    I always liked Test Drive Unlimited and The Crew gave me that vibe. It was pure fun. Game has huge map, a lot of cars and different missions and tasks. Soundtrack is decent and overall game looks good, especially with changing weather conditions. Putting a story in this kind of game is a hit or miss, and it falls flat a bit.

    The Crew is a completely passing game. It's a mediocre racing video game. A typical game from Ubisoft is a huge empty open world with nothing to do. And in general, the idea is excellent, the implementation is terrible. The Crew doesn't have the most important thing in the game of this genre - it's terribly boring to drive.

I'm not even sure where she's worse at The Crew or Need for Speed. Also, with optimization, the game has obvious problems, I understand that the game was released only at the beginning of the PS4 life path, but such long downloads are not forgivable. Also graphically, the game is disappointing, smoothing and shadows in the game seem to be absent. A passing game that is not worth wasting time on… Expand

Up to try any genre of games and sometimes I find something new that I didn't think I'd like. I own a PC (built by me), Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS3, PS4, PS5, and a Switch. I prefer Playstation due to their focus on narrative games. For scoring, I’ll be using the Gameinformer review scale and of course influenced by my personal opinions.

    (8) Very Good. Innovated, but perhaps not in the right choice for everyone. This score indicates that there are many good things to be had, but arguable so.

    Not a bad arcade racer. It is an impressive how they made a mini USA, just wish the smoothed out some of the turns since it feels a like a computer just auto made the roads. Felt like they weren’t touched by a developer. At first the graphics were pretty bad but after a few months after release they provided a free update that improved the visuals and added weather. Story is decent but nothing memorable.    … Expand

Of course the enviroment and little details are not as nice as in The Crew succesor "The Crew 2" but really, who is looking at such a little thing when going 250 km/h or so. Many racing disciplines was really refreshing idea + it all was programmed to be in one game, back before there wasn't any game witch let player ride on terrain, road etc. with diffrent cars, accualy everyone behave diffrent on other surface. Of course I am writing about arcade type of car games, not simulations because we know there was such game like Dirt or WRC which are simulations. I really liked the aspect of Alex's skill tree (the guy we drives). I liked the story, reminded me of Fast & Furious Braga part.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So. The crew a open world video game set in America where you start off the story mode in a police chase then after that you go to a street race event where you pick up your brother and take him to a spot to meet someone and well if you haven't played it yet despite it being 2020 a spoiler.. some guy called Shiv comes and kills your brother and he drops the pistol on the floor and drives away and when the police come the frame you and after that you join the 5/10 street racer club or gang or something to get to the top spot which is V8 where Shiv is which is why he kills your brother because your brother was the top and he was the spot down (V6)... Or basically you get released out of jail and you buy a car to start street racing to climb up the positions... Some story missions are infuriatingly hard and there's a 4 hour faction race.... BUT there are some things I like about the crew like how there are american landmarks like the statue of liberty and Mt. Rushmore and yada yada... Now the driving physics are questionable mainly collisions with walls and other cars involving flying when going 300 KPH down the highway and hitting the front of a car and hitting a stone wall stops you instantly and sometimes the light from the sparks goes longer then the sparks coming off your car/bike/monster truck. The online is awful with cars 300 meters behind me suddenly teleporting in front of me but its probably the game connecting to a American server when I'm in Oceania. Now it may just be because I have a launch PS4 but I'm constantly getting 15-20 fps when playing and also a race track is not there and it is Circuit Of The Americas because COTA opened in 2012 and this game was released in 2014 and I don't know if I'm blind but I don't think Texas exists in this game yet they predicted the future by putting Trump's wall... Ok I don't think a 5000 character review is necessary so I'll just leave it at 1936 letters… Expand

    What can I even say? The game is just one of those games where you just lose focus. The games physics are awful. It's like driving on the moon. The game lacks a personality as well. The story is very forgetful, I don't even know what's happening most of the time with the story. The game lacks cars as well as most of them are generic same 'seen already in a dozen games' I would avoid this racer.

    8/10. This map is huge, and its graphics are pretty good for a 2014 game. There are many activities to do around the US and does have pretty good lighting. A few problems I do reconcile is that the story was kind of bland and too quick, and the objectives have somewhat little variety to it. But overall, if you want to explore America without the comfort of your seat, this is the game for you.

    Graphics look great. The physics are impossible. The game has impossible challenges and a weird sense of humor. You also have to get 1st place in every event in order to advance, which takes a lot of the joy out of the game. You can't just race and enjoy it, you have to win every time.

Also, it contains monster trucks which is awesome, except they're nothing like monstertrucks. YouVery disappointing game.

The idea seems great on paper big open world, lot's of cars to drive and your typical oh look at me protagonist. The reality is that what we got barely passes as a spite of good quality, and more like a wanna be driving simulator with the effect of totally breaking the law.

    Now that's not to say it's all bad, I mean on a casual user level it really excels in giving you a enjoyable driving game, so here are some good points to start positive. The driving is really nice and I mean nice, the various types of cars and the way they behave on the different surfaces adds the click of realism to your high speed antics and 1 second in it races.

    The next point is based on the model of cars, now there are not loads, but what we get is a good selection of different ranges that suit everyone's play style. My only critique with this is the various kits you can apply, for example a dirt spec or performance spec, and how only certain cars can have some where others can have more.

    The final good point is the visuals, now the open world is great but the visual appearance is lacking in the wow look at me department. However the look of the cars is nice, the sleek designs, paint jobs and wheel trims look really nice no matter if your out for a Sunday drive or cursing north of 300mph on the narrow alleys of Detroit.

    Now for the bad, playing the game is wobbly to put it nicely, the missions seem rinse and repeat and the competition in races is stupid often blaring in to a giant pile up and you winning 25 seconds in front of everyone else. Also the constant little challenges you face whilst driving is beyond annoying, for example I want to drive really fast get use to my new car, oh wait let me do the slalom challenge first.

    As far as story missions go, they don't improve, having you either race against the clock, race through checkpoints, or race against such and such before the time runs out. There are other things but worth mentioning is not really necessary as you can probably guess there either time related or collect something.

    In conclusion I'll hand it to Ubisoft and Ivory Tower, they went ambitious and took the risk, the problem was that they had so much room and little in the way of things to purposefully fill it up. If your looking to buy don't get overly excited it bottles up nicely as a cool driving game, but what it wanted to be it never quite was.    … Expand

    First off the map is unlike anything I've ever seen, better than any of the horizon maps. That's the main reason it's given such a favorable score from me. The bad side of this game is awful however. Many of the races and missions are just logic-less. You could have a 900 rated Ferrari but catch-up would still enable a Hummer to beat you. 60% of the races will require at least a 2nd try.First off the map is unlike anything I've ever seen, better than any of the horizon maps.

You could have a 900 rated Ferrari but catch-up would still enable a Hummer to beat you. 60% of the races will require at least a 2nd try. There is one in particular where you had to take down a **** prison bus that was somehow always a step quicker than your best car, which just makes zero sense. Also the main character Alex is a cocky little **** and the other characters are silly **** But above all of the trash story missions, the free roam aspect of the game was very enjoyable. From the tip of Maine to Baja California it's about a 75 mile drive so the map is pretty large. It also features many landmarks and destinations that you can interact with and drive through. Two of my favorites are the Ski Jumps near Salt Lake City and the Plane Cemetery in Tuscon. The car type system is nice but only 2 of the 5 really matter at the end of the game. The 5 types of cars are Street, Dirt, Perf, Raid, and Circuit. Street, Perf, and Circuit are for On road use and Dirt and Raid are for offroad use. But as it turns out, Street is just a **** version of Perf, which is just a **** version of Circuit. And to that effect, Dirt is just a **** version of Raid. So the only 2 that really end up mattering are Raid and Circuit. It would be better if they made the lesser 3 more essential in one way or another but it doesn't bother me too much. But if your like me and like games with big interesting maps, The Crew is worth a shout… 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.

    The Crew is the inofficial successor of Test Drive Unlimited 1+2 (inofficially because the developer team of TDU rebranded themself and switched to a different publisher).

Now in TDU 3 aka The Crew 1 one can drive a smaller incarnation of USA, unfortunately it's a lot smaller than the real country, so many things are missing, but the map is still big. Unfortunately also that The Crew still uses the TDU graphic engines which means a lot of straight roads and very wide roads and buildings cannot be very close to the road - an game engine limitation.So big cities like New York look weird, e.g. the Time Square looks very weird, etc. Some story missions to catch cars are to hard. Some races are too long. The in-game cutscenes look a weird sometimes, as one sees only cars and no one enters or exits cars. TDU 1+2 had way better cutscenes. With several updates and addons The Crew received good graphics and nice weather effects. Unfortunately The Crew is an always online game, it's just a bad business decisions, there is no technical reason for it - TDU 1+2 run fine in offline mode, and when you were online you could play online against others or just see them driving around. The Crew 2 which uses the same USA map again, hopefully improves the game engine to feature 2018 graphics and more interesting story missions and a better car physics and more fun things beside the main story and less grinding gameplay and no always-on-dongle.… Expand

    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.
