I do think Riot Act is a better name for the game than Crackdown, personally...

I guess this is getting back at us for making one of the Persona 1 characters black?

The black guy isnt even the main character, since you can choose who you want to be. Also Riot Act sounds like a better name.

I think it's actually pretty cool that Microsoft got Monkey Punch (creator of Lupin The 3rd) to create the artwork for the Japanese version...

You get to choose your race in this game? Are there any differences?

No, it's just a skin.  And you get prompted to download some more skins when you boot up the game for the first time.  There's no "main character" in Crackdown.  I wouldn't be surprised to see more skin types added, maybe less-human looking guys and some females.

It was already stated quite a while ago that Rockstar was going to use the black guy for Western releases and an Asian guy for the Japanese release.  What's funny is that the black guy IS on the back of the box.  The Riot Act artwork is quite a contrast to the game art...

BTW you get "Riot Act" on the title screen when you play the game, but your XBox Live status and achievements will be listed under "Crackdown" instead.   :)
