    The Crew didn’t do well with the critics back in 2014 and none of my friends were a massive fan of the game either.

I found this to be a shame because I actually quite enjoyed it despite its shortcomings. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t the best racing game I’ve ever experienced before but The Crew did offer a few unique features and these unique features caused me to sink quite a few enjoyable hours into the game. As you can imagine then I’m probably one of the few that was looking forward to The Crew 2, and I’m pleased to say that The Crew 2 is definitely an improvement over the original and I’m hoping that the improvements will bring the people who disliked the game back to the table. The first thing you will notice about the game is how much you can do. I’m not exaggerating when I say that the content available to you will keep you satisfied for months to come and the best thing is that you won’t become bored of the content either because it has variety dotted throughout. To accompany the vast amount of content then you also have an absolutely massive world in which the game takes place in. This world is gigantic and driving around it never gets boring because there’s always something different for you to do. If you like multiple vehicles to drive in this gigantic world then you’ll be pleased to know that there’s something for everybody. Each vehicle feels completely different and by them doing this it gives the game even more replayability because in the end you’re eager to try out each different vehicle. There is also a good progression system put into place that allows you to improve your vehicle quite considerably and on the whole this system has been done well, but I did find it a little grindy when trying to get the best results for the vehicle I had at the time. If you played the first game then you’ll recall that the game suffered with quite a few technichal issues, but you’ll be pleased to know that these technichal issues don’t resurface in The Crew 2, in fact technically the game holds up really well throughout your time with the game and you don’t bump into many problems at all, which is great. Something The Crew did get right last time around though was its presentation and once again they get it spot on here. Visually the game can look absolutely stunning at times and the sound design that accompanies it is equally as good which without a doubt gives the game a nice creative edge to it. At the end of the day The Crew 2 is a game that I’ll be enjoying for ages and I’m pleased to see that they’ve improved certain areas and for that reason I definitely recommend that you give this game a try even if you didn’t like the first game that much.… Expand

I quit the game and deleted it off my system. Seriously, how did this pass QA? I'm done with 'The Crew' franchise.… Expand

No PvP until DECEMBER! Mind you this is an online only racing game where the core mechanic is racing with friends yet there's no competitive modes whatsoever where as the first game had it right out the gate. The plane sections are no more than time trials, same as the off-road raids (which weren't in the first game). Cops are advertised but absent. Having said all that it does look pretty on the XB1X at 1800p. Yay! Though after watching comparison videos there are sections of the game that actually received a visual downgrade when viewed side by side with the original. Oh and the follower progression system is a blatant rip-off of Forza Horizon 3's system which this game clearly strives to be but falls woefully short.… Expand

    While the map is huge, the graphics are above average and the game is mostly polished, Crew 2 is severely misguided as to what makes an open world racer feel good.

Making a huge open world is fine and it is quite impressive but the world feels dead, sure the environments look decent enough but who cares when it lacks character and any trace of civilisation or incentive to explore this barren open world.

    World physics are horrendous, I don't know why but gravity in this game is totally messed up, it feels like you fall straight down like there is a magnet attracting it and that's weird and honestly horrible. There's zero suspension physics so jumps are kinda retarded in this game.

    Next the weather, there's next to none in this game. Again the world feels empty and lacks character because of this shallow weather implementation. Horrible.

    I don't really mind physics all that much but I guess when there's a standard set by Forza Horizon 2/3 you start to understand just how important car physics are. Cars in the Crew 2 are like GTA or Watch Dogs cars, there's very little that differentiates one from the other beyond speed. Cars don't feel different enough and the physics are kinda trash. Very shallow physics and just really bad for a racer. There's also not a lot of details on cars, again FH3 made every car look beautiful, filled to the brim with details. Car damage is again very shallow.

    Races are really dumb in this game, there's way too many jumps. I don't get why, it looks stupid and feels like you're playing Asphalt 8. Way too many jumps it just doesn't make you feel like you control the car. And honestly you don't need to because the wall will do it for you. Wall riding is faster than taking a racing line, yes we've got retarded game design. I know this is catered to kids and casuals but there's a limit.

    Other vehichles are worse to play with. Boats feel like you're playing the boat game on wii sports resort but it's still infinitely worse. Physics are again superficial and there is zero interactivity with the waves. Even a decade old game made waves an integral part of boat racing.

    Driving planes put me to sleep, I don't know why it's there, but it's there and it's boring. Everything about this game screams generic, superficial and it feels like everything in this game is an after thought except for the large open world but even there they stopped after rendering the environments.

    Graphics are above average but still pretty bad, cars lack detail, pop in is everywhere. Very superficial modelling.

    This game is bad, don't buy it, it has nothing to offer as a racer but if you want to see averagely rendered American landmarks buy it when it's 10 euros... Wait for Forza Horizon 4, I know it's a gruelling wait but it'll be worth it. It looks like FH4 is going to yet again set the standard for an open world racer.    … Expand

    Crap game with terrible voice acting, horrendous car handling, terrible soundtrack and rubber banding AI that blatantly cheats. No PVP multiplayer or matchmaking until December.

The races are challenging and fun, and even when I'm getting my butt kicked I feel motivated to keep trying rather than frustrated.

    In the current gaming world, you need to have the ability to collaborate or compete with friends by more than simply racing. That's why free drive routes were so effective in the first game, as you could set a waypoint for the people in your convoy, and race to a destination with your friends, essentially being able to create custom routes with checkpoints. And this is the main problem. The summit is a let down also and since that's the only thing pretty much keeping the game alive, the game has essentially silenced itself, making it seem like Ubisoft doesn't really care.

    Despite this being an online-only game, at least much like The Crew 1, you don't need an XBox Live Gold membership, unless you want to play with other players. I'll try to give it a fair review. Updates give new content at least. So in this case since there are no cops in this game, unless you want to dress your Dodge Charger SRT8 a police livery, I'll give it an 8.

Unfortunately Ubisoft is terrible at racing in games. It feels like you're constantly driving on ice Even FWD and 4WD cars handle like RWD. Somewhere i read this game is perfect for casuals. I doubt it. Every time you start racing the AI, the agressive rubberbanding makes sure you never get a nice lead. I was driving a Chevy Z1 and got overtaken by a Fiat Abarth 500. The recommended level was 80, my car level was 228. It's races against the AI that make the game a frustrating luck based game of trial and error. This excessive grinding also goes for unlocking different races like drift or drag. Sometimes you need 50,000 points to unlock new activities, but races only give around 2,000, if you win. You can drive around the map and do delivery missions or get away missions or slalom, but they only reward you with max 250 points. Even drifting and jumping has a max score of 500 points per time, after which you need to wait for the points to be collected. So in short: the racing is bad, the progression is extremely slow due to excessive grind and faster cars doesn't mean easier races. It's like your typical Ubisoft game: a bland open world, with lots to see, but hardly anything fun to do. Jumping from car to boat to plane in an instant is fun at first, but it gets boring fast. If you have a PS4 buy Gran Turismo or Need for Speed instead. If you are on xbox buy any of the Forza Horizons.… Expand

    The Crew 2 Review:

    The Crew 2 is so visually-striking for my Xbox One and I have progressed through loads of levels. It never makes me bored while driving around the whole United States with famous landmarks. This is fit to be a next-gen game! Overall, I'd rate this an 8.5/10 because I wasn't into the story at all.

    I rarely had fun playing The Crew 2 and usually after 20 minutes tops my mind was drifting away towards anything more enjoyable (e.g. Forza Horizon 3, which is a better game in every way possible). Once again the developers bit more than they could chew, putting quantity above quality. Yes, there are 250 licensed machines and you can switch between them instantly, but there’s no joy in driving or flying them in the huge but empty and boring world. Plus the AI is very poor and the career mode did little to keep me playing. [09/2018, p.52]
