10 Most Disappointing Games from Recent Years

CRACKDOWN 3

If Xbox execs could go back in time and stop themselves from saying that could easily see Crackdown being on the same level of prominence as other Microsoft franchises like Halo and Gears of War, they’d surely do it in a heartbeat. Crackdown 3 was delayed countless times and was shifted from studio to studio to studio in that period, so it’s no surprise that the game turned out to be an absolute mess. Its drab and ridiculously dated open world has absolutely nothing going on, combat is a mindless snoozefest, and visually, it felt like it was lagging behind its peers by years. On the multiplayer front, meanwhile- well, the less said the better, because after promising the world with its so-called cloud-powered destruction technology, it actually ended up being one of the most bland and forgettable multiplayer experiences in recent memory.
