Crackdown 3 has had its problems over the years in development and at one point almost didn't see the light of day. Thankfully they ended up finalizing the game and while it isn’t perfect I admit that in a way it was worth the wait because it we hadn't waited for it we would have had much less of a game to play than the final product turned out to be. It does offer you fun and enjoyable moments throughout. This fun and enjoyment is seen across the game because it features a story that’s interesting and Terry Crews well obviously remains funny and features a presentation that make it satisfying. Exploring the world then is always rewarding and with a decent amount of content included there always seems to be something to do. You will however have to deal with a few technical issues every now and then and the level design does lack in terms of variety, so expect things to get a little repetitive at times. Despite this the gameplay is fun and the combat has a ton of depth within it i.e. tackling enemies and blowing things up is exciting whether you play on your own or with a friend. I recommend that you play the game co-op instead of single player, because the gameplay is more unpredictable and exciting when played in this way. All in all Crackdown 3 has delivered what I expected it to deliver and that is a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously and it has a few issues I still recommend that you give this game a go and see what you think of it personally. Overall, It's worth the price of admission.… Expand

    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.

    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!

    O maior lixo já feito na industria dos jogos. Jogo extremamente bugado, queda de frames, multiplayer que até então é o foco não funciona direito, poder da nuvem que não funciona tbm, um completo lixo.
    5 anos pra isso? hahahaha que bosta

    It's pretty hard to admit but...this game sucks in so many ways that It would be impossible to describe each one! There's no physics system... the buildings explode as if they were made of styrofoam or something like this...Characters expressions are ridiculous. Storytelling? Forget about it.... Microsoft, I want my money back!

    sinceramente como a Microsoft conseguiu ferrar mais uma franquia.
    não entendo como a MICROSOFT teve coragem de lançar esse jogo.
    O single-player é mediano pra ruim mas o multiplayer e uma prova da incompetência sem tamanho da MICROSOFT.

    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

    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.

    Nunca me aburri tanto jugando un juego multijugador, es sorprendente cómo incumple todo lo que prometieron, es asombroso lo tedioso que es repetir la misma misión una y otra vez y sobre todo, es asombroso que existan usuarios que puntuen 10 a este bodrio.

    If you've played the previous Crackdown games, you have a certain expectation. Jump around in a pseudo destructible environment killing gang bosses before taking on the big boss, or (which is the unique crackdown quality) going to take on the big boss right away.

    I had enough for 20 minutes of the game. No Russian localization. This disrespect for the players from Russia. The game itself in the style of toon, complete nonsense. That you transferred the release date there is not clear. Such games are not worth the money they ask for.

    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]
