    Its ok for the scope of it. Fun and plenty to do, but the long load times, easy to get stuck, floaty controls and Ugly graphics (for today standards) hold the crew 2 back a bit, other than that, its good if you get it on sale.. feels like a game made in 2010 though..

    -Style and ''story'' got a very annoying social media style which feels really tryhard
    -Some menus and features are really unintuítive (I had to google how to restart a race)

    All in all the game is a step down in every way from it's predecessor (which was decent imo). It was the first bad game in a while that didn't just fail technically or in execution but which literally started to anger me.    … Expand

    Confusing and misleading navigation system made me go to a wrong way and found there is no menu for reset the race even go back to title menu. Stupid UI.
    Unreasonable recommendation of level. In hard difficulty recommending 210lv, a 243lv vehicle cannot even chase up with others.
    1/10 for good graphics.

    Probably the worst driving physics ever created in a racing game... And worse than many non-racing games like GTA5 etc.
    Way worse than the first one
    Bought it on a sale for around 10 Euros and still regret it a lot

The second iteration of The Crew sees your bland protagonist switching seamlessly between, street, offload, air, and water races that span the entire United States. Obviously, the map isn't to scale, but one of the few high points in my play through was watching the scenery change as I traveled from coast to coast. While each city definitely has a distinct look to it, each environment is so completely lifeless that the only difference between racing through Norfolk and racing through New York are the visuals. Speaking of things that are completely devoid of personality, the voice acting in this game is absolutely atrocious - think Matthew Perry in Fallout: New Vegas, but instead of just one guy that you have to talk to a few times, it's every character and they never stop talking. Just awful. The vehicle selection is fine, but the prices on a lot of the vehicles seem artificially inflated to tempt you into buying Crew Bux or whatever they're called. The only problem with that is that other than speed, just about everything that I drove (comparing vehicles of the same type, of course) felt very similar. Also, as other reviewers have mentioned, The Crew 2 features some pretty egregious rubberbanding, so don't be shocked when that shiny new GT-R you just bought gets overtaken by a Fiat. The artificial difficulty curve felt a little less heinous in the plane and boat races, but I gave up on those pretty quickly because they were just too dull to hold my interest for very long. Perhaps the devs can fix some of these issues in a future patch, but for now I can't recommend this game as anything other than a "rent - but only if you're really desperate and there's nothing better to choose from."

    utterly lifeless and devoid of personality.

    I really wanted to like the Prequel, with it's crime story, bad car handling and huge, filled open world. I was just as exited as I found out there's a Sequel coming.

There are a lot of quite useless features, as you have to buy a car up to 4 times and more often in different match up's. This would have worked out so much better if done like the first game did, buy a car once, then tune it with racing-, rally-, or street-kits. They also changed the HQ system. Now there's only ONE HQ, where to individualise your cars, in the entire overworld. So either you have to drive throughout the whole world or use fast travel. Speaking of which, the overworld in the crew 1 was full of challenges and fun stuff to do and explore, but not this time. It's hardly filled. There's nothing there to explore, just a way too large overworld with severe lack of detail and polishing, just to drive from one event to another. Further, there were inventions made in the first game, such as the navigation line in game, so you didn't had too have a look on the minimap all the time, guess what: it's gone. You spend most of the time looking in the bottom right corner, checking you're still on the right route to you destination than actually playing the game. What the actual **** Ubisoft and Ivory Tower? You took everything that was bad and multiplied it times 50, while cutting out everything The Crew initially did in a great way. The Rubberband AI was a problem a lot of racing games have, but oh my god. If you're in the last place, the first three places rush upon so you can completely forget about completing an event. If you're right on top, the whole field stays behind oneself, so if you crash in the last turn you almost instantly loose the race. "Then start the race over again" you might say, but guess what: they forgot implementing a way to start over a race. Races must be finished before starting over again. What the literal **** Ivory Tower and Ubisoft, just wtf. Don't stop reading: there's more to complain about. Just like the first game, you have to progress your vehicles so later events can be completed, but sometimes, there's such a huge step between the difficulty levels you have to grind the crap outta this game, e.g. the Alpha Racing class, which refers to Formula 1. There are 5 races in this section in total. Just driving the first two, easier ones, pushes your alpha racing car to a level of 221, but to further progress in this series, your car must at least go for a 250, wich means the player has to repeat those two races about 25 TIMES! No, really, what the **** was going on in their minds, while the game was in development? This is a game that reliefs on it's online features, it's just: there are no online features at all. This game is a huge mess. A huge, pulsating dick right in the face of us, gamers. What the **** Ubisoft?… Expand

    While the idea for The Crew is an interesting one, the result is bland and boring. It's really difficult to pinpoint the reason why the game is bad because there are so many problems with it.

It's really difficult to pinpoint the reason why the game is bad because there are so many problems with it.

    The driving is not surprisingly the best part of the game. The driving physics however are as confused as the rest. It's neither arcade nor simulation. It has very noticeable random input lag that makes it impossible to enjoy (PS4). The cars don't feel like they have weight or momentum, it's just skidding around in a mix between hovercraft and boxcar. This extends to the off-road races and the really bad motorcycle implementation.

    Jumping into a plane comes with it's own caveats. Most notably exposing the flat and boring looking world. Controls are no better here and doing tricks to impress your followers can get frustrating because the game will not recognize combos for some odd reason whenever it feels like it. Aerobatics planes are not nimble enough and fast planes are simply frustrating.

    The worst mode of transportation is the boat. It has virtually no mechanics other than Nitro Boost and it feels sluggish. There are no real water physics or waves. Jumps have no weight and only slow you down while the point of all the boring water events is to simply GO FAST! Utterly disappointing.

    If that was not enough, the UI designer should be publicly tared and feathered for the atrocity he produced. The whole interface of this game is confused and unnecessarily complicated. It's not the retro 80's style which is oddly quite refreshing to look at, it's the sheer stupidity and immersion breaking aspect that makes this the worst UI i have seen by a AAA game in a long time.

    Anything you do will rip you out of your game experience into a loading full screen menu totally stopping the action and immersion. It should be used as an example of how not to design a game UI.

    Overall the game is a generic racing game that due to it's ambitious map size suffers in the detail department and due to it's jack of all trades multi vehicle gimmick produces only a mediocre experience.

    It might be worth coming back to in 6-12 months when this Early Access release has fully matured and got a few very needed updates. Until then, stay away from it.    … Expand

    - Collisions are a joke, no visible damages on your car, even if you crash at full speed. You can pass through bushes but the most simple barrier will stop you directly.
    - There is no real difference driving on the road or grass or anything else.
    - You have to use the nitro just a little to go faster, and when you stop your car keep the same speed.
    - The world is empty and boring, no cops, often you have a car or a tree appear in front of you. I would have liked just one big living city.
    - Bad UX/UI: I use only the menu to select a race, simplest than the map. You can not change the radio station while in the final race. Loading time for everything.
    - Extremely rare loots for challenges. No coop challenges.
    - There is some "long-race" in which you have to drive for 15min+., one error at the end and you have to restart from the beginning.
    - Disconnection means you have to restart everything (back to the main menu). I would like an option "I want to play alone and DO NOT want to synchronize my score, so let me play offline. xoxo"
    - Repetitive: If you don't buy one of the most powerful vehicles, you will have to do the same race again and again just to reach the level required for the next race.

    Worst experience ever in a driving game! No fun at all.

    What was I expecting? A driving game with challenges, one living map (as GTA V), cops, coop challenges/races, only streetcar (not planes or boats...).
    This game does not worth the full price, get it at 10$, no more.

    Race game 20y ago: Play. Learn the track race. Train. Win based on your skills.
    The Crew 2: Play again and again the same race to win loots and BE ABLE to win the next race.

For progression you'll be racing against AI, because there is no multiplayer in this always online title, and each race will be a landslide win or loss thanks to the worst rubberbanding I've ever experienced. The AI will rocket out of the gates (with cars that have 50% the "performance" stat as yours) and maintain a lead for a while before puttering out and letting you have a win. Or, as the case is with my current boat race, they will kill your hopes and dreams by passing you at breakneck speeds while you are pushing past top speed with a full nitro boost. It is not fun to race when you are either handed the win or simply not allowed to win because the AI says so.

    The other parts of the game are equally low quality. Did I mention no PvP at launch? The graphics are abysmal with low-effort textures pasted on low effort buildings stamped across a bland landscape. There aren't even any car damage indications. The rally raid races are time trials which boil down to "tree dodging simulator" more than a race. The photo mode doesn't seem to work and the UI is just horrible. The loot box "performance parts" are worthless because the AI scale difficulty with rubberbanding.

Mind you this is an online only racing game where the core mechanic is racing with friends yet there's no competitive modes whatsoever where as the first game had it right out the gate. The plane sections are no more than time trials, same as the off-road raids (which weren't in the first game). Cops are advertised but absent. Having said all that it does look pretty on the XB1X at 1800p. Yay! Though after watching comparison videos there are sections of the game that actually received a visual downgrade when viewed side by side with the original. Oh and the follower progression system is a blatant rip-off of Forza Horizon 3's system which this game clearly strives to be but falls woefully short.    … Expand

    And cherry on the top.Ui behaviours and race progression.When you start the game or you are new to the racing genre,you should expect,that you'll win some races,just for the pleasurable beginning.But no,no in Crew II.One mistake and you may restart the event,because you cannot win.It's terrible.

    No future content,patch or anything can improve this game.If roots are rotten,there is nothing you can do.

    Crew II is one of worse big racing games ever created.Game made without any care,concept and programming skills.I prefer to play Crazy Cars III on Amiga,after 30 years than to do anything with this Ivory Tower "gem".
    So dear players,gamers please DO NOT BUY CREW II.Because if you do,you'll encourage other developers to release quasi games and give them impression,that cheating you,deceiving you is actually good idea.

    But in The Crew 2, you very quickly reach the point where it's nearly impossible to win a race, and thus any chance to get enough in-game currency to unlock new cars, despite they are needed to have any chance to win those races.

    Fortunately, you are rewarded with a very small amount of in-game currency each time you loose a race.

    But you will then have to lose the same races over and over for hours, if not days, to get enough in game currency rewards to unlock new vehicles, which is both boring and very frustrating, or use your credit card to buy them with real world money, which I won't do since I've already paid around $40 for this game !!!

    So follow my advice and avoid this hidden pay-to-win game at all cost, and just continue playing with "The Crew 1", which is by far much more enjoyable, despite there isn't any boat or plane to drive.

    Complete lack of content on release. No landmarks, scarce skill challenges, no PVP until December. The rubberbanding in this game is dismal and extremely annoying. There's no point levelling cars up when the AI can just over take you even if you've done everything correctly. And levelling up cars is all they expect you to do until December.

    There is no offline mode. So once the developers decide to switch off the servers, this game will end up in the trash can. Charging $60 for a game without offline singleplayer is a cashgrab. To make matters worse, you have to wait half a year to get PvP multiplayer. I don't recommed you pick this game up, because it's pointless to buy an online only game when there is no PvP yet.

    This game is worse than bad! Bought it for ~13$ and I still feel it like a total waste of money! Nothing is enjoyable, everything is broken, they manage to screw up even the simplest street race you can play. Stay away from this game!

    The game itself is not bad, but it could be better. Much better. If the game's developers and directors and producers paid more attention to gameplay and mechanics rather than looking only at the beauty and quantity of cars to increase sales.

This review was written 6 months after The Crew 2 was released.

    I tried to watch a lot of reviews for this game before buying it on sale for $20... It is pretty much the only open world racing game we have on PS4 other than Need for Speed. After they released the PVP gameplay I decided to give it a shot. I might be a little bias because I am coming from a racing simulator (Gran Turismo Sport), but this game has one major flaw that makes it unplayable for me, and that is the steering wheel support. Xbox players have Forza Horizon 4 which apparently has decent steering wheel support for an open world game, and Gran Turismo Sport just SHINES with its realism and top notch steering wheel response by default. I really feel like I'm driving with that game. Anyway The Crew 2 just feels... well like a joke to be honest. It feels like they didn't care about wheel support at all. I'm using a T150 and it suffers from 2 major flaws. One is that there is no way to map the controls to your liking (which is also an issue for the standard controller, more on this later) but the force feedback is almost nonexistent. This results in a game that doesn't even feel worthy of being called an arcade racer. You can't change camera controls easily using the wheel, because the standard controller buttons for changing camera (right on the d-pad), I kid you not, actually turns the car on the steering wheel... I'm not joking, the directional buttons on the STEERING WHEEL turns the car... Instead of doing something, I don't know, useful? Like changing the camera? Which is what it does on the regular controller? I wish I could change it but... You know, no custom mapping allowed. Someone actually changed the buttons for the steering wheel controls and said "Yeah, I guess some people might use these to steer with..." Unbelievable mapping issues with this game... The problem with the force feedback is that it doesn't engage unless you've just had a major accident making the driving in this game feel SUPER unrealistic. The auto centering is almost nonexistent, and there is some resistance to the wheel by default. So you literally have to struggle with the wheel to center after taking a turn. Its hilarious and bad. The old arcade racers from the 90's felt better than this! I got this game from using my Sony rewards points. If I had actually paid $20 dollars for this experience, or heaven forbid $60, I would feel like a bum (Not insulting anyone who purchased this, but don't you feel like you lost out on $20 worth of cheeseburgers? or candy? Imagine how many Cheeseburgers you could buy with $60!)

    As for the mapping issues with the standard controller, its best to compare to Gran Turismo Sport... Let me give you an example... When braking before a turn, you should be downshifting, and while using a sequential gearbox (not traditional manual, for this instance) you don't necessarily need to release your foot from the throttle when upshifting... let's just say we're using paddle shifters for this example. Anyways, The Crew 2 actually decided to map the shift buttons as L1 and R1, which means, guess what, you won't be downshifting while braking! Its insane, all they need to do to fix this is allow custom mapping. Add that and better force feedback support and this game might be playable, but its 6 months after release... I'm not holding my breath. I'll stick with the racing sims I can respect and love thank you very much.

    I wish you guys at Ubisoft could just get The Crew games right... You have such a good idea but fail every single time. The first one suffered from bad DLC issues and those terrible crates which made it unplayable as an open world game "Hey! You have a free police car! Don't forget to pick it up from the shop!" But you only get the free police car if you pay $20 in DLC... "HEHEHE I can't wait for our target audience (Which is apparently toddlers because this game is seriously sophomoric for a racing game" to be fooled into buying the DLC for their free car!" Seriously I'm surprised you guys didn't get sued from that one...

    Anyways I own the game now and in the slim chance the guys at Ubisoft fix these 2 game breaking issues, I'll rewrite the review to be more fitting. I've wanted to like The Crew since the original one, but Ubisoft just can't deliver a good product... This game is for children. I wish they spent more time on the driving aspect and less on adding planes, boats, helicopters, hovercraft, and bikes. Which is actually the only reason I added 2 points to this review. Its got a good variety of vehicles to drive. Too bad the racing is terrible. I wonder if the airplanes are compatible with the Thrustmaster Hotas? I'm thinking about getting that... Will update as appropriate.    … Expand

    This game is so chill it is crazy. You want to come third or better? Cool. You just want to drive around? Cool. You want to stare at the ocean? Fine. Here's some points no matter what you do, chill, relax, race if you want, don't race, whatever. I love it. It is trully amazing. I am not even joking.

    минусы: гринд , убогая физика , плохая оптимизация(900p + 30 fps и сжатое изображение)
    плюсы: хорошая музыка , большой автопарк
    Вывод: покупать не рекомендую из за убогой оптимизации чуть глаза не вылезли. Игра стала большим разочарованием, в первую часть наиграл 130 часов.    минусы: гринд , убогая физика , плохая оптимизация(900p + 30 fps и сжатое изображение)

    The Crew 2 is a vast improvement on the original in every aspect. The environments offer a vast, exciting, and expansive world to explore. The huge variety of racing events, alongside a near endless progression system, promises hours of play time, and the car customization is the best we have seen this generation.
