The benefit to you is that you only have to download the one you actually want.

Splitting the game into its single and multiplayer components is something that happens all the time on PC, but is seen less often on consoles. Wrecking Zone is a separate application from the campaign. On the multiplayer side, Crackdown 3 features online-only co-operative play for its campaign and a PvP multiplayer called Wrecking Zone. Something to keep in mind if you have a 4K HDR TV. One quirk I noticed was that HDR support was turned off by default and can be turned on in the Options menu. The benefit of these low-fi visuals is that it runs like a dream on the Xbox One X, an unerring 60fps in 4K. The architecture is fairly blocky, the lighting is flat and the textures aren’t terribly detailed. Crackdown 3 actually looks quite simple, the way you would perhaps expect a title that began development at the end of the Xbox 360 era to look. There are numerous player models as the game allows you to switch between different Agency clones for various XP buffs, and they all look quite nice. Visually, Crackdown 3 is a bit of a mixed bag. I kept wanting more from it, and it wasn’t there. If you don’t mind the repetition, there is some fun to be had in blowing things up and some of the high level abilities do make a good impression, but the enjoyment is very shortlived. Then you have bafmodads like intel recordings, Agent DNA and hidden orbs to collect should you feel like going on an Achievement hunt. You have around six or seven different mission archetypes to plow through, all of which become rather trivial as your Agent’s power level rises, and two or three side-quests in the form of agility and vehicle races. The mission structure is very by-the-numbers open world fare. Last year’s Red Dead Redemption 2 featured a similar system for various abilities, but beyond that, I can’t remember the last AAA title to take this tack.

It’s great and I wish more open world action titles did things like this. The more you use each skill, the more you’ll level them up, the more unlocks you’ll earn. Each skill has its own tiered unlock tree. Want to carve up the map with heavy weapons or get up close and personal with your fists? Explosives and Melee will be your go-to moves. Prefer headshots and high mobility? Your Shooting and Agility scores will reflect that. Essentially, Crackdown 3 allows each player to build their character according to their personal strengths and tastes, awarding experience for actions taken. It brings back what has been, to date, the series’ best mechanical feature, the Skills for Kills system. Sound familiar? Of course it does, it’s the plot of every open world action title made from 2008 to 2014.īut what Crackdown 3 lacks in creativity, it tries to make up for in strong fundamentals. Each boss you topple brings you one step closer to the head of Terranova and peace in New Prosperity. Your job is to get amongst it, claw back as much territory from these bosses as you can, draw them into the open and take them down. The entire city has been divided up into boroughs controlled by brutal, superpowered crime bosses. You are dropped into the city of New Providence, home to the Terranova corporation responsible for the Blackout Attacks.

Your Agent, horrifically scarred but one of only a few Agency survivors is slowly restored to full health in a Star Wars bacta tank before being returned to active duty.

Perhaps this is a cheap shot, but if the single-player campaign is anything to go by, its hard to see what the developers spent all that time on.Ĭrackdown 3 begins with The Agency, the series’ peace-keeping para-military force, being decimated in a series of what become known as Blackout Attacks. It seems content to replicate the parts of the original that worked best without adding anything substantial or memorable to the formula. Years of delays don’t seem to have given developer Sumo Digital the space they needed to build on even the original game’s most basic concepts. I think we all knew, deep down, that Crackdown 3 was never going to be anything special.
