    By far the best racing game to ever come out. This game is not a 10/10 but definitely a 10/10 racing game. Overall the game is probably 8.5-9/10. Hundreds of hours of game play and with more to in the future with free updates.

    Really good game. Giant map, full of stuff to do and the RPG stuff is really exiting. You can really feel the changes on the handling when you level up!

    + Loads of sidequests
    + Loads of mainquests
    + RPG elements (Yes, as a MMORPG with cars)
    + Many other racers online that actually behaves sense
    + Neat, is not uglier than the PS2 games that many say. Some stuff may look a bit ugly ("PS3 graphics"), but it is definitely neat considering the size.
    + Fantastic environments and views!
    + Fun varying missions!
    + Challenging assignments, bordering on too difficult.
    + Arcade steering, a bit like GTA5 or NFS.

    -Not Soooo many cars to choose from in the beginning (you get mor later)
    -Difficult At the beginning of certain missions
    -Not So-called "nex-gen" graphics maybe, if there even is such a thing as that.

    Summary:
    Best driving game ever imo. You can drive right where you want (after a few missions).
    This is a lot more fun than any other car racing in the same class!

    Such Freedom, Much Road, wow.
    10/10 for a game that lives up to its expectations and more!    … Expand

    This is the best heir of Test Drive Unlimited. The map is huge, the handling is arcade and fun.
    Really Great game!
    Graphics may not be the best but gameplay is way more important and the game is still beautifull.

    I have been waiting for a game like this to come along since TDU 2 came out! A great soundtrack, awesome scenery and with such great variety! Then the driving and such a range of challenges are available for you to try. This will be keeping me busy all through Christmas.

    When you actually give this game a chance lots of fun can be had! The thriving open world with many different environments added to the story, faction missions, faction wars and skill challenges this game has lots to offer! Sure some tweaks could be made but i am sure they will come in due time! See you on the roads!!

Steering was a bit confusing at first but that is because I was used to everything else. I swear, 50% of the negative reviews are from people who have not explored the open world and played through more than the first three missions.

Many people are calling the game out on its graphics, well the game is huge with tons of activity going on constantly so I would argue that the graphics are an achievement, when all is considered. The story is intriguing, but I don't believe that is the selling point of this game. The selling point is racing with friends, your crew, engaging in multiplayer races, exploring, going off road, driving on the freeway and taking any damn exit you want. Sure there are a lot of negative reviews, because all of the people enjoying the game are too busy to take time away to write a review. There is so much to do in this game I have no idea how anyone can complain about a lack of content. I'm not thrilled by the microtransactions, but that seems to be the norm.… 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 !!

    Great massive open world racing game. You enjoy every moment, drive with people and get them into your crew. Things available to do in this game never ends.

    Game has negative sides too. Not perfect graphics(but definitely good for an open world game). Handling is not great as default, but if you tweak it, you can make it good too.

    The Crew is a great game for what it is. It is an arcade style, open world racing game. It is stable and I haven't found any bugs or crashes so far and the frame rate is pretty steady. At first I thought the handling of the cars sucked but it improves as you level up your car. There is a lot of visual customizations but no tuning features, you unlock car parts doing missions and trials. IThe Crew is a great game for what it is.

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

    We were promised an open world with tons to explore and that's the game we were delivered. It has everything you want in a racing game: Immersive open world, day and night system, weather effects, customization, car variety, multiplayer free roam, single-player campaign and PvP game modes. All in all it's a brilliant racing game that offers well over 500 hours of gameplay!

    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.

    While moments of genuine beauty exist, they occur in the context of a game that otherwise simply cannot compete with its contemporaries when it comes to visual presentation - a symptom, perhaps, of the seven-year development cycle. [Feb 2015, p.104]
