  • Summary: CrimeCraft is a Persistent World Next-gen Shooter (PWNS) that blends a gripping, action-packed shooter experience with the best community and role-playing elements found in massively multi-player games. CrimeCraft is set in a gritty fictional city of the near future, following an ecological disaster of unprecedented scale, where the price of life is far less valuable than one’s reputation. Join thousands of players online as you learn the rules of the street, build your own gang and do whatever it takes to survive amidst the chaos. Earn a reputation. Build a gang. Kill the competition.

  1. It's surprisingly rewarding to climb in levels and get a new gun only to trick it out with some mods and a new paint scheme, and for what the game lacks in complexity or a plot, it definitely makes up for it with its fast-paced and enjoyable gameplay.
  2. There are fun moments to be had, but it feels like a combination of different games forced together. There isn't anything terribly unique about it, and frankly, it really needs more game play content outside of the instances.
  3. An atrocious MMO wedded to a fleetingly enjoyable multiplayer shooter. Had Vogster just focused on the latter component, it might have had something worthwhile.

    This game is definatly on my list, the reason I give it a 10/10 without even playing is the fact that the videos and comments are exeptional and this game deserves what it gets although I found that the only thing wrong is paying monthly but then again, a lot of good games don't come free.

    it's not an awful game. It's not broken or ill-managed or carelessly developed. The graphics are around an 8.8 compared to current games, the animation is top notch, the sound design works very well; all of the game mechanics work really well. So, what's wrong with it? This game is what would happen if Planetside and World of Warcraft had a "child" and it grew up and became a chartered accountant, taking after both of them, but lacking all of the inspiration and fun that made his parents so likable and a success. I played this game for a few weeks and then moved on out of boredom, it's just not very fun, there is no variety at all. You can choose to play PvP or PvE but grinding in PvE is monotonous, and you never really get anywhere, the npcs level with you so only the best equipped players are successful in PvE. The skills they offer are boring and under-powered so PvP is decided mostly on who has the bigger gun. Most games consist of two people; people with Heavy Machine Guns who just hold down the fire button the whole time, or snipers who find their favorite spot and camp the whole game away; the game is balanced so those two strategies are the most effective, with grenade launchers in third. All in all there are only maybe 25 different maps, probably less and each of them is about the size of a standard Call of Duty MP map. All other things besides, the auctions, crafting, gangs etc. The core game play just isn't that fun, it doesn't have anything that makes me want to come back to it later. Expand

    A nice concept running on a great engine like the Unreal Engine 3 is, ruined by technical issues and a repetitive gameplay where you repeat the same quest over and over and earn so little that your time seem completely wasted. And now there is a free account, yes it's obviously a trial (where you can't craft, can't join guilds/gangs, ...) but when the entire game is based on PVP quest and without a premium account you can't kill anyone because they have overpowered items ... it's worse than you might think... It's a game in a beta stage, i think that they are making gamers pay for a beta. That's my experience on CrimeCraft. Expand
