    A title like The Crew has to be more than a glorified "Google Earth" simulator or a VOIP chat client - especially if it's advertised as a "revolutionary action car and driving game".

    The Crew is a game filled with missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.

    I don't know what's more unfathomable: how all of these shortcomings made it into The Crew, or that they're piled high atop one of the most ambitious, masterful game worlds I've ever had the privilege of exploring. I've never seen a game deliver, dead to rights, on something that huge, difficult and elusive, then completely drop the ball on so many other basic fundamentals.

    The Crew however lacks that indistinguishable something that other games sitting in the same genre have in spades, and without it my urge to play the game quickly dwindled to being almost nonexistent.

    An odd mix of Test Drive Unlimited, Assassin’s Creed, and Destiny. And while the combination is tastier than it sounds it also has an awful lot of lumps in it.

    Such is the slow death of The Crew, a foundation of a serviceable racer, weighted down with the worst tendencies of AAA "added value" game design. There's a good game buried alive inside it, and when they finally plant the headstone, the cause of death will be chiseled as "trying too hard."

They are employees of the publisher reviewing their own game. The game was deliberately held from reviewers till after release and the User Reviews pumped full of 10/10 reviews to trick you into thinking this is a good game. it's not. It's average at best and the publisher shouldn't get a dime of your money for the sneaky way they treat consumers.
    Be a smart consumer: never buy day-one games until reviewers you trust have had a chance to see if you are being deceived.    … Full Review »
