I went orb hunting in the original and collected them all, but for days after when I wasn't playing I would catch myself thinking I'd heard an orb nearby. At work, while shopping, just waiting to cross the road - the distinctive ringing of an orb!

I think both games are, or have been, given away free on the Xbox store, so you could always pick up a second-hand Xbox 360 to play them again.

I've considered it, but I have been tempted before to go for the One X or Series S because of the 4k upgrade. Was hoping to avoid that expenditure though, and I have some traumatic memories of my 360 turning into a jet engine whenever I played any game 🤣

After years of waiting for 3 and the expectation of complete city wide destruction it was one of my personal biggest let downs in gaming.. that and godfather 2

I knew from the start that the destruction was meant to be MP only, its all they talked about because it was back in the 'Using the cloud will give us 10x the power' so I wasn't let down so much with that

The fact you could beat the game in an afternoon, with most skills levelled, was atrocious. No skill level cap increase or interesting abilities, boring and bland city with bland crime bosses, I could go on.

People roast CD2 for being almost a clone of CD1, but I would argue I had tons more fun in that one than in 3. Everything just went wrong, didn't it? :(

It sure did, to be fair I loved the characters visual upgrades in CD1 as your powered up and that was the only thing I missed in the second game

Yeah, I loved the suit you get at max strength/agility but it was still subpar to seeing your agent get absolutely chonkey and change stature based on different skill levels. Same goes for the cars aswell, those transformations were beastly

If you have ultimate game pass it gives you access to cloud gaming, you could play Xbox games in browser with a controller.

Man, what i wouldn't give to have a Crackdown 1 + 2 port on PC or PC GamePass. Both classics of my childhood and extremely fun. No longer have an Xbox, and sadly we only have Crackdown 3 on PC GamePass (Say what you will about that one).
