Crackdown 3 Reviews
Crackdown 3 is a 6th or 7th generation title released in 2019, and is weak and shallow in every possible respect. The multiplayer section of the game is the most pointless experience in the video games industry in years and is suffering from a serious lack of content. Crackdown 3 might only be able to entertain fans of the series for maybe a few hours, and nothing more.

When it comes right down to it, everything in Crackdown 3 is by-the-numbers game design, and the end result is not more than the sum of its parts. There are hints of good ideas in Crackdown 3, but the end product isn't worth the $60 purchase. Unless you're getting it free with your Game Pass subscription, you're better off downloading the original game (currently free for all) and playing that instead.
"It falls flat on just about every aspect, making us wonder why Microsoft even delayed it for this long, anyway"
Crackdown 3 offers occasional glimpses of fun, but it's far too bogged down by outdated mechanics, bugs, and disappointing multiplayer to be worth anywhere near the full asking price.
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.
Crackdown 3 is far from a bad game but it also isn't necessary in this day and age.
Crackdown 3 feels outdated and mediocre, failing to live up to modern standards. If the cloud was supposed to be the future of gaming, it falls short in this title.

Although there is some fun to be had with Crackdown 3, in the end the game fails to truly deliver. The campaign is repetitive, short and the world feels empty for current standards. The multiplayer is the main letdown, with barely any exciting content.

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.
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.

In the end, this is the taste that is left after playing Crackdown 3. It is not that is a bad game, it is just that we have seen everything it offers before. In individual terms and as a whole.

No matter how you look at Crackdown 3, you'll only see a generic title that doesn't even have the slightest chance of succeeding. In the era of the great open world titles like Grand Theft Auto V or Saints Row, it really won't stand a chance.

It feels as satisfying as ever to drive and general improvements to the original’s underwhelming quantity of content make for a very solid experience to delve into.
A game of checklists that promise little excitement, Crackdown 3 is more of the same, but just not good enough.
Overall, Crackdown 3 is some good ol’ over the top fun. The simple formula of go there, do this, take out these enemies, free these people, does work but can get a little repetitive. But the liveliness of the world will keep you entertained.
Crackdown 3 is boring, lifeless, and generic. How this game survived and Scalebound didn't is a mystery to me.
Crackdown 3 is a flawed experience but dispite that, it can still offer several moments of fun.

Crackdown 3 could have been another proof that Microsoft can do its exclusive titles properly. But what has been released to us is a below average title that has absolutely nothing to offer. Content is boring and multiplayer can be one of the most corrupted part of the game.

Crackdown 3 won’t blow you away with its graphics and the story isn’t heartbreaking and memorable - but it’s fun... lots and lots of cathartic, explosive fun.
A mediocre story and dated mechanics bring this Terry Crews simulator down.
