Crackdown 3

I started this up today. I chose a female character whose name I forget, just call her, The Fiery Angel of Doom.

Fiery Angel of Doom

I used a super-punch I unlocked after my melee skills leveled up. You hold down “b” and she does a rush forward and “WHAM”. I’m using it on everything about my size. I have a grenade launcher for large enemies and destructible objects and a homing rocket launcher for the drones.

The gameplay is largely the same as Crackdown 1. It has very smooth mechanics: jumping, climbing, shooting, and running are effortless and fun. Driving is unfortunately not very good. There seems to be only a handful of vehicles to acquire so far. I’m disappointed with that. I loved collecting cars in Crackdown 1. The graphics are a little better and the explosions are bigger, but really it’s not a whole lot different from the first game.

Despite it being basically a reboot of Crackdown 1 with modern spit and polish, I’m loving it and so is my friend Mark. We’ll be challenging each other to new heights of mayhem in this game for weeks to come.

That character sounds like my kind of woman. :) Ha ha.

She's definitely tough. Her name is Chapman (not mine, the game's). She's always got a slight snarl on her lips and she loves to punch everything.

So ... this game launched for free on GamePass, according to a couple Twitter comments I read!

Yep. That's how I got it. I clicked a kind of preorder thing on Game Pass a month ago and it downloaded day-one.

Crackdown 1 was my favorite because it was so crazy. This is one of those times I wish I had an X1 because I would play a ton of the reboot.

I feel like the game is better in some ways, but I'm not sure if will have the staying power the first one had for me. Right now, it's feeling like I'll finish it pretty quickly and move on.

Is Terry Crew really in this game, or was that just an advertising ploy to get folks to buy into it?

Nice! I saw him in a commercial for the game. I was hoping he'd be in it. Perfect guy for the job!

Such a bad ass. I was so happy to see that I could play as him.

My friend Mark chose Terry, so I thought I'd be different.
