Crackdown 3 - XBOX One

Always loved crackdown. Also came with a beautiful hard case.

If you played the 1st 2 Crackdown games, you will be happy to know this plays just like those games but with far better graphics. Controls are tight, your agent now has new moves and skills to unlock, as well as your vehicle. Collecting orbs is addicting, and the go at your own pace campaign is nice. Explosions, guns, etc all sound great. The Xbox One X upgrades are awesome as well. The co-op is great, and the multi-player is out of control fun. Another great exclusive, we'll worth the wait.

I loved the original Crackdown and hated Crackdown 2, and this game delivered on what was good about the first game. If you like hunting for agility orbs, blowing stuff up, leaping tall buildings, going after bad guys, and throwing cars around then you'll have fun. The multiplayer is meh, you can play it if you want, it could have been better, but they've made it sort of a seperate game with a full 1,000 GS just for the campaign. The game performs super smooth with no issues and looks freakin amazing on a good HDR display, especially at night when there are so many bright, vibrant neon sign colors that transform the city setting and create a great mood and tone for a futuristic city. The steelbook I received for free with it from Best Buy is great too. I think people expected a little bit more from a game that was in development for so long, but overall it was a fun game that capitalized on what was good from the original. Definitely a must play for any fan of the original Crackdown.

Purchased the 1st crackdown day of release and was blown away. Superhero GTA while searching for random orbs was awesome. Fast forward to 2019 and pre-ordered this thinking not only was there going to be explosions but building were going to crumble down....until I read the reviews which are pretty much correct. There was so much more potential this game could have had and I'm sad after just 3-4 days, 4-5 hours a day with 110 hidden orbs and 400 agility orbs found I've completed the game. The driving is just as bad and feels exactly the same from 2007? Come on Microsoft Studios couldn't the driving have been improved some? Its a better polished version of the 1st game with a few cool new weapons but not much else. The NPC's seem to be randomly located even on the top of some buildings that have no entryway to top which is odd. It seems to me the developers never attempted to play any of the new gen games to get a better grasp on how to improve the driving or NPC behavior. GTA 3 liberty City on PS2 had more lifelike characters running around the city. Overall if you can look past the small details in the game and have never played the crackdown series then pick this game up when it drops some in price.

When i first started Crackdown 3 I was a little disappointed. The story is shallow and doesnt ever get deep. With that said, the gameplay is just as addicting as the first 2. Once i started collecting more orbs and leveling up my skills,I just had to keep going. Its a fun experience that you can pick up and play with no time commitment. This game probably wont win any awards but it will surely keep you entertained for 15-20 hours
