Well, it’s been a fun and violently informative journey. But we’ve come to the last of our eight culprits of criminal crackdown. Our final spotlight of the Crackdown roster takes us to the tribal looking berserker, the Maori Agent. He’s big, he has evil looking facepaint, and he wears steel-spikes in his hair. And just because he's last doesn't mean isn't the craziest Agent of them all.
Being crazy is more-so a matter of choice, though. Crackdown isn’t the sort of game that typifies a player’s actions into forced choices. For instance, if a player ends up in a shootout, they don’t have to end it with bullets. There’s the choice to melee attack; to throw objects at the enemy; roll them over in a vehicle; toss them in a dumpster; or just plain run away. The choices and freedoms afforded to players in Crackdown are numerous...and they become even more abundant when playing the game on-line. The coop mode in Crackdown can be played like a cooperative-campaign, or it can be played like a competitive-campaign. So this way players still have a choice how they play with one another in Crackdown. What’s more is that everything that was possible in the single-player campaign can also be used, done, or executed in the multiplayer modes. From racing down the streets in supped-up cars, to dueling with bad guys while leaping off buildings and jumping across rooftops, Crackdown’s multiplayer is poised to be seriously fun. And if you like playing crazy cops, I don’t see why you wouldn’t enjoy playing as the Maori Agent. Built like a brick wall and ready to hand out a butt-whopping at the blink of an eye, this Agent is a natural combatant that was bread to Crackdown on crime. You can check out his bio, courtesy of RealTime Worlds, and some screenshots below. Crackdown for the Xbox 360 is an exclusive title due out in the first quarter of 2007. Maori Agent: Didn’t want this one to fall to traditional tribal cliche, so we modernized the approach through the use of tattoos and steel spikes woven throughout the hair.
