The player takes on the role of one of their Agents, and is tasked with systematically bringing down all three organized gangs, while keeping both the populace and Peacekeepers safe. The city, therefore, sought additional help from "the Agency," an organization that, in addition to outfitting and supporting Peacekeepers, has used advanced surgical and cybernetic technology to create Super Soldiers known as "Agents." The Agency is based out of a former hotel in the very center of the city. Normally, a police-like organization called the Peacekeepers kept the city under control their forces, however, were overwhelmed by the sudden rise in crime. The city is controlled by three crime organizations: Los Muertos, of Central American origin an Eastern European gang, the Volk and the formerly above-the-books Shai-Gen Corporation, from East Asia. The game takes place in the fictional metropolis of Pacific City, whose several districts and areas are divided among four islands. An open world, third-person shooter video game for the Xbox 360, Crackdown was for a time, famous for being the game you had to buy in order to get into the Halo 3 beta.
