“Crackdown 3's mediocre campaign fills a big open world with paint-by-numbers gameplay that barely evolves after the opening hours.”
“Crackdown 3's mediocre, collectible‑heavy campaign and poor Wrecking Zone multiplayer are rarely satisfying busywork.”
“Crackdown 3's Wrecking Zone is a barebones and uninteresting multiplayer mode that makes poor use of its impressive environmental destruction.”
“Crackdown 3 feels like a game unstuck from time, a piece of 2007-era design that sneaked through into 2019, with middling results.”
