Crackdown 3

Supercops and robbers

- Samuel Roberts

I ’m stood in the busiest area I can find in the towering city of New Providence. The traffic suggests that it’s rush hour, which is what I was hoping for. My agent is wielding a singularity gun, a weapon that can fire multiple black holes, because why not? I shoot one into the street and many civilian cars are pulled into the swirling morass, before it all explodes. Give me this weapon. I need it.

Crackdown 3 feels just like Crackdown but with more toys, and I mean that as a compliment. For those who missed the 2007 Xbox 360 original, this comic book-y-looking game cast you as a super powered police officer, tasked with wiping out gang leaders dotted across the city in the fashion you saw fit. It was more loosely structured and chaotic than something like GTA.
