Crackdown: Climb the Agency Tower ... in a SUV?

Climbing the Agency Tower in Crackdown can be difficult, especially if you miss a jump and fall hundreds of feet to your sure death. But what if you could safely drive up the tower, you know, plop your four tires on the building's exterior and Spider Man your way up to the top. Well, it looks like it is possible as 007craft discovered a bug where he can climb the Agency Tower with his SUV. Check out his video above to see how he accomplished this amazing feat, but be sure to note that you'll need a four star driver rating to replicate it. If you've found a cool Crackdown exploit or bug and wish to share, feel free to send us a tip ... we have a soft spot for Crackdown bugs.

That is one the coolest thing i've seen this week. How the hell this guy though about trying this?
DjDATZ @ Mar 5th 2007 5:20PM
OH MY GOD! i can't wait to try this out. talk about a fast efficient way to get to the top?

Its not a bug the SUV is suppost to climb walls at 4*
Abe Froman @ Mar 5th 2007 5:37PM
I'm not the first to say it, but it bears repeating:
There is no bug or exploit at work here. The SUV is supposed to be able to drive up walls at 4-star level. This is no more an exploit than being able to climb/jump up buildings.
Nice video, though.

My question is how did he get the SUV to the top of the Agency Island. I cant get it "fit" through the holes in the roof...
mike @ Mar 5th 2007 5:41PM
I've got 4 stars in driving-- when you hold b and drive into a wall with the pimped out SUV, it will go up the wall.
The only thing is that after a while it will fall back off the wall, and you have to time another button press just right for it to grab onto the wall again. I couldn't get it to stick for long, but this guy is really good at it-- the weird camera angle makes it even harder. He should have driven up the taller one, though, and if he landed the SUV on top, he could have jumped even higher for crazy air.

Actually the SUV being able to climb verticle surfaces was originally a glitch but they kept it because it was BA. I read it on Wikipedia.
mike @ Mar 5th 2007 6:00PM
wow my video was posted, and I didnt even send a tip in, horray.
I didnt discover any bug tho, I mearly read online that you could climb walls by pushing and holding B just as the car starts coming off the wall. Then I applied my new found knowledge and climbed the agency tower. I tried more stuff and actually was able to get up again, but this time with the Car ontop of the tower. I forgot to take a video but you can do it by releaseing the gas as you get near the top so your car slows down

You read it on wikipedia? Lol. That's funny seeing how any random ass person can submit information to wikipedia.
Chris @ Mar 5th 2007 6:12PM
"# According to an interview by TeamXbox, one of the Agency SUV's special abilities, driving up vertical surfaces, was a result of a glitch. It was brought to the developer's attention by a game tester, but was ultimately decided to be included in the final product.[11]"

Wikipedia is better than you.
Chris @ Mar 5th 2007 6:13PM
Oh and note the "11". The any random ass person that submitted the info also submitted a link to show where they got the info.
Choob @ Mar 5th 2007 7:47PM
Yeah nice. I was just looking there too. Read that whole interview just for the hell of it. I wish proof of information was always required.
Tim @ Mar 5th 2007 7:55PM
Most things that require citation will state such at the end of the paragraph. Lots of stuff does. Just have to look for the little numbers.
BowserUSC @ Mar 5th 2007 7:59PM
F*cking writers piss me off. It's been said before but obviously this isn't a glitch. If only the writers had some common sense and thought before spouting out whatever comes to mind first. How bout instead of just looking at this a job that you have to do, you show some interest for the website and respect for it's readers and not make blatently stupid mistakes and give out completely false information.

I once saw a bug where a guy was riding around in his car except his car was invisible. It was hilarious so I followed him around and eventually the car he was in showed up.
At which point I threw his ass out of the car and then threw the witchcraft vehicle into the ocean. That'll teach him!
No gangs in my town, no sir! And no witches either!

My Xbox is in the shop right now so I've only got about 3 stars on most things.. How do you actually get the SUV across the water to the Agency tower? or can the SUV drive in water??
Type105x @ Mar 6th 2007 3:13AM
DeadPlasmaCell the SUV starts at the tower ;P
Dr Frankenjam @ Mar 6th 2007 4:44AM

You are clearly unstable. Please see a doctor before you hurt yourself or others. May I recommend you look into the following anti-psychotic medications:
Ziprasidone
Clozaril
Risperdal
Abilify
Seroquel
Zyprexa
Either that, or ask you mommy to give you a hug when you get home from 10th grade.
