay respects to chaos engine now!

[CFkimahri]

Soldiers of Fortune? What is this silly mockery of The Chaos Engine?!

uh... anyway...

[ShadyHitchhiker]

@CFkimahri I was going to say something similar, but I assume you're PAL region like me?

Soldier of Fortune was probably localised as "The Chaos Engine" in our area.

Much like Contra became "Super Probotector Alien Rebels"

and Starfox/64 became Starwing/Lylat Wars

We don't always get the BEST names

[CFkimahri]

@ShadyHitchhiker Yeah, Pal as well. Thing is for TCE I think it was called Soldiers of fortune for the Megadrive and Snes over here as well.

Don't quote me on that though...

[Jsdancer]

nice....awesome vid...

[Jaketele]

What the fuck. Classic sega genesis games on steam? Holy shit this is new.

[809Ollie]

@Jaketele my guess is that its the arcade version

[PlatformerMastah]

Man, I just never get tired of the "GAME QUICKIE!!" shout at the end of every episode.

[lophatjello]

@PlatformerMastah THANK YOU! YOU'RE VERY KIND!!!

[Chantumon]

@lophatjello I much prefer the feminine voice that said Game Quickie. Did you scrap that one because of possible sexual connotations?

[lophatjello]

@Chantumon I never used it in my Quickies, Norm and the other guys did. They stopped using it because that voice was of an old girlfriend of Norm's. After they broke up, I think she asked him not to use it any more. Interesting note: I recall a lot of people commenting on how annoying it was. Eh, you can't please everyone.

[avenger919]

@Chantumon

what game quickie was the femine voice used for?

[RichieEastside]

Nice to see you posting again!

[ZeroTakenaka]

The Guardian Legend pleeeeeeeeeease?

[NadrianATRS]

hey it's cool seeing u back again, I haven't seen a new video of yours in a while

[Nemesis986]

mrfrosticles has better GQ IMO. why ?cuz that sexy beginning voice.

[TheyCallMeTheSwede]

QUACKDOWN!!!

[sethguy45]

Looks like a great game! I think I'll probably buy it off of steam

[iphone3gs78]

looks like a game that should be on the NES

[zeldamaster52]

lol wen i saw the thumbnail i was like wtf

[wingedmario64]

@UltimateCharm That has nothing to do with HVGN, spread that in places where it FITS.

[drcay]

i think this game is coming to XBLA

[NeotericThree]

Good stuff, as usual. Crackdown 2 is more of the same, I guess some people dig that though.

[809Ollie]

@NeotericThree did u even watch the vid?

[Cryroth]

i agree with you but CD2 is just bad imo

[809Ollie]

@Cryroth did u even watch this vid?

[Cryroth]

@809Ollie im putting a reference not to the old crack down game but the x360 version . if you could read actually and listen to him till the end but i dont think you did

[809Ollie]

@Cryroth yea ofcourse i did he barely mentioned it.
