    El odio a este videojuego fue puro fanboyismo. Perfecto no es, hubieron promesas incumplidas tambien, pero un videojuego merecedor de un 2 o un 4 no es. Videojuego divertido, y si lo juegas en Coop, la diversion es doble, muy rejugable, en cuestion de coleccionables y y subir de nivel a tus agentes. Si jugaste el primer Crackdown, este te va a encantar.

    Meu primeiro xbox foi o Series S e essa foi minha terceira experiência com o console, e por enquanto minha favorita.

    A história e o gráfico são medianos, mas a gameplay é muito divertida.

    Crackdown 3 is a surprisingly good, albeit flawed game.

    To put the premise quite simply, you're part of an agency of super-soldier law enforcement officers sent to New Providence to shut down a corporation that's been instigating global blackout attacks on cities across the world.

    On entry, you and your entire crew get utterly vaporized by Elizabeth Niemand's mechanical dragon and you are only, just barely revived with none of your superpowers by a member of the city's resistance. Your goal is to liberate the city, eliminate TerraNova's kingpins and end the blackout attacks.

    Firstly, the problems...

    Crackdown 3 has a boatload of collectibles and it's a very tedious task to complete this game 100%. Thankfully this game does have a few quality-of-life changes above the original which makes this task somewhat less tedious, i.e. being able to track down the number of Agility Orbs remaining in a given region of the city.

    This game also has a "reverse difficulty curve" whereby early objectives will be difficult to capture and you will die a lot, until you've levelled your abilities up, after which the game becomes a cakewalk.

    Two of the bosses (including the final one) are exceptions to this rule and are so very cheaply designed that I've had to cheese my way to victory through unorthodox strategies on both fights.

    Please note that this is based on the Super Agent (second-hardest) difficulty, which I've beaten. I am currently doing a run on Legendary and the aforementioned initial difficulty spike is far, far more apparent.

    Also, if you're expecting to hear Terry Crews drop loads of quips and unforgettable one-liners in this game, dream on. Commander Jaxon, the character that Crews lended his voice and likeness to, was a major marketing and selling point of this game, yet he doesn't even survive the opening cutscene and literally gets turned to radioactive dust within the first three minutes of play. Sure, you can choose him as an agent skin, but you're not gonna hear him say anything for the whole game.

    Now... the positives.

    The game controls well, has a plethora of vehicles, although regrettably no planes or helicopters. It plays about as well as you'd expect a futuristic superhero GTA clone to play and has one of the best lock-on targeting systems I've seen in any video game. It also hasn't changed much from the very first game, which is both a good and bad thing.

    Lore-wise, the game is packed deep with it, if you're willing to take the time to unlock audio logs and transmissions. It also makes a few calls back to the very first game.

    This game is just fun. The story isn’t anything spectacular, but it’s entertaining. The characters are fun, and villains are unique, and options to play as different characters is a good addition. The online mode isn’t great, and only cause it doesn’t seem to be played by players. This is a good game, and recommend it.

    As a long time Crackdown fan, I truly enjoyed playing thru this game. Twice. Its great fun as a sandbox mayhem, and the combat all round is very smooth and well executed too, better than in the previous games, in fact.
    The game's visuals are nice, nothing special, but I liked the overall look of them.
    Exploration is fun as always in these games. I do have to complain about the sound

    I do have to complain about the sound quality tho. Overall, sounds are fine, but the lead characters voice acting sounds muted compared to other sounds, so its kinda hard to hear what the hero is saying in the midst of all the noise. Now matter what you do with the sound settings... So, kinda glitch on the sound levels there, one which they have not fixed to date...
    Still if you're looking for a fun sandbox game, this is it.

    Gostei bastante da experiência, a jogabilidade e estrutura me lembrou muitos os jogos da época do PlayStation 2, e isso não é ruim pelo contrário. Jogabilidade simples, graficos limpos e coloridos me renderam boas horas de diversão. Meu ponto negativo vai apenas pela duração da campanha que achei curta.

    Because of the internet, I had very low expectations. It was dirt cheap from the shop so i figured id at least try it and get my own impression.

    I was quite surprised as i found myself actually having fun and want to continue playing. C3 has a solid fun factor, where combat, traversal, progression, verticality and mobility are all intertwined decently. Guns feel good and the lock-on

    I was quite surprised as i found myself actually having fun and want to continue playing. C3 has a solid fun factor, where combat, traversal, progression, verticality and mobility are all intertwined decently.

    Guns feel good and the lock-on feature works quite well and that was one the aspects i found kinda boring in the original but this is a different kind of 3PS where breaking line contact and using your mobility to your advantage is the name of the game.

    Ive played the original a few years ago and couldnt get into it but C3 feels better to play and IS surprisingly fun.

    The driving aspect of the game is abit "weird" as i like to jump from rooftops to traverse the area.

    Graphics are FINE, nothing to boast about but theyre FINE.

    Music is good, electronic sci-fi dubstep feel.

    This game has been overhyped and at the end of the day, devs didnt quite deliver what they originally promised with the destruction in the campaign.

    C3 has a solid funfactor and my score for this game is 8 of 10. It does NOT deserve all the hate its been getting, im having genuine fun with this game and wnat to get right back into it.

    Honestly, it would deserve a solid 8. This game is the most authentic fun I've seen in recent years. First of all, it is a true Crackdown 1 sequel with all the cringing stuff removed: climbing is now really easier with an automated jumping move by holding L up and actual LEDGES ; and level farming is less time-consuming since it depends on what difficulty you're playing. Talking about that, going in on easy difficulty is a true walk in the park, but Legendary took me some serious time to get a hang of it. The game allows you to separate your agents progress from the different worlds (in different save slots for each) so you could easily go in normal for your first play through, then start another world on hard or legendary with your first agent and keep on leveling up his skills (for kills). You can go on Legendary directly with a brand new agent (as I did), but you'll have to be clever and plan your assaults strategically if you want to move forward, this clearly is the most challenging thing to do in this game and boy is it FUN. Collectibles (not orbs...) and races are done right and fun to collect. Orbs are numerous, yet you'll need to actively look for them if you want to get to the MAX level in agility ; when it comes to combat skills however, nothing too hard to deal with, as long as you keep on fighting and destructing and crushing and inflaming and electrocuting and BOOM anything that comes in your way. Graphics are amazing with their art style (and truly need a 4K HDR display) if you want to enjoy it the most. The Soundtrack is very enjoyable and fits perfectly with the environment. Only jumping and driving need a small amount of time getting used to it. Give this game a try if you own the Game Pass, honestly, you won't regret it if the game play fits your style, and you don't wan't to be bothered by some serious and long storytelling.

This makes the original Crackdown feel like a tech demo or early access gameplay by comparison... all the ideas are fully realized and expanded on beautifully in CD3. The wealth of little touches here make everything so much more satisfying to do... such a perfect game for letting off some steam for a few minutes, whether through platforming for agility orbs or enjoying all the new weapons. But realistically I also find this game hard to put down. There are so many little elements to seek out in the world depending on what feels fun in the moment, and each gameplay system has received a complete upgrade.... which makes it hard to know where to start when writing a review. I am absolutely loving the slower progression which generally makes each skill tier increase feel rewarding, especially for agility! Agility now has movement capabilities that weren't possible in the first two games and which greatly enhance the experience of climbing towers or dashing between them during the long random engagements that hit squads facilitate. Using the quick maneuver thrusters when fighting shielded enemies or small flying drones makes the agent feel just as agile as they are tanky, especially once you can use the thrusters more than once. Been so enjoying the hitsquads, and just had a very uncommon firefight where small drones followed me up a tower and I dove through the air killing them with a shotgun, scaling balconies to the last one then just looking out at the beautiful city at night.
    The first 45 minutes or even 2 hours of gameplay felt slow to me now that enemies will put up more of a fight than in 1 or 2, particularly in those first couple hours of gameplay. Treat your beginning character like a savvy insurgent rather than a human tank, because until you level up your firearms, explosives, or strength (for resiliency it seems) you you'll probably find yourself surprised at how much of a fight even the basic lackeys put up in the open city.

    SUCH a welcome sequel! I must research what all the negative reviews are about at some point.

    From a big fan of the first two Crackdown games on 360, the third game has provided hours of fun. Collecting agility orbs, levelling up and smashing goons up is just as addictive now as it was in 2007.

    It doesn't revolutionise the genre, but does every single game have to do so? By the sounds of things the game was in development hell, stuck in the cloud-based-technology marketing hole

    It doesn't revolutionise the genre, but does every single game have to do so? By the sounds of things the game was in development hell, stuck in the cloud-based-technology marketing hole they fell into, so we're fortunate the game was ever released.

    With the sheer lack of decent first party titles Microsoft has put out this generation, I'm happy to say we finally got one. Whilst it certainly doesn't one-up Sony's current offering on PS4 (having played and loved Horizon, Uncharted 4, GoW and Spider-Man all in the past 18 months), it's a good enough effort which seems to show they aren't down and out just yet.

    Bonus points for the value of Microsoft's Game Pass deal - I played Crackdown 3 using my £1 month for which I cannot complain.

    If you liked the original Crackdown games but are still skeptical, ignore the reviews and go try it for yourself. You will be surprised.

Who don't likes first two games 10 years ago, didn't like this one as well. But for the rest - it should be tried at least. Jokes, atmosphere in the game, all this sandbox... I really enjoy it!

I Love that i can fly (multiple times jump and dash) and very like house high jumps when reached agility level 6. also i love the diversity of the guns. also the grenades and the cars. i found first that the Enemys are to strong but after a second try on most of them i realy enjoy to fight them, i also like to colect orbs and do all the other stuff in campain. this is a 10/10 for me.

    My score of 10 is for people that like games like Crackdown 1, Prototype 2, Saints Row 4, etc. This game is an 8, but if you like any of the games I listed, this game is a 10!!!

    Better than the first one, hands down. Fricking epic boss fights. Driving is a waste of time. A total blast.

    In short: It's fun, disappointing, fluid, dated, and the perfect fodder for Game Pass. Play it or don't, but my opinion is that you'll miss out on a good game that nails the fundamentals despite missed opportunities.

    In short: It's fun, disappointing, fluid, dated, and the perfect fodder for Game Pass. Play it or don't, but my opinion is that you'll miss out on a good game that nails the fundamentals despite missed opportunities.

    It's hard to critique a fun game, especially when fun is a necessary criterion of a good game. But when the same game was promoted with such a high technical bar to be released lacking a core mechanic, it feels disappointing. CD3 plays like Crackdown should. It's kinetic and over the top. But Microsoft promised us a fully destructible world and partially reneged on that promise. What is left is a sequel to the first Crackdown (where CD2 barely registered as a DLC-worthy expansion of CD1). That said it's a VERY good sequel. I'm having fun barreling through the game. That counts for most of my positive score, the rest comes from a diverse smattering of tasks that works well enough, rewarding exploration, and the addition of a second narrator, an tragically overlooked positive in this game.

    Multiplayer is where Microsoft kept their destructive promise... and failed to capitalize on MP design principles that have revitalized MP over the last five to seven years. The MP portion plays like a highly kinetic deathmatch where maneuvering and picking the "right" cover matters, but it fails to build on the advancement metagame that has become the bread-and-butter of multiplayer. Good news is if you don't have the time to dedicate to grinding out a useful character, you can still jump in with any weapons you want and have fun. Arguably, the hardcore player will burn out of this MP mode quickly, but the average gamer will spend about much time in MP as they would in any other game before moving on.

    And that brings me to how this game is getting rated and released. This is a casual game when all is said and done. It's fun for people who want to have fun. It will be an annoying flash in the pan for today's esports obsessed pro-gamer wannabe. There's room for all at the table, but maybe this is a game that doesn't need to be taken as anything more than what it is.

    As a result of all this schizophrenic confusion, Crackdown 3 WOULD be relegated to the bargain bin, and a great bargain it would be... that is, if digital distribution weren't such a pervasive factor in this particular game's distribution. This is the perfect Game Pass fodder and it adds so much value to that proposition when you aren't paying $60 for a single. In short, it's a reason to AT LEAST try Xbox Game Pass if you have a free trial. If you're already subscribed, it just became a no-brainer. Play it. If you have to pay $60 for it, I recommend it for fans of past Crackdown games or people who just like free-roaming over-the-top sandboxes. This game is so polarizing because of this conflict, in my opinion.

    In conclusion, CD3 plays tug-of-war with innovation and convention. Where it innovates, it fails to capitalize on contemporary design. When it nails the fundamentals, it doesn't realize the promises of it's emergent ambitions. In the middle is a solid game, not one worthy of the weight that Microsoft yoked it with, but worthy of your time.

    And not worthy of your zeroes.

    I will add a caveat that I played the Xbox One S and PC versions and found the PC version with a sufficiently powerful PC to be superior. The game is available on Play Anywhere so you should try it too.

I collected almost 500 of the 1000 orbs, cleared every enemy stronghold, unlocked all of the vehicles and weapons and after all was said and done after the credits, I was happily collecting hidden orbs and unlocking the last of the lost Agents. My 20 plus hours with Crackdown 3 were filled with a sense of fun and satisfaction and I found a smile on my face that I haven’t enjoyed I played Spider-man and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

    Crackdown 3 has one foot in last generation and one foot trying to stand in an ever changing current generation of games. But the visual quality and you just can’t understate overall fun factor in its gameplay, pushes an average game, which is still good, closer to a great game. The anticipation for Crackdown keeps expectations right where they belong. This is not a game for everybody, but everybody should give this game a try.

    If you like Just Cause, you will likely like Crackdown (and it hasn't crashed yet, so that's better than Just Cause in my opinion). No, you won't be flying in a wingsuit, but the map isn't big enough to justify flight, and grinding out the paltry number of levels you need to reach max rank isn't bad. Gameplay is smooth, each of the encounters is unique and fun, even if some of the actions you need to do at the encounters is relatively similar. People who **** about the art style likely hate Legend of Zelda: Windwaker, too, so take that for what it's worth.

    BUT WHEN YOU HIT MAX RANK, THE FUN STARTS. For example, the Explosives group gets a hidden perk called Apocalypse that freaking blows up EVERYTHING and REGENS EXPLOSIVE AMMO. Your melee? Becomes an explosive punch that takes out TANKS. Your jump? Well, now you can essentially fly.

    It's hilarious, it's dumb, it's AWESOME. Terry Crews also says a ton of hilarious lines at each of the propaganda towers or when just jumping around, so when the reviewers complain that he doesn't have a lot of lines, I don't know what they are smoking.

    It's a solid game, I recommend it if you want to shoot the **** and hear some hilariously over-the-top lines.

    I like Crackdown 3. It isn't earth-shattering. It isn't world changing. But it's a ton of fun. Crackdown 3 doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. It doesn't try to in any way change the genre it is coming from or really move it forward. It instead attempts to refine what Crackdown was to a razors edge and deliver addictive combat that remains fun from beginning to end and offers a ton of replayability. And I think it succeeds brilliantly at that. The story is fun and over the top but is also not at all serious or critical to the experience. Crackdown 3 "really makes you feel like Spiderman." Graphics are competent. Not impressive in any way, but beautiful in their own way when you have the right hardware. On Xbox One X, or a GTX 1070+, you get drop down gorgeous 2160p HDR support. And this game does HDR better than nearly other game I can think of. The skyline is beautiful, the world design has some genuinely pretty moments, and the art style is pitch perfect to what the game is. Textures are competent but uncluttered, spartan in their aesthetic, but they stand out in delivering the design the developers wanted. Score is good, sound effects are solid, but the mix is bad. I immediately changed the mix to 80% on everything except character voice, when I noticed Terry Crews was basically whispering in the background. Once I did that, the final product was quite enjoyable. Not sure why they hid the character voice so much. Driving is the weakest part of the game, but it remains fun as well. ESPECIALLY when you have fully unlocked the agency vehicle. This game is, at its hot, a beat em up collectathon, and in that regard I've had a blast with it. It is one of the few games on the market I genuinely want to 100%. Carrots are spaced perfectly to reward you with new mechanics each time it begins to feel like it is dragging slightly. All aspects of the game are playable and fun, and the unlockable characters go a long way in diversifying it as well. Co-op is greatly appreciated and feels just as fun as it always did. The online multiplayer was necessary to fulfill promises made before Epic bought out Cloud-gen, but it's serviceable and not much more. It IS fun, but I don't foresee putting in 500 hours on it or even 50.

    Are you still reading this review? Then stop thinking about it. Go play the game. It's a lot of fun and I think you will enjoy it. It isn't making any GOTY lists, it isn't going to be on your "most impactful game I ever played" list, but when somebody mentions it to you in conversation in 10 years, you'll say how fun it was to play.

    Graphics: 9.5. The Crackdown 3 looks like a comic book come to life, and the level of detail reflects this. On a technical level, probably one of the most complex examples lighting and reflection mapping on consoles, bar none. Just point your car headlights at some pedestrians and check it out.

    Audio: Digital Home Theater users rejoice: the only other game that comes close is Doom 2016 in terms of the sheer quality of the techno magic that pours from your home theater system. An obvious pouring of love went into the overall sound design. Brilliant!

    Gameplay: Look: you can't on one hand commend a game like Mega Man 11, and on the other say Crackdown is lacking or unoriginal in that regard. Hints of Ratchet and Clank, classic platformer style collecting, arcadey driving, and some of the most INTENSE action ever on a screen at one time doesn't leave much room for any criticism beyond having expectations that the game didn't meet. which brings me to... the unfair metric of reviewing products based on personal desires instead of what's on your plate. Crackdown 3 may not be a balanced meal, but it is an extremely tasty apaer plate with your favorite junk food on it.

    Disregard the flamboyantly vocal minority on this one. It's sold out at 3 Gamestops, two Walmart Super Centers and a Target in my area. I had to drive 30 miles to get my copy the day after release, and I have one hell of a time putting this one down. It improves on everything Crackdown one had to offer and gives us one of the most amped action games in recent memory.

    This one is a no brainer for real gamers. Buy it up.

    The story is about as deep as a puddle, and so are the characters, but that's fine, as you don't always need games to be cinematic masterpieces, sometimes you just want an episode of Jackass! If you liked the 1st CD, then this is more of the same and takes you back to a time when you could just enjoy a game for its over the top silliness.

    The bad: It does not have the best story. Some planes in tall buildings seem scalable but they are not and there is no flash or mark that indicates which ones are scalable and which are not. The missions are repetitive. The curve of difficulty at the start is very warm but the final phases sticks a puzzling high. The personalization of the agents is very limited and the agent models are very few.

    The Meh!: Apparently many are evaluating the game only watching videos or Beta-Tester versions or test versions of Insiders, which are far from what is the final game.

    Here's a simple test to see if you are the right audience for Crackdown 3: Did you play and enjoy Crackdown 1? Was the last time you played it the year it came out? If you answered yes to both of those questions then you should absolutely buy this game right now. If you answered no to either one of those questions then you should try before you buy or wait until it comes down in price a bit. Simple.

    Gostei bastante da física dos veículos, não é algo que se compare com GTA por exemplo, mas já é bem solido, veículos são mais legais de pilotar no jogo.
    A dificuldade lendária é bem justa, Você morre por fazer besteira no jogo e não por inimigos que dão hit kill, fora que é bem desafiador pois muitas vezes a um grande número de inimigos para enfrentar.

They say it's just more of the same, and while that's true to some degree, the devs have updated and expanded on the game mechanics of the original.

    I've put 20 hours into the game so far and it's great. Graphics are definitely current gen, there are some very impressive effects, most notably the smoke/gas/steam. The game is a sequel to the first Crackdown and plays just like it with some much needed updates, including the godsend of storing checkpoints as you climb towers and the ability to load those checkpoints if you miss a jump. This was one of the reasons I never went for completing the original game... too frustrating. They've added other things like multiple agents with level up bonuses, a spider car that can drive up walls, and a multitude of new weapons for creating chaos.

    The game is a AAA title, and I've encountered no bugs. It has a high level of polish and plays like butter. Everything has been polished and shined to a mirror-finish. The extra time they took shows in the final product. If you are a fan of the original crackdown, you will guaranteed like this game and appreciate all the updates and improvements they've brought for this iteration.

    Don't know what went on behind the scenes, but the game itself is actually really fun. It's painful to see it shat on by so many critics who I doubt have even tried it. For those who just want to jump into a game, have fun and blow **** up then this game is for you.

    Great game. The fans will love it.The game evolved and updated the mechanics that made it successful in 2007. Despite production problems, Microsoft is to be congratulated on keeping the game to the end.!

    I’m genuinely confused by all the negative reviews. Crackdown 3 is fun. It’s not a deep modern open world game, but it’s also not going to waste your time asking you to ride your horse for hours or eat constantly. It’s a game that just wants you to have fun traversing the world like a super hero wreaking havoc with ridiculous guns.

    First of all, all the loser trolls giving it a 0, 1 or 2 have LITERALLY NEVER played the game.
    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

    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!!!!!!!

    Crackdown 3 is a very different game in the genre and it's all about demanding more and more power and the game delivers that knowing so.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The internet likes to get hyped and follow a trend, leading into this game I was expecting a fairly intuitive experience, I received complains about outdated graphics and gameplay that isn't pushing boundaries.

    What I discovered was much more, the game steals the show by being completely true to its roots. With a story that can be taken at any turn and a city that is fun to jump around, with obstical courses,stunt rings, orbs, collectables and plently of bad guys to kill.

    Crackdown 3 does what I like to call "gameplay focus' , it doesn't out do itself with a massive in depth story like Halo or Mass Affect, it doesn't have a large interactive city like Grand Theft Auto, but it does one thing amazingly, lets you have fun. For hours at a time, its hard to get board when you can kill such a variety of bad guys with such creative weapons, from a street sign, a dead body, a rock, a truck, a grenade, a car and even an exploding duck. This game is something I reccomend you play.

    Negative reviews aren't always true, this does what it wants really well, it plays like crackdown, bringing you the old age experience from the beygone era of Halo 3 and the original crackown, a time before micro transactions and corporate greed. This game is mayhem and explosive.

    Yes it's Crackdown, yes it's supposed to be cartoon shaded, really enjoy playing it. It's definitely not a zero, there are control issues but can live with that. Don't be put off by the nufftys giving zero.

    People who rate zero when a game is fun are intentionally bombing the review. The graphics aren't what they should be but saying last gen quality is Insane.

It is at it's heart a real platformer ( I love AC origin Odyssey) but it is lazy man platforming, mabe these reviews got use to auto climb. CD3 your jumping figuring the best route to get up that huge building, shooting bad gays throwing cars at them. That's awesome fun!! The worlds cell shade comic look is sweet colorful and eye popping. If they added deep crafting tons of npc's to interact with and a skill system using points instead of, you us the skill you build the skill it would suck. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR all these 0 reviews actually suggest what they thought it would be or what they should have added. Also it's Cackdown a run gun jumping fun game. For myself as an original fan I couldn't be happier. Expand

    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]
