Alright. The Crew 2 . Judging from the current all-time high concurrent peak player counts for the game, I'd say a lot of people are aware of this game currently being priced at one dollar (and less in some regions). And a lot of people have bought the game as a result of this stunning deal. Including myself. Just to get it out of the way, if you have something to say about The Crew 1's removal, go to the game forum. I'm not interested in the topic as part of this review. So... https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3329984820 I am confident I would never have bought this game had it not been a buck, and I'm also confident that a lot of people have the same opinion. But since it was a buck, I did in fact buy it, and I'm glad I did. It's hella fun. The gameplay loop of joining events and races, using the cash you earn to buy new vehicles and such, and upgrading your vehicles with loot rewards from events and races, is pretty simple. But it is also effective. As you progress, you will unlock more events and races, and because they are located across the lower 48 States, you get a wide variety of settings for everything. From cities to mountains to forests to lakes to deserts to meteor craters to rain to snow to beaches and on and on, there is a vast array of different types of courses and tracks to enjoy. And there are a wide variety of types of races and events as well. From standard track races to boat races to plane aerobatics to demolition derbies, and so on. The sheer volume of content is quite impressive. And, the various vehicles, be they cars or trucks or bikes or planes or boats or dune buggies or whatever...they all handle nicely and feel good to drive in. Each of these is upgradeable in many ways, which will increase their performance, handling, speed, and just generally make them function better and better as you progress. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3329984770 There is a campaign of sorts, where you try to become the lead racer in a few different styles, but it's also easy enough to ignore that in favor of simply racing around, upgrading your vehicles, wandering around your crib, and simply free roaming. And free roaming is a lot of fun in and of itself. Mostly, it's a huge sightseeing trip, where you can also try to beat other player's records with jumps, speed, and so on; that you come across while driving around. And setting some records of your own for other people to beat. And there is a decent photography mini game all across the States where you will take pictures of animals, special vehicles and such to gain more cash and follower. And gaining followers is really the sub goal that most impacts your playthrough. The number of followers you have determines how popular your racer is, which in turn unlocks new vehicle options and race/event options. Just about everything you do will earn you new followers (and cash). Also, you can play with other players and even if you're not, you will see them all over the map. At this moment in time (the time of this review being written), no matter where you are, somebody else is nearby. And there are a lot of player created activities as well. Plus, you can co-op with friends if you get bored of solo play. So really, the content just keeps expanding as you explore what the game has to offer. Visually, the game looks great. It has a 60 FPS cap, which isn't anything to brag about, but somehow, the devs have made the most out of that limitation and made a game that has a never-ending supply of screenshot moments. The audio is also well done. The songs themselves are very cool. The dialogue is basically all "hey bro" Extreme Games fodder, but it's fun and definitely appropriate. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3330111663 You will need Ubisoft Connect to play this. I don't care at all about that, but you might. And some people are having an issue with the game crashing if they have other non-Steam clients linked to their Ubi account. I have not had that issue personally and have it linked to both PSN and Epic as well, but if you do, you will need to unlink everything except Steam and that will resolve the crashing issue apparently. No idea how or why that is what it is or why it only affects some players. It's been a bug free experience for me though with a 3070 and an i5. Now, should you also buy the season pass? I personally have no intention of doing so. There's no new content, and I don't care about getting a few extra cars and some swag. But the base game, offering what can easily be hundreds and even thousands of hours of content for one dollar. That is something I can definitely get behind. I can't think of a better deal in gaming at this moment. Now, if you miss or skip this one-dollar promotion they have going on right now, value will be more of...you know..., a your mileage may vary type thing....

[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38888018-United-Critics/] Please follow United Critics for quality reviews The Crew 2 Review Factors Rating Description 🎮Gameplay 8 So many vehicle choices that you will love atleast 1-2. 📷Graphics 7-9.5 Hit or a Miss depending upon the track. 🎧Narration/Audio 9.5 Broad soundtrack playlist with good character narrations. 😮Variety 10 Selling factor. 🎰Re-playability 9 Easy to repeat and pretty much endless. 💲Price 6-9 6 on base price and 9 on sale. My impression of the game kept on changing at each progressing 5 hours interval. This review was framed after investing 30+ hours into the game and concluding the final rivalry races. The initial hours were so repulsive and full of meh impressions. But once you get a hold of a particular vehicle type and its handling, it’s all fun and excitement. 📝Story/Plot: Just a generic plot setup to give your grind some motive and goal. A rookie entering the world of racing and guess what, some organizers see his potential and gave him a chance without even seeing him race beforehand. Just be #1 all around the events and conclude your journey after beating the top dogs who were the organizers too. 🎮Gameplay: Initial impression- Imagine a hot girl with no personality. That’s the first 5-minute impression of The Crew 2. Starting off with high budget cinematics and performing short lap segment races while shifting to a new vehicle again and again. Sounds cool right? Wait until you see the whole f*cking world curve like in the movie Inception and Doctor Strange. At this point, my jaw was indisputably touching the ground. But just after completing a normal event race, it hit me with gloom and awkwardness. All that cinematic brag of “Speed is Life” and bla bla comes down to a slow race with the road looking like a low texture road. Like WTF? Mechanics/Controllability- I know it’s not a real sim racing game, nor advertised as a pure arcade. It’s unique on its own. But I feel like not giving it a category works as a bypass for some faulty mechanics. Cars feel slightly slow and weigh a ton on the controller. The purpose of a racing game is to acknowledge the speed atmosphere, which was only endured with top cars. Cars are not at all hard to control, rather easy and amusing. It’s the damn AI that makes all the races so tryhard. You are in lead for 97% of the race and suddenly an AI got a God’s hand and achieved supersonic speed. If you are thinking of bumping into them and play dirty, well have fun bumping a rubber band. All these aspects are blades of the same sword. AI feels difficult- what a tryhard game/Thank God it’s not cheap easy. Perspective matters here. I am not against it. Surely it’s sometimes annoying, but it iz what it iz. It’s easy to understand how ground vehicles operate, steer, brake, drift, boost. But you are not familiar with aeroplane controls. Despite that, the first intro race makes you race an aeroplane. Instead of crossing checkpoints with my plane, I was crashing into enormous buildings and respawning. A terrible scenario that gets fixed in later event races where they teach you all aeroplane controls bit by bit. Open World- Take on the American motorsports scene as you explore across the entire USA. Being able to drive different vehicles like cars, bikes, boats and planes in the same open-world means not only you are free to drift your car on street roads, tread speedboat through the waterways but fly high across the sky too. Befitting pillars for the open-world statement. Now we know there are no restrictions, but what about interactables? Unfortunately, that’s a guessing game. Oh, I have a sharp turn incoming and I have to drift? Let’s do this then. You are halfway in your drift airmailing all those bus shelters, mailboxes, lampposts in space, but suddenly you see a bench in between. That’s your stoppage. These randomly placed objects like benches or parked cars don’t follow Newton’s Law. They just wanna remain stationary no matter how hard you hit them. Trust me, these little objects ruined a lot of my lap times. Variety- You can use the astonishing top-notch live map, which single-handedly increases the game score by 2. Like how they even made it render the entire game in a 3D model just by a single click. Moving forward, the complete map contains various types of events/races you can take part in. Just for clarification, there are not AI vs races only. You can take part in a race against time, drifting, freestyling and a lot of car chases too. As I said, you are buying a complete package of the racing genre with multiple vehicle types. But there seems to be a hollow part of the story. During cinematics, you can easily see the top-quality work put together and the exciting race descriptions they narrate. But in reality, you won’t find those races in action. One cinematic had an image of a monster truck jumping out of a plane with a parachute, but there’s nothing present like that. They escalated the expectations through cinematic dialogues but disappointed us in the end. It’s not completely devastating as the default variety is already more than enough. PvP/Grinding- Sadly, you can’t run away from the “Look, there’s a level 1 guy with lvl99 car” scenario. It’s Ubisoft, which means expect a lot of transactions. Buy bundles, buy a season pass (Motorpass), or add in-game currency and get any high-speed car you want, but if you don’t wanna spend a penny, good luck grinding your a*s out. Be a part of a crew and evade the boredom of grinding alone. 📷Graphics: Enjoy a pizza full of delicious and uplifting toppings added on a half-cooked bread base. Now all your bites will have a random taste. Some will please your tastebuds, and some will taste like cardboard. The object detailing in the open world is great, but their textures, Oh Lord. Never expected to witness those low texture brick buildings from a 2018 game. Like, come on; all the vehicles, roadside objects, even dirt tracks look so good. Then why the buildings and gravel roads look like a dusty mirror. To avoid these bad graphic races, I played air and water races the most. 📝Main Pros and Cons: Pros- [*]Big Open-world. [*]Character and vehicle customization. [*]Good chunk of playable time. [*]Multiple vehicle types. [*]Varied races and challenges. [*]Offline or Online races. Cons- [*]Grind vs PayToWin is real. [*]Semi cooked graphics. [*]Annoying indestructible objects. [*]No dynamic weather in the open world. 🏷️Tips to new players: Keep in mind, you can drift your plane. Without this, you are going to kiss the land whenever you take a flight. Don’t start PvP races until you reach at least the Famous rank. There are no restrictions on which racetrack to follow. So cut the track however you want. The first one to cross the checkpoint is the winner. Change resolution to borderless. Otherwise, whenever you will Alt+Tab, the game will start re-syncing, which wastes 4-10 seconds of your life every time. 😇Honest Rating: If you are looking for that NFS arcade or real sim racing like Assetto Corsa and Project Cars, then just buy them instead. It’s nowhere perfect or overly marvellous. But I can assure you, if you invest enough hours into the game, you will adore it even as toxic relation. Only buy on big sale! Rating: 8/10 Best world bending I ever saw.

Eh, for a $1 USD you can't complain. The game isn't bad, with the little time I played today I drove all the way from California to New York and it was a fun drive. At least Ubisoft has stated that they are going to give this game an offline mode which is fantastic considering they up and left The Crew 1 and shutdown all servers. You can't play it anymore, and they need some good reputation at the moment. Ubisoft/Ivory Tower haven't stated anything that the game is going offline, but it seems like it might sometime soon with future-proofing the game and giving it a 98% discount on all platforms.

I have a feeling that this game was designed by people who had never actually driven or sat in a car, and everything they knew about driving was through bing searches and 80's action movies. Still worth the price tho, beautiful graphics and racists

Forza Horizon fan. Having fun in Crew 2 with all the different vehicle and event types. C2 runs smooth, no bugs, and each event type is well designed and implemented. Only frustration, I did not reach Platinum division in the Summit my first week. Being rich in Forza means you can buy and tune a competitive vehicle. In Crew 2, you buy the base vehicle, but you have to grind for upgrade parts. FH has classes (B, A, S1, S2). C2 does not. All vehicles of same type in C2 have same max tune value. FH no Nitro, C2, Nitro is primary factor. C2, no Auction House nor any way to sell vehicles. C2, leaderboards are more integral, and are a focus of endgame/seasons (Summit). I have over 700 vehicles in FH5. In C2 earning vehicles is a MUCH slower process, and so far, I don't see much incentive to collect cars, beyond appearance and Summit requirements. Do different Street Race cars handle differently at max stats?? excluding part affixes and awd.
