Team Xbox has a firstlook at the CrackdownCrackdown reviews free updates as well as the updates you will have to pay for.

1. 3 new vehicles
2. Street racing
3. 4 new weapons, including a minigun and a harpoon gun
4. Cloaking device
5. Max Agility Rooftop Races
6. Stockpile, an orb-hunting game
7. Checkpoint Chase: a two-player game that requires you to hunt for a point on the map that only pops up on the tracker
8. Rocket tag

Now, I am a fan of the game, even if it did get a bit boring after extended play. Some of these free updates are great and will definitely give the game some legs and will even get me to fire it back up. I may wait to see what the word is on the Premium additions as that comes out to about 10 bucks. But what worries me is that it seems as if some of the achievements can only be had if you buy the Premium content. If that is the case, I will not be a happy camper. Especially since I thought that was not allowed.
