    The Crew does a lot of things right. Not only does it give you a huge game world to explore, but the ability to change up the whole experience by tuning your car differently is an excellent addition to Ivory Tower’s ambitious racer, allowing you to take one car and do so much more than just a mere race. Apart from the microtransactions you cannot go wrong here by jumping behind the dashboard of your favourite car and taking off into the sunset across the desert.

    It's hard not to like The Crew because beneath the tiring police chases, clunky physics and so-so graphics, there's a really, really great racing game, with an amazing open world to explore.

    Great map and coop mode, but shows poor controls and some technical issues.

    Ubisoft's Social racer arrives as a notable first attempt. There is some initial fun to be had in the game, however, there are some mistakes that we can't ignore that heavily bring the game down.

    The Crew isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t have any game breaking bugs and the framerate is stable. It’s an enjoyable game when playing alone, but comes to life with multiple players in your crew. There’s a ton of content, a humongous world to explore and the addicting level system will keep you coming back for more.

    The Crew is a huge racing game with an extraordinary setting and tons of contents that sometimes seriously lacks of fun due to an awful mission design and a bad balance.

    Ubisoft’s familiar structural pitfalls like microtransactions, online-only play, and other trappings hinder rather than enhance, but those things have become par for the course by now. Thankfully, they don’t mar the overall experience, and that was an overtly positive one for me.

    For all its structural successes, The Crew is also slightly bland and lacks of a deep control scheme or mission variety.

    Online play is very rewarding, but is over-emphasized at times. With such a massive world to explore, and an addictive leveling system, fans of this genre will be busy for months to come.

    The Crew is a successful open world race game with RPG elements. Its only downfalls are the simplistic storyline and the absurd micro-transactions.

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 »

    A mediocre arcade racing game that suffers from bad graphics, low texture detail and also cars looks almost better in NFS underground 2.
