Its Biz Time.

I've been spending a decent chunk of my free time lately with Crackdown, leaping tall buildings, kicking armored cars and still wondering why the game didn't come out here under its Japanese release name, Riot Act. That and wishing that the game's admittedly pretty good soundtrack was present for more of the game. Its only there when you're driving a car, and driving a car is probably one of the least gratifying things to do in the game. Good thing its an Xbox 360 game, which means that having my own music, all the time is only an ipod USB cable away.

So last night I fired up the game with the soundtrack for Jet Set Radio Future, and suddenly the game became ten times better. If you don't remember, or never experienced it, JSRF was all about using your maneuverability to get to all kinds of places you ever thought you'd be able to get to, especially while wearing a pair of rollerblades. It also had a pretty top notch soundtrack of really unique music. And since you're really doing much of the same stuff here, most of the time, it totally works and it brings it all back.

So yeah, try it. It's even better than that Wizard of Oz and Dark Side of the Moon thing, if for no other reason that Dorothy never threw a dump truck at people, but you can.
