    An epic racing experience that offers much more content than the original game.

    The Crew 2 successfully expand its stage from ground to sky and sea, bringing a new trend to racing games. It still has some problems with the AI, handling and graphics performance, but overall it is a decent game with a good reproduction of American landscapes.

    Despite Ivory Tower sticking their fingers in a lot of pies, every racing discipline is a joy to play.

    Overall The Crew 2 has been set up for some big improvements to the series and the developer has done a lot to make it fun for everyone. There are lots of missions to unlock, as well as the ability to expand your vehicle library with the money you make in-game from races. You will lose yourself in this game.

    The Crew 2 is a whisker away from being a great game. You can spend an entire afternoon just enjoying the cars and driving without a specific purpose, while taking in some of the marvelous views, and it feels really good. However, the major downsides - ubiquitous copy-pasting and a rather scant number of genuine innovations - don't allow me to recommend this game to absolutely everyone; not just yet.

  1. Next week, once the servers are busy, I’ll return and find out whether this is a game that desperately needs the internet it insists upon to shine. I’ll be delighted if that’s the case. Right now, this is an awful lot of not very much. [Single-player review]

    So played first crew, spent 100+ hours in that game. It was amazing and fun and exciting, graphics were alright, cars felt like cars. Now thisSo played first crew, spent 100+ hours in that game. It was amazing and fun and exciting, graphics were alright, cars felt like cars. Now this comes out and lets compare to the first part:
    - Graphics: same if not worse.
    - Sound: worse and not barely linked to whats happening to the vehicle in game (Im talking gear switches etc)
    - Physics: cars/planes/boats they all feel the same - like soap on watery surface. Completely cardboard.
    - Map : smaller than the original, replaying same races over and over again? Really?!

    All in all it doesn't feel like a work on mistakes from the first game ( cuz lets face it: not perfect) instead we got some horrible feeling arcade race/flight/boat thing. I tell you this, try it and then try NFS Most Wanted for example, or even better underground 2. We can all agree neither of theese games are sims, both arcade, but I can bet you will have same or even better experience with old NFS than this. And lets not compare it to any other arcade racing game that is NOT released yet.

So it's simple to do whatever you want & the matches are mostly too easy, but this does not only have advantages: It's like a carnival without deeper sense and plausible background, just to put on a show for artificial followers. Doing this the fun factor doesn't come up through the locomotion physics either: above all roadcontact is missing never mind finetuning for driving, water does not affect boats and wind does not exist for airplanes. Obviously lacks a plenty of experience with racingcompetitions in every kind of these. Also the sounds do not create a special atmosphere, besides there's only a glorified USA-area. Does the future of videogames look like this? That soulless game is the Jack of all trades as master of none, whose advertising promises more than it is! In fact for everything only 24GB of storage is required instead of the announced 55. All in all my aroused expectation for such a high-priced title is kinda disappointed, therefor here are at least 2 out of 10 points (always same smooth intro & clearly arranged car selection are given, smart will be exited via hidden radio menu anyway microtransactions cannot be dangerous here). Since i'm bored of Microsofts mainstream Forzas, ultimately i prefer the spirit of eArts matured NfS-Ghostseries currently Payback. Full Review »
