    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.

    Este jogo é incrível! Eu recebi e ainda não posso parar de jogar. Os gráficos são tão detalhadas para um game e é desafiador, mas divertido e terá que jogar por horas! A história é complexa e profundamente pensado. O melhor jogo que eu já joguei de forma

    This game is called The Crew, this game is a good game, because you can play and drive a lot of real life cars like a Ferrari, and the best thing is that you can change the look of the cars and how they drive, like on the dirt or mud, or the road but to get the cars you have to finish races to get money to buy the cars, the game is only an online game where you can drive around and do whatThis game is called The Crew, this game is a good game, because you can play and drive a lot of real life cars like a Ferrari, and the best thing is that you can change the look of the cars and how they drive, like on the dirt or mud, or the road but to get the cars you have to finish races to get money to buy the cars, the game is only an online game where you can drive around and do what you want, the map of the game is America (USA), it is almost like real life with how long it takes to move from one place of the map to the other, you can even be chased by the police when you do bad things. 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.

    I was enjoying The Crew, after I had sorted the horrible controls into something usable. After an hour or so though, it becomes apparent that the game cheats.

I have seen this in other games but it is extreme in the crew and destroys immersion an brings frustration. The story is pretty awful and the missions are boring. I played for 90 mins and I'm done.

    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 !)

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.

    I understand people saying that the graphics are not 100%, they are not the best, but not bad. people that are comparing this to driveclub is just unfair, driveclub is a very linear small game compared to this.
    with what ivory tower have achieved the graphics suit ok.
    the audio, especially the engine noise is great. the voice acting is ok and the cut scenes are pretty exciting. all in all a good game that deserves credit for what it has achieved. buy it.

I found myself being skeptical at first but before that i followed this game from its debut simply because of the scale. The map saves this game really. 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. Its a game that will keep you busy for a long time. And if you can look past the short comings and just enjoy it for what it is you will have a blast. Expand

Unfortunately, the performance is lousy, while the game looks aged - more like a DirectX 8 game, rather than anything even remotely modern. A lot of optimization, that would have been necessary, simply didn't happen. While the lack of detail is just a pity, the flickering edges - even with every possible AA mode - start to hurt my eyes after playing for an hour.
    Conculsion: good plan, bad execution! I really really hope for big preformance patches (as my PC isn't slow at all - at least as for any other recently released open-world game).

    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.

    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.

The graphics are decent, they look about 2009-2011 graphics. The game runs at 1080p solid 30fps on PS4. A problem is that you NEED PS PLUS to play this and you always have to be online. That's a problem because PSN often gets hacked offline. Still a pretty fun game that will keep you playing for about a month until you get bored of the map. Expand

    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.
    - 2 extensions not worth investing except if you love cop cars or drag races

    This game was marketed with amazing car customization and from the marketing they you could choose the spec for your car (dirt, raid, circuit, street, performance) and it seemed like you could pretty much have an off-road Lamborghini but in actuality a lot of the cars that you would want to have a certain spec don't.
    The storyline in this game is absolutely bland and horrible with nothing interesting about it.
    Ok so a racing game is all about the racing so the driving has to be good right? Well this games isn't, the cars feel off and it doesn't feel good to drive the cars in game.

    Overall this game sucks you might want to buy it if you see it for about $5, spend any more than that on this boring piece of crap and you're insane.
    (Plus at some point they will probably stop supporting this game's servers and this game will be literally un playable since its online only)

    The map is literally huge, and I love to explore the map and drive longer distances. Something that does kind of annoy me is the overcrowded and annoying task manager.

    I love the selection of cars, and this is something that keeps the game running well. The selection of parts can sometimes be a little bit too much.

    Please have an another try at this game, many people will realise that this game is fun and how much effort that has been included in this world. Unfortunately, you will most likely drive alone and the overall finish needs to be improved.

The car roster in this game is very good from the 350z and camaros to Lamborginies and Ferraris and aston martins. However, this game isnt perfect. The car sounds are relativley too similar, the story missions become pretty repetitive and the graphics are kind of on the low side. But the world its in is a fun world to explore with mutiple fun locations and landmarks to explore. so the crew isnt a terrible game and if you like racing and awesome customization give it a try Expand

    The Crew isn't the best looking game, nor does it have the best story but its ambitious open world is enjoyable to explore. Buy this game for the open world, the atmosphere and the long road trips ahead. 7/10

The Pros are the huge map and event variety (although there are missions 3 hours+, they give you the biggest payout) and the cockpit view. It tries a story and to be honest it's not TOO bad, the game can definitely be improved and it will be in time with the WildRun expansion on the 17th November. Expand

    How is that people continue buying Ubisoft games?. The Crew has a terrible story (not that you buy a racing game for its plot), outdated graphics (almost PS2 quality) and a plethora of glitches that will keep you raging for hours.

    Please vote with your wallet and stop supporting Ubisoft.

    Probably the Best racing game for PS4 nothing comes close or is even as enjoyable as the crew has to offer. The only gripe is some of the sounds, micro-transactions and prices of the cars. Other than that solid game has great graphics and physics it's like the MCLA of next-gen

    One of the best racing games on PS4.
    The story line is slightly weak and kinda cliche. Oh I must avenge my brother by racing. Seen that before.
    Apart from that, there is a good selection of cars with plenty of customisation (unlike NFS 2015 - GOD what a let down) if you're not restricted to what class you can chose.
    I would recommend this game

    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.

In regards to the story, TDU 1 and 2 were light years ahead to the Crew. The maps of TDU 1 (1:1 Hawai) and TDU 2 (1:1 Ibiza and 1:1 Hawai) both were great. 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.

    The Crew, a game with a large open world but tiresome tasks to explore it. 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.

    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.

    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.

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...

    (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.

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.
