Depending on how you take down the enemies the experience points you get will account for different things. Something that really stuck out to me was the levelling system. I personally like this kind of freedom as you will want to explore the city in search of the agility orbs anyways and if there happens to be an activity that will help identify a boss, you can just do it! The only downside is that the game is heavily repetitive after awhile. You can take them on in any order you want. From the get-go, you know who the bosses are and how to get to them. There’s no “Main Story” quest line, or at least not that I ever felt. You start off with a mission that is nice and simple as it plays as your tutorial to the game, but after that, you have complete freedom to go about the city. What I love about these sandbox titles is the freedom the games give you, and Crackdown 3 does not disappoint in this department. ![]() You have Terry Crews in your studio and you drown him out with everything else?! Of course, thankfully you can adjust all the individual sound levels, but to come out of the gate with literally every other noise drowning out your own character’s voice seems pretty silly. I would say that it’s purely an artistic choice instead of shooting for hyper-realism, but it’s not the most technically advanced game we’ve seen this generation.Īnother issue I felt the game suffers from is the overall sound. I will include the overall visuals as a Con to the game, but to some extent, I didn’t hate the look of it. However, I didn’t think that the cinematic segments were that bad, as they looked visually appealing. In fact, I would go so far as to say that I feel like the game looks like an upscaled Xbox 360 game (like the original Crackdown running on the Xbox One X). For being a game that is released towards the end of this current generation, they are not great. Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, the graphics. After the opening video, I was finally released into the world of Crackdown 3. What’s there not to love when you have a game in which the fantastic Terry Crews is the main character?! So, upon starting the game, I was presented with choosing which Agent I want to play as, this is an absolute no-brainer, Commander Jaxon is my guy. All I’ve heard is positive comments (in regards to the originals) and so, with a newly acquired Xbox One X and Gamepass, I was ready to experience the third game at it’s very best. I was excited to jump into the game as I have never played any of the previous Crackdown titles. I will just apologise now as I am certain I will mention Saints Row 4 a few times in this review, and those of you that have played Saints Row 4 will understand my references immediately! So does the game live up to the Crackdown legacy, or is Crackdown 3 too little too late? Fast Forward a few years and I would play Saints Row. Now, I’m no stranger to these sandbox games As a young impressionable teenager, I played Grand Theft Auto 3 and fell in love with the open world formula. After 9 years and multiple delays, the world is finally able to play Crackdown 3.
