The crew

Before I start I want to tell you that you can get this game FREE this month from uplay and it will stay in your library forever! https://club.ubisoft.com/en-en/ubi30

I played this game for about 2 hours and it started very nice, I liked the story and the graphics/gameplay.
The only thing that pissed me is that I can't play with my friends like I want. I saw that there is a multiplayer and I think you can find players on the map, but this idea is bad in my opinion.
You can play this game for fun/story, the multiplayer is kinda bad.

Let's talk more about this game:

The Crew is a 2014 online racing video game set in a large open world map across the United States developed by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections and published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with an Xbox 360 port developed by Asobo Studio.



The single-player campaign is 20 hours long, and entails infiltrating criminal groups with protagonist Alex Taylor (Troy Baker). Players can also participate in mini-games called skills challenges that are peppered across the world. They are triggered when a player drives through them and it involves completing challenges such as weaving through gates and staying as close to a racing line as possible for a period of time.



The Crew received mixed reviews from critics. Critics overall praised the game's immense world, but disliked the game's technical issues relating to its online-only gameplay, as well as its complicated user interface and use of microtransactions.

Peter Brown from GameSpot gave the game a 5/10, also praising the massive game world, as well as the single-player mission, but criticizing the automatically activated missions, frustrating side-missions, such as the raid car missions and the fleeing missions, as well as outdated graphics, poor physics, AI and user interface, texture pop-in and disappointing cars, buildings and environment models. He also criticized the game for not encouraging players to form a crew to play missions. He summarized the review by saying that "The Crew isn't that good after all. When you can't play due to server issues, you find a new game to play and leave The Crew in your dust.



The game's price is about 30$ and you can get it FREE this month.

Give it a try and tell me what do you think.

 

Hopefully they can get the server issues fixed. From a graphic standpoint the game world itself looks incredibly realistic, the lighting gives it a more realistic feel than more popular games like grand theft auto in my opinion. Then again I am only going off the game-play trailer.

 

Played this game a while back and thought it was okay.
I've played a lot of racing games and this game reminds me a lot of Test Drive Unlimited.
The Crew is an extremely ambitious game with a map so large that it takes hours to go through it in its entirety.
Obviously you can not demand the highest quality in such a big game, mainly because there is no loading screens, even if the player goes from one coast to the other driving for a few hours.
After a while playing I realized that The Crew is not a racing game, but a game of exploration. It should be labeled "Racing Adventure Game", It's fun exploring and discovering new things in the big maps, I enjoyed the game.
