    Don't listen to the hate on this game. It's not the best ever, but it's certainly not worth all the negative press it's getting. It's mindless fun. But a LOT of fun. Orb hunting, blowing crap up, evolving your skills... it's everything that CD2 should have been. If you were a fan of the first one then you'll love this one.

    This is crackdown through and through. It looks like crackdown, plays like crackdown and sounds like crackdown. The visuals are fine, crackdown has always had a comic like look. The game IMO is a 8/10 but I added a +1 for Terry cause he is awesome and a +1 to go against all the hilariously ridiculous 0's.

    Im about 5 hours into the campaign. For people familiar with the series, you will feel right at home. The series has never been known for it story and that stay true with the installment. however, if your looking for reckless fun and collecting agility orbs then your in luck. Overall, it is a faithful edition to the series and more of the mindless fun you have come to expect. MultiplayerIm about 5 hours into the campaign.

It is a solid game that you will get enjoyment out of. Just do not expect a masterpiece in open world gaming like Red Dead, Grand Theft Auto, or Far Cry.… Expand

    Having played a good 3 or 4 hours of this game, its really nowhere near as bad as people are saying. It plays, feels and looks like a Crackdown game, and I'm really enjoying it. Its just old school shooter, goofy popcorn fun, which might not to be reviewers tastes. If you've got gamepass go give it a go!

    The internet strikes again! 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

    No es un juego del 2019, ni esta ala altura de los anteriores, eso por ahora, aun así me eh divertido con el y me a costado bastante dejarlo de jugar, lo recomiendo para cualquiera que le guste el genero y los anteriores de la saga.

    jogo de mundo aberto muito injustiçado pela mídia em geral, a única coisa que ele falhou foi no multplayer generico, mas o single players com opição para coop salva com certeza o jogo, muuuito divertido,

    Crackdown 3 foi um game injustiçado, a jogabilidade dele é muito fluída, muito melhor q seus antecessores. A dublagem é de primeira e a diversão é garantida, quanto mais vc evolui, mais divertido o jogo fica. Quando você joga no Coop, a dificuldade se torna bem desafiante. Não vá por análise de jornalistas, dê uma chance e tire as suas próprias conclusões. . recomendo!

The gameplay ist also ton of fun, you have a huge variety of weapons and enemies, and especially the bossfights are great. In comparison to RDR2 the mission design is not as strict and let's you choose your own way to win. I would however more compare it to super mario games with all the platforming than to other open world games, and if you keep that in mind you will have a ton of fun!… Expand

    It isn’t going to win any Game of the Year awards (I never expected it to), but it is exactly what I wanted it to be, more Crackdown. If you liked either of the first 2 games you should absolutely play this. If you didn’t, this game will be unlikely to convert you.

    With amazing colorful graphics (especially if you have a HDR compatible TV) , full on, always action, explosions and ridiculously powerful agents this games is a whole lot of addictive fun.

    - Does it have Explosions? Hell yes
    - Does it have none stop action? Absolutely!

    Put it simply, if you are Crackdown fan, you most likely will love this game, and even if you have never played Crackdown before, if you just love some mindless crazy action filled fun in a game that does not take it self to seriously this game might just be a game for you anyway. It even gives you the ability to play the campaign in Co-op and with the correct friends that can make the action almost double the fun.

    so how about Wrecking zone?
    I can not deny that it is very disappointing that at launch it is not possible to play the multiplayer with a friends in a Party, but this hopeful will be available later on . However for me personally it does not matter much, as I most of the time play online on my own anyway, do however realize that this is a big down side for a lot of people.

    Worth to note is that so far I have not experiences any bugs at all... so unlike a lot of AAA games nowadays, it feels we for once have gotten a complete game.    … Expand

Nunca foi prometido uma grande história ao jogo, dúvido que alguém no mundo tenha esperado algo grande, nem os 2 primeiros tinham enredos e isso não foi criticado na época, não sei o pq está sendo criticado agora. O multiplayer é legal, só acho que falta variedade de modos e uma user interface melhor, mas fora isso é divertido e tem bons mapas, como o das estátuas gigantes. O jogo respeita muito a franquia, é bem similar ao 1 e ao 2, principalmente ao 1. O maior problema talvez seja o preço, mas nem tanto, pq tipo, talvez a crítica esteja pegando no pé do jogo pelo seu preço, mas ao mesmo tempo deveriam levar em conta que os PCs e Xbox One ganharam a promoção de 2 reais por 2 mêses de Game pass, então pelo menos agora no começo isso não é realmente um problema, quem não gostar, apenas experimenta e desinstala, sei lá, mas ainda acho que os críticos não pegaram no pé do jogo por isso, afinal, jogos de Lego são super simples e sempre vem com um preço de jogos como Red Dead 2. Por fim, o jogo ser um shooter similar aos do 360 não deveria ser algo ruim, eu achei ótimo, a 7a geração foi a minha favorita e Celeste e outros jogos se inspiram em jogos de 8/16 bits e ganham até premiação a GOTY, kkk. Em fim, Crackdown 3 é de longe o melhor o melhor da sua trilogia, respeita os originais e inova em várias mecânicas, só acho que poderiam ter adicionado coisas novas que os antigos n tinham, como motos ou veículos do mar, mas concluindo, Crackdown 3 é um jogo bastante divertido, recomendo que joguem o jogo e tirem as suas próprias conclussões, pq não me divirto com um jogo assim a um bom tempo.

    It's an updated version of the first game with Terry Crews, which means the game is an absolute blast. Does it feel outdated? Sure, but in a classic throwback way. Nothing industry changing or new to the game, but it's fun. Don't overthink it. I really don't understand what people were expecting.

    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]
