    Not a 2019 game , how this took five years to develop is beyond me.

    Uma decepção total, o jogo pode ter o gráfico que for tendo uma boa direção de arte, isso esse jogo não tem. Jogabilidade repetitiva, o jogo parece datado, não recomendo pra quem quer se divertir, história rasa e bem chata, decepção pra quem comprou o xbox one X para jogara jogos com gráficos realistas e história profunda. 1 ponto para Microsoft por lançar no gamepass e me fazer economizarUma decepção total, o jogo pode ter o gráfico que for tendo uma boa direção de arte, isso esse jogo não tem.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Luminosidade horrível, o jogo é só escalada, modo historia medíocre, único ponto positivo a dublagem, obrigação de farmar para prosseguir forçando o jogador que já está insatisfeito ficar mais insatisfeito ainda. Expand

    5 anos de desenvolvimento para se ter o maior downgrade dessa geração, multiplayer sem party, gráficos fracos e jogo enjoativo.

    O maior lixo já feito na industria dos jogos. Jogo extremamente bugado, queda de frames, multiplayer que até então é o foco não funciona direito, poder da nuvem que não funciona tbm, um completo lixo.
    5 anos pra isso? hahahaha que bosta

    It's pretty hard to admit but...this game sucks in so many ways that It would be impossible to describe each one! There's no physics system... the buildings explode as if they were made of styrofoam or something like this...Characters expressions are ridiculous. Storytelling? Forget about it.... Microsoft, I want my money back!

    sinceramente como a Microsoft conseguiu ferrar mais uma franquia.
    não entendo como a MICROSOFT teve coragem de lançar esse jogo.
    O single-player é mediano pra ruim mas o multiplayer e uma prova da incompetência sem tamanho da MICROSOFT.

    This would pass as an OK mobile game but is absolutely inexcusable for a modern console release at $60. $10 is a more fair price. The quality just isn't there.

    Nunca me aburri tanto jugando un juego multijugador, es sorprendente cómo incumple todo lo que prometieron, es asombroso lo tedioso que es repetir la misma misión una y otra vez y sobre todo, es asombroso que existan usuarios que puntuen 10 a este bodrio.

    If you've played the previous Crackdown games, you have a certain expectation. Jump around in a pseudo destructible environment killing gang bosses before taking on the big boss, or (which is the unique crackdown quality) going to take on the big boss right away.

    You can do those things in this game... just worse than the previous, in a smaller game box, with no destructible buildings,

    It's like Microsoft told the devs to not make the game they advertised.

    Play Crackdown 1 it's a far superior game.

    I had enough for 20 minutes of the game. No Russian localization. This disrespect for the players from Russia. The game itself in the style of toon, complete nonsense. That you transferred the release date there is not clear. Such games are not worth the money they ask for.

    It's just not worth your time. Starts pretty good but after couple of hours starts to be boring. One of these games who over time become increasingly worse and even more boring. Mindless "fun".

I hope they release a mega DLC and say, surprise here is the other two thirds of the game. The spider car is a piece of junk, no increase of gunplay abilities like faster reload, bigger mags, etc. I really can't possibly imagine what took them so long, when they already had most of the framework and architecture coded, the content just is not there, on the level of something almost being fishy about it...

    O jogo é bem repetitivo, me chegou a lembrar quando platinei infamous no ps4.
    Libere varias áreas até ir para um chefão. O jogo infelizmente não entregou o que prometeu todos esses anos e pode decepcionar os fãs do xbox...

    crackdown 3 feels like someone took sunset overdrive and removed everything fun or enjoyable then sent the visuals back to 2007. This game plays as outdated and ugly as it looks. The visuals are cluttered, too bright, and are just yucky to look at.

    The destructible environments are the only thing interesting or fun about this game. Yeah, blowing down a balcony with your rocket launcher

    The destructible environments are the only thing interesting or fun about this game. Yeah, blowing down a balcony with your rocket launcher is cool and fun, but even thats kind of screwed up. Remmber that awesome tech demo they did in 2015 where they showed a whole skyscraper being knocked down? Yeah you cant do that. Most of the buildings have indestructible beams inside them that make it so you just chunk away at the walls on it.

    The shooting is some of the worst i've ever seen in a game. The frustratingly sticky auto-lock aiming they have is even worse thanks to the environmental destruction. You can dash behind a wall to escape your enemies but it doesnt matter since they just shoot right through them and keep locked on you no matter what. So the destructible environments end up being a detriment to the gunplay.

    You get to choose from a whopping 9 guns and 2 equipment. 5 years of development and thats the best you can do??? What a joke.

    The game is a clunky, ugly, and unfun slog that i cant recommend to anyone.

    This game plays and looks like a game that is outdated in every fashion. How such a poorly designed game can be the result of a development time of five years is beyond me. Don't waste your money on this.

    A poorly executed entry to a series that never really needed another entry. As with the majority of Microsofts exclusives this generation they miss the mark in design and execution.

As with the majority of Microsofts exclusives this generation they miss the mark in design and execution. Crackdown is a bare bones, overly simplified game blended with a drab, monotonous open world that neither excites nor delivers on any fun gameplay. The game looks okay, more like a remastered 360 game, mechanics are okay but gunplay becomes very boring. Story, what story. The game is so cheap there are very few plot points or cut scenes thst really compel you to become more invested in the world or characters.

    I understand Crackdown 3 is fan service, but with the state of the Xbox exclusives did they really need another flop. With more investment in development and a little more imagination Crackdown could of been a fun little filler game, unfortunately it has been put out to die and done so in the cheapest way possible. Game pass will save Crackdown 3 as you would have to be crazy to pay any real money for this game.

    Crackdown 3 wastes its potential in both the woefully boring campaign and the completely uninteresting, barely functional multiplayer. The open-world city is just as empty as the game itself.

    We can't recommend Crackdown 3 in good faith. It has its moments, but you need to be a fan of uncomplicated run'n'gun gameplay to enjoy them – and even then, the action takes way too long to pick up. [Issue#236, p.42]

    After such a glacial wait, it's not unreasonable to expect more. Still, in spite of its pared-back ambitions, it is such a chorus line of brainless, sugar rush thrills, you'll rarely be anything less than entertained. Let's just hope we don't have to wait until 2024 for Crackdown 4 to arrive. [Issue#225, p.65]
