Crackdown's Shai-Gen District Video Trailer!

Well kids, another day, another excellent Crackdown video. Games Radar has posted a new trailer that revolves around the Shai-Gen District, one of the 3 main districts/islands in Pacific City and home to the evil Shai-Gen Corporation.

I was pleasantly surprised to see many instances of playable, indoor environments, which is a great indication that the retail game will feature extensive indoor (and underground) areas that were not in the demo released last month. The architecture and general feel of the Shai-Gen district is quite different from the Los Muertos slums we've all laid waste to in the demo, so here's hoping the Volk island will be just as striking and distinct.

No real gameplay revelations are apparent in this video. The Shai-Gen gang bosses do look even more heavily defended, with elite-looking guards sporting some advanced weaponry. Taking one of these bosses down may not be as straight-forward an affair as it was with the Los Muertos heavies. I sincerely hope that, even with a fully-leveled Agent, they will force you to plan out some tactics in order to defeat these higher level bosses.

And finally, the music in the video rocks. Word from the Team Xbox forums suggests that the tune was produced by famed drum n' bass DJ, Dieselboy. Very cool.

**Important Note: Follow the link to the video and click on the image link on the Games Radar page that is labeled Crackdown - Shai-Gen District. You MUST do this, otherwise the video player will just play the PS3 advertisement, then stop.
