    I created an account just to say how awful this game is. So you need to be 'online always' with this game and apparently being signed into xbox live isn't enough -- you also need to be signed into a ubisoft account (why?).

You also need to download a special Ubisoft app just to create a Ubisoft account (why?). The ubisoft app itself is terrible and it took 15 mins just to create an account just so I could start the game. The game starts up and the picture is too big for my huge flatscreen and there's no way to adjust the size of the picture (why?) -- as such, I can't see what's on the edges off the screen, the captions, etc. You're in NY or something and you're driving some orange car -- after two turns, the game completely stopped responding to my left/right inputs so I couldn't steer the car. I quit the game and deleted it off my system. Seriously, how did this pass QA? I'm done with 'The Crew' franchise.… Expand

    A reboot of the first game that functions worse. Horrendous rubberbanding that artificially increases difficulty. The ability to fast travel everywhere immediately therefore removing any incentive to explore making the giant map rather redundant. No PvP until DECEMBER!

Horrendous rubberbanding that artificially increases difficulty. The ability to fast travel everywhere immediately therefore removing any incentive to explore making the giant map rather redundant. 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 thisWhile 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. A Forza Horizon festival wannabe developed by less talented devs. Glad I only rented this game. My condolences to those who bought it.

    This game got 1 because of the customization and that's about as good as it gets. I would however like a refund and compensation for the brain cells I lost and grief trying to play this game I paid for. There is no race restart or leaving so once you start a race your committed. There is also horrible rubber banding that cars will fly passed you and crash into you at 300 mph. The graphicsThis game got 1 because of the customization and that's about as good as it gets.

    A Ubisoft tem uma alta capacidade em estragar boas ideias, e isso aconteceu com o The Crew 2.

    O jogo possui um extenso mundo aberto, com a possibilidade de locomoção pela terra, mar ou ar, o que combinou muito bem com o jogo, e é o seu diferencial. Entretanto, não é possível em hipótese alguma resetar ou excluir o save do jogo, consequentemente, alterar o personagem.

    Entretanto, não é possível em hipótese alguma resetar ou excluir o save do jogo, consequentemente, alterar o personagem. Isso foi confirmado pelo próprio suporte da Ubisoft.

    Por fim, o jogo é always-on, por isso tem sempre que estar conectado com a internet. Isso não seria um problema, mas como o servidor fica caindo regularmente, isso prejudica o jogo.    … Expand

    The crew 2. What can i say what hasn't already been said? It's a "racing game" in the broadest sense of the word. Unfortunately Ubisoft is terrible at racing in games.

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

    A slightly above average arcade racer with a giant map that unfortunately brings more trouble than benefits. Dynamic switching of vehicles is funny, but it is unable to cover up the unfinished work. [Issue#288]

    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]

    An ambitious but watered-down racing experience that rarely satisfies. [Sept 2018, p.92]
