* PoliceAreUseless: The entire point of creating the [[SuperSoldiers Agents]] is that the peacekeepers cannot stop the gangs themselves.
** Gets worse in the second, where they only have Assault Rifles. Said Assault Rifles are the weakest ones in the game.

* PoliceAreUseless: The PoliceAreUseless:
** In ''Crackdown'' the player can find the exterior of the Pacific City Police Department's abandoned station in La Mugre (Los Muertos territory) . Implying that all of the city's local law enforcement was massacred and/or exiled by the gangs when they took over.

** Arguably subverted in part by the revelation at the end of ''Crackdown'' that [[spoiler: The Agency ran law enforcement to the ground on purpose, in order to create the conditions for the gangs to take over as part of a plot to justify totalitarianism]].


Added DiffLines:

* TheBigGuy:
** The Agent even at the beginning of the game at the lowest level starts off with a relatively muscular body, and becomes outright enormous when the player levels up in agility and strength.
** Los Muretos' fitness instructor ''Rodrigo "Montana" Alvarez'', and The Volk's motor-man ''Igor "Rafik" Biragov'' are the largest non-Agent characters in ''Crackdown''. Both with comparable physiques to a Level 4 Agent (who is unnaturally large from super-soldier augmentations, suggesting that neither of the two had acquired their physiques without the assistance of steroids).
** The Volk's explosives expert ''Olga "Meat" Romanova'' is the largest female character in ''Crackdown'', and is heavily implied by the Agency Director in her dossier video to have acquired her physique through experimental steroids she started taking during her athletic past.

** The Agency Buggy introduced in Crackdown 1 downloadable content is the smallest vehicle in the game, is very lightweight, has excellent acceleration, traction, and suspension. These qualities let a player get the Buggy places other veiicles can't go, like inside gang stronghold buildings. The Buggy also has a GatlingGood machine gun turret with BottomlessMagazines. What makes the Buggy impractical is the total lack of protection it gives the driver, who is completely exposed to gunfire from every direction. What's worse the Buggy has a tendency to instantly explode when taking fire due to its relatively large and exposed gas tank. In short, the Buggy is a death-trap around enemy gunmen, who are almost everywhere in the city.

''Crackdown'' was met with positive reviews. What was particularly liked was how your Agent [[LevelUp levelled up]]. The Agent's five abilities, agility, firearms, strength, explosives, and driving, increase in power when you use them and unlock more cool stuff for you to use. For instance if you beat up a bunch of people you eventually get stronger and can lift heavy objects, or if you perform well in driving missions you get cooler cars. The ability people enjoyed most though was agility, which you filled up by collecting orbs on rooftops that made you faster and jump higher. So by the end of the game you go from a regular guy to a super cop who jumps effortlessly from rooftop to rooftop. [[JustOneMoreLevel And goddamn was it addictive collecting those orbs and jumping around.]]
