Crackdown: The next 1 million seller

Most of the general public has never heard of Crackdown, but recently it has been announced that a Halo 3 beta invite will be included with every copy. Since the hype for Halo 3 is so incredibly huge, I can guarantee you that this game will sell well over 1 million copies. I just hope people take the time to enjoy this game because it is getting very positive press from a lot of sites. Xboxyde.com has a great write up for it here. Basically, the game is a GTA clone with a twist [don't they all have a twist?]. You are a "good guy" but you have super powers that allow you to perform great feats such as superhuman strength, leaping from buildings, etc. You can get experience and level your character up through different attributes. The game has a comic book feel to it that some people may not like, and the whole world looks over stylized. Multiplayer will consist of online co-op, but no deathmatch or team based online multiplay has been announced. Official release date is Feb 20th, 2007.
