My Little CrimeCraft Review

[InkSix]

It's a solid third-person shooter with good elements for character development and weapon personalization. In the beginning at it's launch it wasn't worth looking at, being $60.00 and no trial, but I believe now it really is something good. You can download the game for free and see if you like the look and feel of the gameplay, and then pay $5.00 or $10.00 a month. There is crafting with lots of levels, skills, in-combat items, permanent character augmentation, and a good enough room for personalization to make you, and even your gun stand out from others. Guns can also be augmented to work better/differently.

One of my favorite things about CrimeCraft is the premium clothes and items. If you subscribe, they'll give you an allowance each month, so you don't have to give them any extra money unless you want to. I get 25GB a month for my $10.00 subscription, and with 15GB I was able to purchase the clothes I wanted. I wish others MMOs I had played would have given me this kind of allowance.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a good third-person shooter MMO where you can join a gang, fight other gangs, be an individual, and only spend $10.00 from the get go for the whole experience, you can't go wrong with CrimeCraft.

SiSSY'S Raptr CrimeCraft Review


I really don't understand why a lot of people don't like it. Since I know there's a bunch of you that don't, mind telling me why I'm so stupid to play this game really late into the morning?

I played this in it's beta stages, and it was content-wise, final. There were tons of bugs that spanned all areas of the game and broke gameplay a lot. I haven't played the final version (Because it was initially $60), but it seems they are mostly gone. The dev team was unresponsive to all of our bug reports and so we got a general feeling of disdain from the devs. The gameplay was unfair at the time as well because you could have level 50s fight level 3s and still get loads of cash while we're stuck respawning. I thought the game was overall fun, but the beta level issues, bugs, and overall lack of content was offsetting.

We kept telling the devs that it wouldn't be a fully-functional game by the deadline they announced (August at the time), and especially not for the price they wanted. Though many bought it initially and were for the most part swindled, the game has definitely improved, especially in its pay style and content. Overall it's a "good" game, but is by no means exemplary. A good note, but not something you would necessarily recommend to all of your friends. Maybe it's just that I can't afford it, or if money were no object, want to play it due to my experience with it. Either way, I can't dislike it seeing as how they've fixed most of the gripes I had with it.

You put it well dormedas. I was actually one of the first players to sign up on the CrimeCraft forums ever (January of 09) and that was barely after the website was even up, i had one of the highest point counts on their forums, and was on every day. I was in the 2nd round of closed betas, and quit playing about 30mins into it. The game had so many errors and bugs and features that were totally broken. The servers were extremely laggy and lots of stuff was unresponsive. Their was hardly any tutorial or help on anything and it was difficult figuring out why you couldn't do certain things. The biggest thing i was looking forward to was being in a gang and having gang fights but couldn't even get that far because the game was so broken.

Nope, CC blew its chance with me :\
