    Grab some friends and this game is special. The story is well paced and intruiging. The graphics on the cars are stellar. The variety of cars and upgrades are solid.

    Started off as a good game, but slowly I came to the realization that this game is trash. It's fun with friends and the map is large, but other than that, I don't recommend it. The update would have been good, if it was for free. The update (The Crew: Wild Run) should have been the initial game.

    I want a refund because it wont let me do anything on it. also when I race I cant get passed any races or missions because the other cars are to fast and I can't see anything because everything is too dark.

You can also be in races with other people but they don’t have to be your friend, you can get special cars and motorbikes but you will have to pay for them with real money. You can add weapons to your cars like an EMP to stop the police from arresting you, the cars and motorbikes can have boost on them which will make the car or motorbike go faster for a small amount of time. I think the best car in the game is the Lamborghini Huracan, I think the best place to drive my cars is the motorways because I can go as fast as I want without having to stop or slow down because of traffic.… Expand

    If you are looking for a fun racing game. This is NOT for you. Some of the beginning races are all but impossible to do solo. The AI rubber banding is worse than any other driving game I have played. A simple google search for select missions in this game and it isn’t hard to see why the scores are so low. Very disappointed in this game and as a result I will not be purchasing The Crew 2.

It's a rent if you want to explore because if you are a die hard Forza fan, it might hold your attention for 1 hour and nothing more. It's not a serious racing game and if updates come and it improves altogether, this is one to look out for. Until then, it's a mediocre game.… Expand

I've never gotten into customisation, but i applied a chrome white to my car then went through some decals/liveries and my mouth was agape with how stunning and realistic it all looked. Drive Club promised us that we'd feel like we owned the cars by allowing us to inspect every nook and cranny of any vehicle we owned but they still havent (or wont) patch that in. I felt like I owned my car in this. They've even animated the engine parts. The only concession is the world isnt as detailed as other racers but the size of the world is to blame. This will be remedied in future iterations, i'm sure. The lighting/shading is definitely up to par. This game will impress you… Expand

    For the Interested, here is the Pros/Mids/Cons of the game.

    PROS+
    + Racing coop (up to 4 player max per mission or pvp game)
    + Very detailed environment (Working NPC's, a lot of Wilflife and alot of map details)
    + Better graphics than Test Drive Unlimited 2
    + Detailed leaderboards and statistics for everything
    + Good car handling and controls (with a few exceptions since its a NFS styled game)
    + Polices Forces that can chases you almost evrywhere. (give challenge somtimes)
    + Open world where you can drive wherever you want (Even discover some easter eggs in the world)
    + Good transition between game cinématics and gamplay (So you fell like you gived control of it after mission movies.)
    + Posibility to send your friend do faction missions for you. (so you can save time instead of doing a 2h mission for a bit more of easy game money)
    + 50 Cars for first release batch (Witch is not bad for a game that features quite detailed car interiors)
    + Offers car customisation such as pre-fab vynils/stickers, Rims, Spoilers and some chasis mods. ( Alot more visual customisation to offer compared to TDU2)
    + Day and Night Cycle System

    MIDS~
    ~ Servers are down for maintenance sometimes. (yes it can happen, its an online game)
    ~ Uplay Launcher (at least i can be used / merged whit steam tho)
    ~ Storymode is a bit short. (but is still entertaining to watch)
    ~ Missing Mirrors Animations for Cockpit view in some Cars. (they already working on it already for next patch )
    ~ Weather conditions changes only when you go the mountains where there is snow (they might could use a bit rain but its not that bad)
    ~ Can have unblanced AI (depending if you and your crew have to high level gap)

    CONS-
    - No offline mode (you need a internet connection to play this game)
    - No possibility to add your own Music (but you can customise your playlist atleast)
    - Microtransactions

    So as so far for the rest for the game and the gamplay itself, the pleasure of free roaming those cars with friends is pretty Neat, if your one of thos players who dislike this game, just go back to driveclub or what so ever other racing sim game you were playing, otherwise if your looking for car tunning, driving everywhere from road to montains, and like fast paced races for the fun of playing it, this game i what you are looking for !

    All together i would say, "The Crew" is a cool game to play for cruising around with Friends or even to play alone i would say, sure the game have some bugs and have a litle lack on MMO since its more concentrated on the NFS genre gamplay but is worth the price when we know they will comme up whit more !

    (10 thumbs up)

    Continue the good work Ubi we know that you can do it and update this until perfection as other titles did before !!
    (Afterall They made Driver San Fransico witch was a great & fun game so why not the crew !)    … Expand

There are tons of different race types and and challenges. If you can get over the negatives you'll have no problem having a good time upgrading yourself and you're cars. The handling is pretty good, and remember, it is an arcade racer. And the graphics are above-average... Since it is so huge, some details are left to be desired, but pretty good overall in my opinion.

    Negatives: Where do I start?!?!?! There are too many problems connecting to racers (or even finding people who want to join co-op missions). It took too long to receive my pre-ordered cars (so long that they don't matter now) and still have not received my Crew Credits. The micro-transactions take you out of the equation as you are too far behind the competition. And the levels of the cars feel worthless, as I lost a co-op race with a level 48, 2015 Ford Mustang GT against all less and level 20 starter cars.

    I am just incredibly disappointed in this game, and it just doesn't feel worth already. I'm trading in today while I can still get decent money back. Advice save your time and money, and just get Far Cry 4... It is the only game Ubisoft has made that is any good.    … Expand

The fact that you can drive across the country is amazing. From NY to LA is about 45 mins and seeing landmarks along the way is a classic american road trip. Like said, the map saves the game. Its not perfect and i feel Ubisoft missed a lots of chances here to really make it great. Hopefully The Crew 2 fixes these issues. I say its totally worth the $60 though.

    An initially promising, good looking game, completely ruined by CHEAP mechanics and frustrating game design. What's worse, is that the game's narrators repeatedly INSULT you at every turn. Otherwise, a mix between Forza Horizon and a story based Need for Speed game of old.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I like The Crew for its very vast world. It is a good representation of the USA containing a lot of key spots.
    It is not a graphical masterpiece but we have some very nice light effects and reflects, and the cars are nice too, only the environment is low quality, but that's the sacrifice to do for a 5000 square km fully open-world map.
    The Spec system is a good idea which allows to vary race styles. The handling is special and arcade, the whole game isn't realistic when it comes to compare cars specifications, but it is not The Crew's point and at least you don't have to systematically pick the "best car" but your favorite one (from a certain Spec) with no big difference compared to the other (same Spec) cars. All of this applies if the cars are equally customized obviously.
    It has good online features (with bad servers unfortunately) and I love to cruise around with random online people I meet on the road. You really feel free in this game.
    Car customization is decent, the only bad thing is that you can't make your own vinyles (stickers) but have to choose among preseted ones.
    The bad aspects of this game are the following ones :
    - Damages on the cars are incoherent and very basic.
    - There are a lot of loading and connexion problems.
    - Despite its immensity, the map is very basic. For example, I haven't seen any 10 lanes highway in LA, what I mean is that all the highways are the same 4 or 6 laned roads, all the trees look the same, in other words every element always has the same skin, wherever you are.

    The Crew can be enjoyable for some casual cross-country joy rides, especially if you have some friends to drive along. However, it comes up entirely short of most of its goals, and makes a wreck of car handling and competition for the sake of lackluster MMO mechanics.
