The graphics could also be better, but on the plus side you can certainly include the control and the joy of smashing more enemies and bosses. It is worth trying, if not now, then on the occasion of the next sale.

Crackdown 3 offers an amazing feeling of power with a great selection of weaponry to make use of during chaotic firefights as well a decent looking but anemic world to explore but fails to grow beyond the original dated formula.

Crackdown 3 is an old school game that doesn't do anything to sound fresh and new. Sometimes it's fun, but in the long run it's just out of this timeline.

Crackdown 3 as a whole is certainly rough around the edges and more of a mid-tier 1st-party exclusive. There’s some fun to be had, of course. But its overall staying power is a step below other open-world games of its ilk.

A mediocre story and dated mechanics bring this Terry Crews simulator down.

Crackdown 3 is a game that shows the problems that have occurred in development. Sumo Digital saves it as best it can, but it's not enough and we have a kind of HD version, enlarged, of the original. Of course, it is hilarious and it is undeniable that the character development system hooks, but it is not enough, and less in a quarter like this, to recommend a game like Crackdown 3 to everyone.

Overall, Crackdown 3 feels like an Xbox 360 title running in 4K. In small doses, the action’s a lot of fun. I love jumping around the city and blowing stuff up, but I can’t imagine this is the follow-up fans deserve.

Mechanically solid, but also outdated open-world action game without real highlights.

Crackdown 3 has more weaknesses than virtues. Its plot is very simple and even becomes predictable. Although it has a good idea in the aesthetic section, it is diminished by the little care that was put into the details. On the other hand, the gameplay of Crackdown 3 is more chaotic and frustrating than it is appreciated in the videos prior to the release of the game. His commands have a strange response and despite having a good sized map, going through it becomes a repetitive activity that takes away much of its brightness. In general, the experience of Crackdown 3 leaves much to be desired, taking into account that this is the first Xbox exclusive in 2019 and that the game was in development for a long time.

Crackdown 3 is still a miracle. Not technical. It is a miracle that even after so many problems and such a long development has finally been able to bring a relatively fun action game that fan units can enjoy. I would even say that the game is better than it ever deserve to be.

Crackdown 3 sticks to its roots and doesn't innovate much from it. The single-player story mode is fun and engaging despite some dated design but the multiplayer is perhaps the most disappointing aspect of Crackdown 3 that fails to deliver on the expectations set by earlier gameplay demonstrations.

Crackdown 3 is a fun game, but it is also too repetitive to keep you entertained for many hours and its lack of high quality content is obvious. I must say, Due to it's awesome gunplay, destruction system and level design, Crackdown 3 is worth to try for few hours, but it is so far away than what we expected from it.

Crackdown 3 gives the impression of a game that slept in the previous generation of consoles and thanks to the weave of accidents, appeared in 2019. It's not too bad, but it's not very good. With paid GamePass you can check.

With it`s weak story, a soulless presentation and repetetive gameplay, Crackdown 3 is a total disappointment after all. The game feels like a Remaster of the first title and continues the series of mediocre exclusives with only few, but outstanding honorable mentions for the Xbox One. Fans of the series should grab the title via Game Pass, everyone else should find plenty of other and better options.

I don’t hate Crackdown 3. There are certain design flaws in the game and it is clear that perhaps the end product is still not exactly what people were wanting to see. Graphically it is heavily underwhelming, but the gameplay itself is very fluid and the game offers a lot of stuff for you to do, almost too much. This is a game that Crackdown fans will enjoy, but I would say it’s best to either wait for a sale or utilise Gamepass to get the game for at least a month.

Repetitive and middling, Crackdown 3 is a totally average open-world game that doesn't give itself a way to stand out.

Crackdown 3 is bonkers chaotic fun but also a case of wasted potential. The series deserved an iterative revival but instead, we have the tried-and-tested Crackdown backbone with remastered visuals and a touch more chaos, sadly squandering the promise of its few interesting additions in the process

Crackdown 3's campaign is like a thawed-out relic from more than a decade ago. Multiplayer's environmental destruction is interesting in concept, but its bare-bones nature keeps it from being more than a curiosity
