    This game got delayed like no other and still came out trash. Bad graphics, gameplay, and nonsensical story.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    Such a disappointing game that had such much hype with it. The gameplay has barely changed since the original and the graphics are arguably worse. The open world is very bland and there is barely anything non-repetitive to do- climbing the tower was somewhat fun and the weapon variety was alright but besides from that it was mostly a disappointing game- story was also terrible.

    Um verdadeiro desperdicio de tempo e dinheiro, crackdow 3 e simplismente o sinonimo de generico, um projeto que desde o começo não demostrava ser promissor e nem mesmo divertido.

    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.

    Very disappointed. Even if you ignore that it's nothing like originally advertised, it's just plain mediocre. You can have fun of course, but it just feels like a downgrade from the much older Crackdown 2, and I'd recommend you play it instead.

    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.

    Plutôt fun à jouer, du moins pour la parti solo, Crackdown 3.est un bon défouloir sans prétentions. En revanche le multi n'est vraiment pas terrible, trop brouillon et pas amusant.

    First game was blast, second bad and third pretty ok.
    Minus: repetitive, bosses, story
    Plus: fun, gamplay, art style, narrator, parkour

    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    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.    … Expand

    Crackdown 3 doesnt do anything new, the world feels empty, the gameplay and missions feel like the same that the first Crackdown had to offer in 2006 and that is the biggest problem of the game it offers nothing new which could refresh the franchise. A lot of potential was wasted here it's still fun but it needs more than just the classic crackdown formula!

    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.

    Crackdown 3 is the worst game I have played in ages. The majority of my time playing the game was spent driving around looking for things to shoot, and if you have to spend more time driving then shooting in a Crackdown game, that's already a bad sign.

Combine that with the campaign being so boring it even puts babies to sleep, and we have ourselves a dumpster fire of a game. The only upside I can give it is that the city and environments look amazing, but not amazing enough to distract you from the brain-killing boredom the gameplay will bring you.… Expand

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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]
