Crackdown demo impressions

I spent a little bit of time with the Crackdown demo and it's a lot better than I thought it was going to be.  I'm still getting used to the controls (took me a while to figure out that you can jump further by holding down the jump button).  I wasn't sure I was going to dig the cel shaded graphics but after seeing them in action I'm thinking it was a good choice, it really helps set the feel of the game.  i know it's a little thing but the voice over for the narrator is really good and again helps to sell the tone of the game.  I was kind of on the fence about the game before the demo but after playing it for a bit I'm starting to think Microsoft might have a nice little hit with this game.
