Ivory Tower has made a game that is legitimately bad in so many ways, yet made me, somewhat compulsively, want to keep playing.

Overall, we’ve enjoyed the time we’ve spent playing The Crew. Its huge game world and rewarding RPG aspects have kept us entertained to the completion of the story and I’m sure we’ll sink more time into its faction and PVP events. Whilst it’s not perfect, it puts more steps right than wrong and is a solid basis for any future entries in the series. For anyone that enjoyed Ubisoft’s Driver: San Francisco or is looking to fill the space that Need for Speed‘s 2014 no-show has created, this is highly recommended.

The Crew offers you the entire countryside to explore solo or with friends (or strangers), plenty of cars, customization options, and a narrative that extends a purpose beyond “being the best” to get your motor running. Ubisoft’s familiar structural pitfalls like microtransactions, online-only play, and other trappings hinder rather than enhance, but those things have become par for the course by now. Thankfully, they don’t mar the overall experience, and that was an overtly positive one for me. I don’t need a crew to cruise downtown Chicago or the west coast. I was just fine going it alone. And if...

I really want to love The Crew. The in game world is absolutely huge and it’s filled with a great deal of content – it looks brilliant at times too. Although the handling takes some time getting used to it does feel natural as the game begins to open up. Despite that, the driver AI can be infuriating at times, as with the traffic placement which I refuse to believe is a coincidence. The online doesn’t feel well integrated either and the story is uninspiring. If you know that you have friends playing The Crew it could turn out to...

After six years of hard work, the team behind Test Drive Unlimited has crafted a similar product for Ubisoft. A few dozen of cars, the vast United States and the titular ‘crew’ on the road. How did it all turn out?

The Crew does a lot of things right. Not only does it give you a huge game world to explore, but the ability to change up the whole experience by tuning your car differently is an excellent addition to Ivory Tower’s ambitious racer, allowing you to take one car and do so much more than just a mere race. Apart from the microtransactions you cannot go wrong here by jumping behind the dashboard of your favourite car and taking off into the sunset across the desert. Giving you the ability to drive from coast to coast across the USA with...

If you'd have asked me after hour five what The Crew was, I would have said a solid 50% score. Hour ten? 60%. Thankfully though, the home straight is what saves The Crew from being just another average racer and with its incredibly game world, it’s worth dipping your toe in. Just don’t expect it to get decent for a long time, but when it does, it’s almost worth the wait.

The Crew attempts to take the United States by storm, but ends feeling more like a drag than an actual race.

The Crew is a game of missed opportunities. It isn’t a bad game by any means and the fact of the matter is that it's quite close to being a superb one. However, the more cynical practices of falsifying game length by filling the world with tedium, charging ludicrous amounts for add-ons, and drip-feeding upgrades to the point that the upgrades feel worthless, seem to have taken precedence over polishing up the actual gameplay itself. Online play is great fun and there’s no doubt that some will be absolutely hooked, but most (if not all) missions are ruined by some...

Ubisoft’s The Crew was always going to either be A.) a resounding dud or B.) a pleasantly fun racing experience. And depending upon who you ask, I’m pretty sure that’s the range of answers you’ll get. The Crew’s worth picking up if you’re fan of arcade racers and love open and online worlds. Read on for our full review.

The Crew has been quite the ambitious undertaking by a completely new development studio as Ivory Tower has offered some interesting ways to play a racing game. The open-world aspect is one I found myself enjoying more often than not as having an entire nation to drive across was thrilling and quite memorable. On the other hand, unfair AI, an online multiplayer that is far from fair, and a spec system that kept me from wanting to experiment out of my comfort zone were just some of a few things that I felt are holding back The Crew from being...

The Crew - final review. IGN published the review of this new racing game. Is it worth buying?

The Crew is a copycat, made from a mold and released without an identity.
Read Full Review
The Crew deserves credit for the frankly staggering size of its open world, and the fact that it’s absolutely filled to the brim with racing, challenges, a fat multiplayer offering, and exploration potential. This scope, however, has resulted in some noticeable visual concessions, the racing itself is too often hamstrung by AI prone to unfair bursts of speed that do nothing but frustrate, and I was surprised at how unwilling the community currently seems to join co-op missions and just how difficult the game’s often miserly winnings makes collecting the cars.
