    As someone who started out disliking Racing games I found The Crew and my interest was ignited again. Despite what people said, I loved it, the different classes, the easy drifting, I loved the game so much I beat it three times over on separate accounts and even went on to play other racing games so imagine how excited I was when the new expansion was leaked!

    Fast forward to today when    As someone who started out disliking Racing games I found The Crew and my interest was ignited again. Despite what people said, I loved it, the different classes, the easy drifting, I loved the game so much I beat it three times over on separate accounts and even went on to play other racing games so imagine how excited I was when the new expansion was leaked!

    Fast forward to today when I bought it and I have never gone from loving a game to despising it so quickly before. For £25 you get around 6 new cars, only two of which you can actually use as the new classes, and two motorbikes which handle decently, the motorbikes are the one saving grace. The drift cars handle like a unicycle on ice making what could be enjoyable into a frustrating mess, the drag racing is fun once or twice until you realise its incredibly motonous and then the monster trucks are simply a coin grab minigame where again, the car handles like complete garbage and this is all it gives you, time trials and three party style minigames that are just a pain in the ass to play and that is it! Add that there is next to no story elements, just forced PvP events that you can only play once a month and its basically the little extras that Forza Horizon gives for free in a wonderful overpriced bundle. Were this £10 I would be inclined to say I got some moneys worth but for £25 I was offended that they actually let me pay that much.

    ONLY buy this if youve never played the crew cause its a decent addition to an otherwise great game, but as a standalone expansion? Its an embrassment    … Expand

    Reasonably fun, but not worth the price.

    With "Wild Run" you get: - A few new features with a ton of new bugs. - New "specs" for existing cars using the same body kits from previous "specs" - No bug fixes for existing issues Without "Wild Run" you get: - New rendering engine that doesn't really look any better, but adds new bugs. - Removal of existing functionality, replaced by    Reasonably fun, but not worth the price.

    Idea is great, an open world to cruise in, earn money & upgrades, but the final product is disappointing. First, the amount of rides is very limited + there are limited disciplines to ride in excepted performance, circuite, street, off road etc. But its all acceptable, were it not for the HORRIBLE a.i....or a total absence of it.

First, the amount of rides is very limited + there are limited disciplines to ride in excepted performance, circuite, street, off road etc. But its all acceptable, were it not for the HORRIBLE a.i....or a total absence of it. While you as a driver have to conquer the rather arcady car physics, the "a.i." will crash through, fly through, or do anything as possibly aburd to keep up. Rubber banding redefined. I actually had the situation that during a 2.5+ hour race, i crashed being first, then had to wait for the game to recalibrate for 2 minutes, only to get back on track while the opponents were 5 km away. Further, the game seems to conveniently spawn traffic right around the corner or in any other situation you cannot escape from. Also the steering seems to have a limited "out of control"zone working the opposite way where you as driver are confronted with situations where the car doesnt respond, or pulls to left or right making you crash into a convenietly placed obstacles. I have had occassions on 6 lane roads with no traffic...onlt to end up crashing into one single car popping out of nowhere. I remember the very first burnout. A true atcade racer where even in worst case scenarios by accident you survived. True fun! The crew is the opposite. No matter what the game finds ways to make sure you crash. Ubisoft, go do something else. Your games have been mediocre at best lately.… Expand

    The Crew: Wild Run Edition is the closest thing on the market to a racing MMO and I had more fun with it than with any other racing title this year.

    The Crew Wild Run is quite better than the launch version of the game, thanks to many graphics enhancements and three new game modes included in the Summit. Even tough there are still some features that need to be improved, such as the driving model, collisions detection and the impact of weather on vehicles.

    The UI is still an unintuitive mess, the story is still laughably bad and impossible for new players to avoid, and finding players to join my Crew frequently took far too long. And while the driving mechanics and general visuals have undoubtedly improved, they still haven't caught up to other, better racing games like Forza and Need For Speed. As a result, The Crew as a whole remains a lackluster experience, even with its monster truck half-pipes.
