Crackdown 3 Xbox One/X Review - Impulse Gamer

This is a good and relaxing game for older gamers who want to unwind and enjoy a fast paced world that is also casual, either alone or with friends. ‘Crackdown 3’ is perfect for anyone who only has short amounts of time to spare or is looking for a game with lots of replay value.

9/10 ?!?! What the hell?? I couldn't bring myself to keep playing after an hour.
I bought and tried to play the original Crackdown when it first came out, but burned out on it very quickly because of it's empty/shallow/repetitive gameplay -but especially because of the janky character movement/controls that were ALREADY outdated 12 years ago at release. This game STILL uses the same crappy control system and lame, pointless gameplay formula. The only improvement is that the oversized, empty spaces are a bit more bright and shiny.
Crews deserves better.

I'm going to try it soon but everyone has different tastes. This is just one persons opinion, gamespew also gave it a 9. There are lots of people who don't like it but there is a smaller portion that does. I'm interested to try it just to have my own opinion.

[BrianOBlivion]

Definitely, to each their own but I hope you have a GamePass subscription.

For a game that's been in development for 5 years it's not worth it. The game should be better

[SquillieDeeWilliams]

You may enjoy it if you give it more time. It is a lot of fun once you level up and unlock more weapons.

"The only improvement is that the oversized, empty spaces are a bit more bright and shiny. Crews deserves better."

Actually there is so much to do in this game, the map is so jam packed with stuff you'll never be not doing something...

Everyone has opinions. I hated The Last Of Us. Everyone has diff opinion on games.

[slasaru01]

Why... the controls in Crackdown were the most responsive among the many games that I played. They were very fluid and you even could change a direction of the movement when in a jump. Basically you could jump in a car, and jump out of it while it was flying and land in another location. The game could be boring, repetitive but the controls were amazing!

Where the controls suck is the latest God of War where the camera locks itself on the enemy even when you don't want it. I can't count how many times I lost the boss battles because the game decides instead of me that I should always look on enemy and turn the camera to him. Really stupid.

Thank god it’s on Gamepass this game is not worth a $60 release.

[oneconsoleonly]

I guess 60 is safe now in metacritic with this 9 lol

[DaDrunkenJester]

Is this score even counted on Meta?

[bouzebbal]

I hope so 🤣

[TheColbertinator]

Great score. Thank you Impulsegamer and Microsoft

I’ve had a good time with the game and I don’t see how you could take any review seriously that gave it below a 6. All the super low scores are from haters

[GOULDYBOBS]

You must be living in nostalgia because the game is weak. The cars say it all. They aren't even rendered. Driving was better on smugglers run. I know it's not a driving game but its pathetic

[DaDrunkenJester]

6 to 7 seems right to me

[optimus]

it seems that of the people that have played and enjoyed it the appeal remains the same " it's not a 9 but it is fun to play."...i am one of those people.... people act like this game is on par with fallout 76 which it is not...i agree with most of the this reviewer's sentiments about it, as far as driving there is less emphasis on driving at all simply because there are orbs to find and collect all over the place and being a super soldier with tremendous jumping abilities driving anywhere just doesn't seem like a worth while option by comparison when it's simply faster and more fun to jump your way anywhere. i do like the agency vehicles transformations though.. although i wouldn't give it a 4.5/5 or a 9...it feels more of a 7 or 7.5.

[Atticus_finch]

Out all the dozens of reviews, you could count in one hand the positive ones. It's fine if you like bad games and want to ignore all the lies, broken promises but people aren't haters for having higher standards.

[slavish0]

Another 9 out of 10. Good job

[Atticus_finch]

Cd3 is so good I went out and bought Just cause 3 for 5 bucks. I'm having a blast.

[mkis007]

That makes 2!

[feenix-5]

For real, a 9 out of 10? This game is 5 out of 10 at best

[Livingthedream]

I think 7 out of 10 is more accurate it's meant to be mindless fun. Imo heavy rain, until dawn and those type of games are 9's but most people would disagree with me and score they wayyyy lower. Everyone has different tastes, its all good I can see why people enjoy crackdown But it's just wasn't for me lol

[xRacer74x]

I loved Crackdown 1 more of the same with improved graphics is all I wanted.

[TeamIcoFan]

No.
Just no.
This game is not in the same class as RDR2 or God of War reboot.

[Adexus]

I finished the game last night and really enjoyed it, but it took me 7 hours and I would've been pretty annoyed if I had paid full price for it and not just used Game pass.

[Germaximus]

Cool. It's more about enjoying the game for what it is. It's nothing special at all but it is fun for sure. Definitely worth a play as a Game Pass game. $60? No.

I'd recommend Agents of Mayhem. That game is great.
