Crackdown 3 Reviews
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.

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.

Crackdown 3 is boring, lifeless, and generic. How this game survived and Scalebound didn't is a mystery to me.
Considering the long time Crackdown 3 spent in development purgatory, it's not as bad as it could have been.
Against all expectations, Crackdown 3 managed to survive where others from that same E3 2014 show like Scalebound and Phantom Dust failed to see the light of day, but what we got was just a shinier version of a 2007 game.
Crackdown 3 is a refined improvement over the previous two instalments. The single and co-op campaign modes are super fun, and the jumping and combat systems give our character a real feeling of power and invincibility which transfers well to the player. Visually appealing, fast-paced and tons of missions to complete, I would recommend this game to anyone, not just fans of third-person action games. While not revolutionary, it is still a great example of its genre.
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 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.
A game of checklists that promise little excitement, Crackdown 3 is more of the same, but just not good enough.
Crackdown 3 had a troubled development process with numerious delays and almost got cancelled. Passing years and downgraded showcases lowered our expectations but even with that consideration, Crackdown 3 is not an enjoyable experience. It's not fun and it doesn't worth investing time. Therefore, we do not recommend this game at all, expect if you are a die hard Crackdown fan!

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.
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.

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 is similar to the film “The Expendables” - a relic from a previous era, simple and straightforward, but still able to entertain.

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.

Sumo Digital's "Crackdown 3" offers an extremely explosive gameplay experience with no doubt. However, the game leaves a lot to desire on many fronts, and this is the reason why.
Despite all the promises and the delays, Crackdown 3 is an unexpected miracle. It's genuinely a fun game to pick up and play for a couple of days, but not for longer, as its dated design will turn this experience into a boring and monotonous adventure. Might not be worth the full price, but for members of Xbox Game Pass it's an obligatory stop.

Kills for skills makes a grand return, and Crackdown 3 is the sequel fans have been waiting patiently for since the original launched.
Crackdown 3 is a disaster both in presentation and gameplay and fails to move the franchise forward. The game is utterly unsatisfying and lifeless and isn't worth anyone's time.
The game is not just about Terry Crews as Agent Jaxon. Instead it is about a select elite group of agents trying to free the world from a mastermind corporate psychopath who wants to enslave humanity into working for them. TerraNova stops at nothing to dominate this little island and it is your job to take them down anyway you see fit!
