![]() ![]() It was quite the claim, especially when it was showcased at E3 over the years, but even with numerous delays, this selling point fails to live up to its own hype. An entire mini city could be fully-rendered - and full demolished - in real-time. With the power of cloud servers, we were promised untold levels of processing power. Destruction physics on a scale we’d never seen before. Then there’s the multiplayer-focused action of the Wrecking Zone - the feature Crackdown 3 was unveiled with and sold on. There are only a handful of maps in Wrecking Zone at launch, but each one is fully destructible from giant statutes to high bridges. It's hilarious fun, just not in a way that's going to shock or surprise you. ![]() It's all the usual stock filler you'd expect from an open-world, but it nails the souped-up power fantasy Crackdown does so well. You can even collect new agents to play with, should you ever want to take a break from playing as Jaxon (although Terry Crews' involvement feels largely wasted since his character barely talks). While the driving model is still a little too slippy at times, there are enough races (which automatically drop you into a car in seconds once activated) and foot races (which see you traversing rooftops at speed) so you'll always have a nearby activity to undertake. These battles are all a riot and are easily some of the best moments in the game, ranging from ascending a tower controlled by a psychopathic AI to battling a giant mech that's determined to crush by flinging pieces of fallen masonry.
