Orbs are now more assessable and the XP rewards are based on the difficulty to collect rather than how high off the ground they are. However, the sheer diversity of terrain has now made this a more exciting endeavour. As fun as this was in the beginning, it slowly became tedious and often forced players to revisit the same areas over and over again in order to max out their stats. Players were forced to start off small, collecting orbs closer to the ground and slowly making their way higher as their abilities increased. I previous titles, levelling up your jumping abilities were more of a means to an end by collecting the brightly coloured XP orbs scattered around the map.

All of which are dying to be explored and climbed, allowing players to really get the full appreciation of their characters acrobatic abilities.
Every inch of this New Providence is covered with rooftops, industrial pipe lines, high rise buildings, mono rail tracks, and the most overly complex and confusing network of highways and bridges I have ever encountered in my life.

As I said before, Crackdown 3 is situated in a mega city. I never said anything about what’s on top of the island. “But what’s the trade off?” you might be asking? Why make such a small map? Well that’s the thing, I never said the map was small, only the islands where small. In all honesty, all of the islands in this game are quite literally within jumping distance of one another. New Providence is nothing short of a mega city, comprised of a dozen small islands within close proximity to one another. Those who played the previous tiles would remember how large and spread out the islands of Pacific City were, but this isn’t the case. Instead of going for vast open world like most sandbox games in recent years, ‘Crackdown 3’ has condensed its borders to a small group of closely connected islands. But, brutality aside, the most interesting thing about the game isn’t how it has grown, but rather, shrunk. With the introduction of new element weapons and an array of uniquely diverse enemies ranging from robot henchmen to swarms of killer drones, ‘Crackdown 3’ has truly done justice on the 12 year old franchise. Sure, ‘Crackdown 2’ was a bit of a letdown with the whole zombie thing, but not anymore. In essence, ‘Crackdown 3’ is the Charazard we’ve all been waiting for ‘Crackdown One’ to evolve into. Where other developers would seek to experiment with new game mechanics to wow players, Sumo Digital did something far cleverer: they improved upon what already worked.

The agency needed me and I gladly answered the call. A fire was lit once again, and the warmth of excitement pulsed through my veins as I picked up my first weapon. I quickly found this same nostalgia return in an instant as I eagerly watched the opening cinematic of ‘Crackdown 3’. Growing up on the Xbox 360, I have fond memories of jumping over buildings, shooting bad guys, then picking up their corpses and throwing them at more bad guys.
