    An improvement over Crackdown 2, but that isn't saying much. Gameplay is fun. The inclusion of Terry Crews was certainly welcome, however he is more of a "Skin" cameo, if you will.

    But the gameplay loop needed a little more

    I really enjoyed the first Crackdown game but sadly I was not into this one. Repetitive missions, odd graphics, and unfulfilled promises. I would not recommend this game unless you are a big fan of the franchise. However, there are some segments of the game that are quite fun ,such as fighting multiple enemies, but in the end things get pretty much the same. I did not try the coop though.

    Everything about this game is a disappointment. Every design element of this game feels like Sumo Digital was stuck in 2007 and tried to make a carbon copy of the original Crackdown. That was fine back then but in 2019 when open world gameplay has vastly expanded. And yet for such sparse graphics and ancient gameplay, the load times are OUTRAGEOUS.

    The gunplay is awful, snap-to auto aiming, no impact, no fun. The narrator/Agency commander went from being funny in the first game to just being a complete annoyance who won't shut the hell up in this one. You can't go 5 minutes without an idiotic quip from him. Or from Terry Crews, whose dialog apparently involves how many times he can yell or drop the f-bomb while jumping around.

    Hate to say it, but Deep Silver's Agents of Mayhem did a better job at being Crackdown than Crackdown 3 does. Crackdown 3 feels like a cheap facsimile of Crackdown.

    I'm eternally grateful it's on game pass and feel terrible for people who actually spent $60 on it. You'd think this game would cater to someone like myself, as I loved the hell out of the first Crackdown... but instead all it's done is illustrate how poorly Crackdown's design has aged compared to the rest of the gaming world. Giving it a middle-of-the-road 5, which is slightly generous.

    Crackdown 3 is an occasionally-fun shooter that puts you in an open world with Terry Crews (or whoever you choose to be if not Terry) to do big Terry Crews stuff - this is perhaps the most redeeming aspect of the game from start to finish.

An open world campaign is pretty corny but is redeemed at times with tough boss fights that take place in unique settings. There's definitely a great game here but it hasn't surfaced yet. Visuals are disappointing given that so much was made about the physics performance with the help of Microsoft's Azure handling so much of that workload while the world of Crackdown 3 looks like an unfinished Tron metropolitan city. At launch, there's a lot of quirks too like objects stuttering and being hard to jump/mantle on or pick up because they're not staying in place or playing co-op and weapons malfunctioning and glitching out players (my buddy used a weapon that creates a mini black hole which affected me and glitched me out of existence and underneath the map until I finally died 5 minutes later after being locked out of the game). If there was a well-written campaign with a better focus that wasn't so short then I'd be much more interested in this game. If there was more attention put toward visuals and physics performance then I'd appreciate looking at and experiencing this game. If there was a multiplayer system that worked like any other game in 2019 and not 2001 then I'd enjoy this game even more despite the multiplayer mode being bland and rarely exciting. Crackdown 3 isn't finished and it's obvious. You might still enjoy the game and I had my laughs and fun at times but I'm so glad that I was able to play this game on Xbox Game Pass or I would really hate on this game because nobody should be paying $60 for this. Sorry, not sorry. Expand

    Probably the most generic and middle of the road sandbox game you'll play this generation. This game does what many have done before and doesn't bring anything else to the table, so you may as well just dust off Crackdown 1 or 2, or something like Saints Row IV.

    As a whole the game is... Well its ok there's some huge pros such as:
    Terry crews plays the main agent if you chose to use him
    It has an old-school arcade feel that doesn't take itself seriously at all. The progression system is fun and finding it a to advance your agent is addictive Cross play means I can play for a few hours on my PC then pickup and play at the same spot on my Xbox

    Cross play means I can play for a few hours on my PC then pickup and play at the same spot on my Xbox it feels great to be able to transfer like that but it's less of a game feature and more of a Xbox live thing so it doesn't really count but it does help the experience.

    The cons
    The combat crackdown 3 suffers from death by combat repetition even if you play on PC or Xbox it's right trigger left trigger repeat the auto lock plays the game for you even on the PC the auto lock is the prime method of gameplay

    The lack of destruction seriously this game touted that we would see ms use the power of the cloud it's been delayed countless times over 6 years in order to get it's destructible environments just right but destruction is no where to be found in the campaign I can throw a grenade at a wall and nothing.

    The story is non existent agents come into city, city run by evil corporation, take them down the game barely pretends to have one which is fine but when you have a character played by a actor like Terry crews at least utalise him here and there.

    They paid Terry for just showing up his line can be summarised on a two page script

    Overall the games just ok but its lack of destruction and story and repetitive gameplay really hurts it

    Sans doute le meilleur des 3 grâce à de gros progrès de prise en main et jouabilité. L'interface est bien agréable et très ergonomique, le personnage (masculin ou féminin au choix parmi une galerie qu'on débloque au fur et à mesure) est parfaitement maniable malgré une nervosité un peu exagérée (un souci d'accélération du stick probablement) sur les surfaces étroites.

Mais on est pas dans un Assassin's Creed et les bâtiments ne sont pas pensés pour être escaladés en toute décontraction...

    Si la ville est belle en effet, sa verticalité excessive devient laborieuse (un défaut déjà relevé dans les précédents épisodes) et en fait un "jeu de plate-formes" assez désagréable. Il convient alors de récolter le maximum d'orbes, seul moyen de sauter encore et toujours plus haut : un sacerdoce dont on se serait aisément passé à dire vrai...

    Super ultra bourrin, le jeu assume en tout cas ses qualités de bourrineur hors pair avec tout un éventail d'armes de destruction qui ne font pas dans le détail. Et heureusement, car l'action y est rapidement et toujours frénétique, complètement enragée ! même le Doom 2016 censé être le parangon de l'action survoltée ne peut lutter à armes égales, lui qui nous perd régulièrement dans des niveaux labyrinthyques très vides après avoir nettoyé. Rien de tel ici, l'action est à chaque coin de rue ou de toit, sans compter toutes les zones à pacifier...

    Et puis Crackdown 3 est très beau, tourne en 4K sur la X et fait fort bel usage de l'Unreal 4 que l'on avait pas vu à pareille fête depuis... Gears of War 4, le monde ouvert en plus. Le ton général n'est certainement pas très "sérieux", la VF hargneuse et souvent vulgaire en témoigne : on est là pour ramener l'ordre... dans un maximum de désordre : on dirait tout un congrès de gilets cons avec camardes syndiqués en colère pour vous con-seiller et vous exhorter à ramener la justice sociale, massacres explosifs à l'appui. Ou au corps-à-corps !

    Tout cela est tout-à-fait amusant mais dangereusement répétitif tout de même... on se lasse surtout de l'escalade imposée et pénible vers la fin du jeu, pour atteindre les derniers boss. Dommage, car si on sent le potentiel d'un tel défouloir, les choix douteux de design nuisent décidément trop à ses ambitions.

    There isn't much to say here. It's essentially a sci-fi, third person, Far Cry 4.

    Climb towers, attack bases, fight a regional boss, repeat. That's all this game is. The gameplay is fun in its own arcadey kind of way, and none of the objectives or activities feel like a chore. But it's literally one massive loop of the same gameplay over and over again. It's utterly mind-numbing.

    The only redeeming feature is that they managed to pull through on getting Terry Crews in the game. Beyond that, it's a visually bland, technically mediocre, creatively barren game. The story is nonexistent and you'll forget every character within five minutes of meeting or killing them.

    Useful to kill a little time while you wait for a better game to install or update, but that's about it. Cannot recommend.

Graphics is where it takes it’s first major hit althoughbright and vibrant colors are used the rest of the game unfortunately also feels like it was ripped straight from crackdown one and doesn’t make this game feel like it was released in 2019. The gameplay here is typical crackdown fair using meow attacks and throwing objects builds strength collecting green orbs boosts agility, explosives boost explosives, shooting levels up your fire arms skill. Combat is simple LT auto locks on to target shoot until dead or throw objects/melee never more complicated than that. Driving mechanics are very poorly implemented cars handling is wonky there’s no real damage on vehicles other than them exploding. In my 100% playthrough I did encounter a few bugs/glitches some of the missions have enemies that are required to kill and during a few of these I had enemies fall through floor and become unkillable forcing a reboot of the whole game also had issues toward the end with audio getting choppy and all sfx cutting out and the last boss of the game disappearing upon dying and returning to the location forcing me to lose an hour trying to figure out how to make it respawn. All in all the game is ok for gamepass but definitely not for a full triple A game price tag it is worrying that this was a big time exclusive that for all purposes missed its mark. The multiplayer mode doesn’t tout the structure damage as seen leading up to releas and looks more like legos falling apart and the gameplay itself devolves itself in to nothing more than auto locking and burst firing your opponents down. The multiplayer I would rate a 2/10 it’s functional but nothing more. Expand

That was one of the most ENJOYABLE vehicles in the entire game and it's not even there. Also sure they have more variety in enemies, but nothing felt more satisfying than to drive through HORDES of zombies and to watch them explode. This game however most enemies are either, soldiers and robots with varying weapons(rockets,smgs,snipers,etc) or bullet sponge enemies like the mech in the industrial area. It's also got this grindy kind of feel where you have to defeat this overlord but to do this you have to defeat his one or two minions, but to do that you also have to also do those minions small quests that can range from, taking down propaganda, to freeing militia. This all feels like nothing much was gained. I also don't enjoy the new leveling mechanic, where as in crackdown 2 the more strength you get the harder and further you can lob stuff, or the more agility you get you can start running up walls or jumping the size of buildings. This game its like meh have a slight increase in height jump and have some double-triple jumps oh also some air dashes. Literally nothing unique. Not to mention the fact not only can't you host games with randoms but you can only have 1 OTHER PLAYER. Where as in crackdown 2 you could have like at least up to 4 causing mass chaos in the game. It honestly pains me how much I wanted this game to deliver but it simply didn't. It just feels like a dumbed down worse version of Crackdown 2. However despite all these flaws it still is an okay game. Nothing much but it is okay. Also about the users, you have some people absolutely praising a game that doesn't deserve to be this praised, and others absolutely hating on this game unfairly. This is my cold hearted honest opinion about this game, and to show you how much I truly cared about this game, this is the only reason I made this account to begin with.

    Sadly for Crackdown 3 no matter what they did, the game was likely to get criticized. There is valid reason for the criticism however but really Crackdown 3 isn't so terrible, it's just decidedly average.

    Firstly the game is far too short. My game stats show 7 hours played but it's more like 8 or 9 hours. In those 9 hours my character become so OP as to make the game almost boring.
    Sadly for Crackdown 3 no matter what they did, the game was likely to get criticized. There is valid reason for the criticism however but really Crackdown 3 isn't so terrible, it's just decidedly average.

    Firstly the game is far too short. My game stats show 7 hours played but it's more like 8 or 9 hours. In those 9 hours my character become so OP as to make the game almost boring.

    The plotline revolves around shutting down an evil corporation thats oppressing the people yada yada its pretty typical sci-fi-futuristic cliched stuff. The idea is you take down the lieutenants one by one thus weakening the forces of the climatic showdown with the big bad boss. You can take these challenges on however you see fit and in fact I skipped one lieutenant altogether. By this point my character had become this one man bringer of death and destruction who could leap 40 foot upwards and about 200 feet in any direction. I could one punch the vast majority of troops, one shot the majority of troops and even the elite units were basically just mild annoyances. As such I decided to take on the final boss early...and won...easily. It took a while to fight up her tower but at no point was I facing anything particularly difficult. I just tore through her troops the same way I tore through all the others.

    You shouldn't be able to do that in 8 game hours on a full priced AAA game. That's one of the shortest single player campaigns I have seen for a long while. There is little to no replayability here. Basically the game says I can go take down the final lieutenant but I've seen the credits roll, I've seen the canon ending so it begs the question; why bother?

    I could collect orbs to up my stats but they're all at 5 out of 6 and my character is already hilariously godly, destroying everything and bounding around the map with complete ease.

    So not only is it short, its pretty uninspired stuff whilst you play through it anyway. The fights with the lieutenants aren't really that memorable or difficult to undertake. This was particularly proven to me when I'd set a waypoint for some race or other and during my journey there I accidentally ran into the zone that triggers the fight with one of the lieutenants.

    Normally this'd be fatal in a game but I simply dispatched him in about a minute and carried on my merry way. There are only 8 of these guys in the game, you'd think they'd make them a bit more special. They all have backstories that are yawn inducing and very thin. You don't really know their motives or anything past a sentence or two of their bio. The characters are flimsy and the dialogue is dull. You get taunted about how you're going to die as you're casually tearing through their guards with little to no effort. It is unintentionally funny that the game is acting as though there is some daunting challenge in front of you when really it's just "lock on-bambambam-he's dead-lock on-bambambam...". There are, in fairness, quite a diverse array of different enemies to face but they all die so easily the distinction becomes kind of pointless. The only two that stick out are the giant mech bots who can ragdoll you and have quite a bit of health and the cheesy shield troops who you cannot damage until their shields deplete, which is time based not based off of anything you do and as a result feels like cheap, bad character design.

    The dialogue is very boring between your handlers and your character is mute (I didn't play as Terry Crews). They frequently try for humor but it boils down to "Guy with serious voice says 'wacky' things" and it doesn't really work. I found myself playing with music on for the last hour or so and I'm pretty confident I missed nothing.

    So it's short, it's easy, it's poorly written, designed poorly... but it is kind of fun. I mean I can't say that in my 8 or so hours this weekend I didn't enjoy myself, however easy it all was to do, but that alone doesn't make up for the games other shortcomings. The world is large but again, dull and poorly designed. It looks like Saints Row 3 which isn't to knock SR3 but to say it has the world design of a game 8 years old. It's just characterless, the epitome of a "sandbox" just generic copy paste buildings split into "zones".

    The driving controls are awful and driving is beyond pointless in a game where you can leap 200 feet forward and outrun cars anyway. My character had 0.50 out of 6.00 points in driving skill by games end and it made absolutely no difference.

    Really though, whilst mildly fun, this game is entirely forgettable and honestly what it does; a wacky off the world shooter where you have crazy abilities, was done vastly better in every aspect by Sunset Overdrive, which was funnier, looked much better (4 years ago) and more fun to play. This is by no means a terrible game, its a decidedly average one and I'll probably delete this and never pick it up again.

    It's an ideal gamepass sort of game really. Not bad but disposable.

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.

    Tras numerosos retrasos y años en los que Crackdown 3 ni siquiera hacía acto de presencia en los eventos más importantes, ha llegado el día en el que las preocupaciones se han hecho realidad.

    No solo el juego no es los que se nos prometió, como se ve por la ausencia de destrucción y el pobre acabado técnico, sino que confirma que todo lo que Microsoft nos vendió allá por 2014 con la "potencia de la nube" no eran más que patrañas.

    Tras años teniendo a este juego como uno de los estandartes de Xbox vemos en su estado final un intento de Third Person Shooter en mundo abierto y mecanicas de plataformas. Con una historia que pese a tener al carismático Terry Crews no se desarrolla ni termina siendo interesante.

    De aquí pasamos al multijugador, el cual no tiene ningun tipo de progresión y se basa en jugar y repetir. Destacar sobre todo el constante autoapuntado que quita todo tipo de desafio de abilidad y solo deja al jugador con la capacidad de moverse, haciendolo bastante repetitivo y con una falta grave de desafio. En este modo encontramos mas destrucción, pero una vez más, no es lo que se prometió que sería.

    En definitiva, nos encontramos junto a un juego mediocre, vendido a precio completo, excepto si estas suscrito a GamePass, y que no solo no cumple con lo esperado sino que no cumple ni con lo mínimo a esperar de una producción de esta embergadura ni con lo mínimo de un juego en 2019.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Created an account here just to talk about this game. Been a longtime Crackdown fan. Spend a crazy amount of time in the first two games. Especially getting those orbs. So naturally when I heard there would be a third game I was hyped. Didn't think they could screw it up. I was wrong.

    Let's make it clear a lot of the core gameplay is still there. Not too much has changed with the mechanics. So on that end its good ol' Crackdown. Even the graphics have that same great visual style to them. And adding Terry Crews was perfect!

    So what is this game a 3? Well the map is SUPER small. Though they managed to build buildings higher than before. But of course everything is just a empty shell you climb. With even more limitations then before with climbing. With the small map you are stuck with a game that can be beat within 6-8 hours. Now you may think "But there are side missions, orbs...etc to keep you busy!". While the orbs are still fun to get, after beating the game there is really no point to collect them since you are pretty much maxed out level wise. For example I could get the last level of Driving, but it doesn't really do anything of use now that the game is beaten. Also the "Destructible environment" only works online and as of when I played didn't seem to work.

    The side missions are just boring repetitive tasks that are easy. Free prisoners by using a button. Grab some info from a tower using a button. Rare occasions destroy a convoy of cars. Do some silly challenges that are boring after the first few. When it comes to jumping your car through rings there is no "medium" in difficulty. They are either SUPER easy to get or crazy hard with the climbing/jumping car that controls like your drunk and blind. The tank you can get is just "meh" and it's so hard to get that you will of beaten the game by that time. Your cars also blow up too easily. The public cars you can get are useless, except for the ramp truck as always.

    You can go around the map collecting DNA from other agents to play as. Which thankfully you can switch at any time. And each has a bonus like +10% XP driving and +5% XP agility. But really all the agents are the same with varied combos of +10% and +5%. And the sad thing is the only good character is Terry Crews character. He actually has audio that is fun to hear. Ironically if you pick another agent, all the cutscenes only show Terry's character instead. Taking you out of the moment.

    The bosses were all essentially the same and no real strategy was needed to take them down. The weapons were either very crappy or really OP. I won't say all I used but the homing rocket is what you will end up using most of the time. The gadgets/grenades were nothing of interest either. But the grenade that gives you ammo or health was a nice edition (can't recall if it was in past games). The world itself may look like its alive but it's relatively barren except for cats and a few people here or there.

    For how small the game is and how short it is, it's not worth the $60. Maybe $20 at most. Or like me you can play it free using Gamepass. Which makes me happy I didn't spend a dime on it. As much as I would like to see Crackdown 4 where they learn from their mistakes, I doubt that will happen. Though the game does hint of a "future" of the series.

    -Gunplay: confusing, weird
    -Controls: very non-standard controls (tap LB to reload???)
    -vehicles: again, feels weird
    -A.I.: garbage
    -Level design: absolutely garbage, repetitively generated buildings
    Verdict: if Microsoft and sumo had given themselves a few more years to work on this and updated gameplay accordingly this could have been a very good exclusive but, alas, even Terry Crews and an interesting enemy storyline could not save this. So unless you are really looking to blow something up or are a die hard crackdown fan, there’s no point even thinking about this game. For a good ‘splodey game try the just cause series or GTA online

    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.

It also doesn't help that this is Microsoft's first exclusive to come out in almost a year, following up the fairly bland State of Decay 2. For the game that was supposed to be the shot in the arm that the Xbox needed, this was a massive swing and a miss. It's a shame that the circumstances surrounding the release schedule put more undue pressure on a game that, frankly, was never meant to be the exclusive saving grace the system needs right now. There are some nice moments here and there. Terry Crews adds a fair amount of fun to the mix, but his presence, and his quips, severely drops the moment the opening cutscene ends. The fact that this is on gamepass doesn't do much for me either. If it was a better game, then that would be a big deal for me. In the end, there's not enough here to justify playing this game. If you really want to play a game like this, go play Saints Row 4. It's a better version of this style of open-world crazy type fun and it has much more personality and a few pieces of DLC already out for about the same price as a month of gamepass. Expand

    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.

    Graphics are last gen, the story is bland and boring, the cloud destruction isnt even as good as red faction guerrilla a 10 year old game running on xbox 360 hardware. What a waste of resouses and time by microsoft. I recommend moving over to a superior platform that support quality games such as Playstation 4.

    They must be paying people to write positive reviews. it feels half the size of the first two, and quite uninspired terrain. gun explosion animations are horrible even for the graphic style. the city is dead, no gangs, nothing going on. where is all the content?

    Seria um jogo nota 5 para um Celular.
    Mas um jogo para um Console que é tido como o mais poderoso?
    So não leva 0, pois pelo menos deram de graça na Gamepass.

Great way to shut down all those haters MS..... Wait?....Xbox one game?...Really? this **** is a current gen game? Well I take it all back. Expand

    Почему игру выпустили они, а стыдно мне? А если серьезно, это самое худшее что могла выпустить Microsoft. Разработчиков выкинуть на мороз и запретить заниматься играми. Как так можно ненавидеть игры, чтобы высрать это?

    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.

    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.

    This game is nothing but a joke. It was delayed so many times because Microsoft wanted to polish the game and make it sit next to Halo and gears. Is this what they expected to see?

    Todos os trailers desse maldito jogo envolvia muita destruição, algo que me agradaria muito no jogo, mas oq eles entregaram? Um jogo extremamente repetitivo, NÃO DÁ PARA DESTRUIR MERD* NENHUMA COMO MOSTRAVA NOS TRAILERS. O multiplayer é MUITO ruim e não tem como jogar coop com alguém que não seja da sua lista de amigos. PIOR JOGO DA MICRO$OFT

Esse jogo é perfeito para os inceis retardados que são seguidores da mil grau.

    The multiplayer is so boring and repetitive. The explosions look so awful. The building destruction is a complete joke. It looks like a toy playset falling apart. I can't believe it took 5 years for the developers to make this joke of a game. That's just laziness at this point. Despite all the money that Microsoft has, they manage to produce garbage like this. And they had the audacity to charge $60 for this low quality game. It doesn't even have the AAA quality to justify a full price tag. I don't recomment this game at all, unless you have the Xbox game pass.

    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]
