    If you like Crackdown 1 you will love Crackdown 3. The action, progression is great. History is ok , but Crackdown was never about the history. Technically/overall is a good game

    This game is a lot of fun with great gameplay and graphics. I'm enjoying everything about it and Crackdown 3 features everything that i enjoy about the Crackdown series.

    This game deserves a 7 but I'm going to give it a 10 to even out all the low ball scores. This is nothing less than a 5. I've had a good time playing the campaign with my brother. Collecting the power obs and powering up is fun. The game is a bit shallow, but some of the most shallow girls I've dated have been some of my favorite.

    Jogo incrível! Valeu a espera é ação o tempo inteiro gráficos lindos e diversão garantida. Quem deu nota ruim são sonystas que nem Xbox tem e querem derrubar a plataforma pois eles tem inveja pois nas suas plataformas tem mais de 10 meses que não lança nenhum jogo.

    Been a long time xbox fan but this game is simply is not up to the standard of this generation. It is not not that fun, the graphics look like last gen and the story is unappealing.

    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.

At $60 it is a bit pricy, but if you liked 1 and 2 as much as I did it's worth that too.

    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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    It's not terrible, it's just a resoundingly "Meh" game. Why it took this long to develop is completely bewildering.

    Ciertamente el juego se siente como una remake del primer juego, tiene mas cohesión con respecto al modo individual. La cantidad de armas y submisiones es basta y agrada bastante. La gente no tiene en cuenta que durante el desarrollo de un juego hay cambios repentinos y eso puede afectar la salida de un juego.

    Si jugaste Crackdown 1, te recomiendo jugarlo y no dejarlo pasar.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    Crackdown 3 takes you back to the days when games were meant to give the user a fun experience. It delivers fun in truckloads. It also has great graphics & tight gameplay. Give crackdown 3 a try..you will be shocked at how good it actually is.

    This looks like an original xbox game and the movement is basic, with surroundings looking like they're made from cardboard. This is so disappointing considering how long we waited for this game to release. With all of this put aside, the campaign is also poor, so no real incentive to keep playing.

    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 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.    … Expand

    Played only a solo single campaign. Great game, but with some limits. It isn't for everyone, but really nice continues whole series style in 4K and HDR. 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! But not for a full price, an only a single campaign.

    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]
