"This is a good and relaxing game for older gamers who want to unwind and enjoy a fast paced world that is also casual, either alone or with friends. ‘Crackdown 3’ is perfect for anyone who only has short amounts of time to spare or is looking for a game with lots of replay value." ...

"Ultimately, none of the flaws in Crackdown 3 are deal-breakers but they hold it back from being truly great. If you can look past them, and just enjoy Crackdown 3 for what it is: a game that gives you a wacky toolset to blast enemies away for 10-20 hours or more, then you'll definitely find value and fun here." ...

"In the end, Crackdown 3 isn’t a bad game. It’s just... fine. It’s largely inoffensive, the combat is generally OK, the driving is harmlessly average. Graphically, the game looks alright and retains the finely cel-shaded look adopted by the 2005 game. It’s a fun enough to spend a couple hours with at any given time, be it hunting orbs or taking down Terra Nova facilities. I imagine it’d be even better with friends, being one of those games that’s fun to meet up and just goof around for a little bit. The thing is, though, Crackdown 3 feels stuck in 2005. Hero-based open world games, like Spider-Man, Just Cause, hell, even Skyrim and Grand Theft Auto, have either pushed the genre further in their own ways or made playing around in sandboxes fun, fast, and thrilling. Crackdown 3 isn’t bad, it just drives aggressively down the middle of the road." ... Read full review

"The game isn’t the visual masterpiece one would expect from a AAA production, but it isn’t without its charm. It’s with Wrecking Zone that Sumo Digital stretches their wings thanks to the chaos of destructible environments, but the glaring lack of content and missing features makes it more of a curiosity rather than a fully fleshed out mode." ...

Worth Playing
Feb 19, 2019
"When it comes right down to it, everything in Crackdown 3 is by-the-numbers game design, and the end result is not more than the sum of its parts. There are hints of good ideas in Crackdown 3, but the end product isn't worth the $60 purchase. Unless you're getting it free with your Game Pass subscription, you're better off downloading the original game (currently free for all) and playing that instead." ... Read full review

"Crackdown 3 is a severely outdated sandbox title that neither pushes boundaries or evolves itself in any way. While it puts an emphasis on gameplay, the game does the absolute bare minimum to provide any entertainment for the player and, instead, creates a 20-hour-long headache." ... Read full review

Everyone loves to hate a game but this is genuinely REALLY GOOD, SOLID FUN! The weapons are great and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. It was never going to be RDR2, but for good reason. It’s a game that indulges in collecting and powering up! Simple, clean, good solid fun.

...and coop is a blast :) should have made it 4 player though… Expand

i would definitely give the game at least an 8.0 but gave it a 10.0 to counteract some of the negative Pony trolls.
This game is fun Fun FUN.
For the low IQ small brains out there, a game does not have to be photo-realistic to be super fun. It doesn't have to have the best story line to be fun.
When you start a game and you can't put it down for 4 hours....THAT is what fun is.
The traversal is spot on. The controls are tight 99% of the time. I did notice a little glitch when picking something up and trying to throw it. Sometimes my character won't actually release it. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
But one way that I know a game is high quality is when I literally get vertigo playing it. When climbing the propaganda towers I get such a sense of vertigo that I have to change the camera angle so that I can't look down. Its scary and thrilling, and fun all at the same time.
game is FUN FUN FUN. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!… Expand

But I think that tells a story really. Critics want deep games with complex skill trees, RPG elements, an engaging story. Crackdown isn't really for them at all. It's for people like me who remember when games were about fun and escapism more than the other things listed above. There is a basic story line but it doesn't really matter. This game is about shooting the heck out of everything that moves and collecting orbs. It's the gaming equivalent of the TV show '24' - pure exhilarating fun. What the critics are looking for is 'House of Cards' and this was NEVER going to fulfil that need. I have played a few hours and I really enjoy this game. Yes there is repetition but show me an open world game that doesn't have that. If you're the kind of gamer that loves collect-em-ups then likely the repetition won't bother you at all. I would score this game a solid 9/10… Expand

Sure there isn't anything particularly innovative going on here, and sure perhaps it does feel a little out of its time period. But god damn if Crackdown 3 isn't addicting as hell. The controls are tight and precise, the gun play is engaging enough, and the orb collecting is still a pleasing factor.

Now as far as story goes, there is not much here, but if you walk into this game and accept it for what it is ( a mindless platforming, orb collecting, super hero shooter) then I guarantee you will easily burn through 15 to 20 hours of Crackdown 3 with a smile on your face.

Again, Crackdown 3 is a bit of mixed bag in terms of innovation, but there is something niche about staying in your element...… Expand

I've only played the campaign so far and for someone who quit playing agents of mayhem 20 minutes after starting it because I thought it was stupid and pointless its actually still better than this. Unlike state of decay 2 though this game is clean, I've hardly had any glitches or tech issues, Terry jumps. runs and drives with great ease and the shooting mechs are ok. Shame another LETDOWN by MS.… Expand
