El resultado final ha concluido con una nueva franquicia bastante solida en el aspecto técnico, cosa que no se ve tanto estos días, pero con unos gráficos más propios de la anterior generación.

El gran trabajo en el mapa de Estados Unidos; Los eventos dinámicos; Un catálogo de coches interesante; Muy entretenido e incluso adictivo

Requiere conexión a internet para jugar; La historia; Siempre has de quedar primero para avanzar; Las físicas en las colisiones

Take away its vast environment and The Crew is decidedly mediocre. But the enjoyable story and great sense of actually driving, whether alone or solo, means there's plenty of fun to be had all the same.

Absolutely massive game world; rich with variety and things to do; Always the option to play solo or in co-op; Lovely sensation of being on the open road; especially at night

No offline play, which means you'll get booted for dropouts, America's city streets are practically empty; Where are the pedestrians, GTA 5 does pretty much everything better, plus much, much more

The Digital Fix just passed its driving test and is now off to America for a digital road trip across the country in the form of The Crew, a new driving game from developers Ivory Tower.

Get your crew together, and conquer the USA.

Mind-bogglingly huge country to race in; Lots to unlock and level up; Races range from a few minutes to a few hours

Internet connection required; even when playing Solo; AI is too precise on getaway and takedown events; Basic storyline that no one asked for

It's hard not to be impressed by the sheer scale. The Crew might have miniaturised the USA, shrinking states and cities so that they're boiled down to an essence, making Chicago to New York a fifteen-minute drive, but this is still the most expansive open world of any racing game.

Vast open-world to explore; Packed with events and challenges; Enjoyable off-road missions; Fun with other players

Missions can be exasperating; Handling lacks grip; Struggles to bring players together

The Crew presents an ambitious vision of an online racing ‘CaRPG’, but is severely let down by its other design decisions, writes James Cullinane.

A beautiful world; Endgame isn't without its joys

Grinding; Microtransactions; Traffic AI is appalling

Imagine an open world racing game with a huge map of the mainland USA that allows you to tune and customise every major aspect of your car. On paper, this idea sounds brilliant. Add to that [...]

Huge Map; Racing and Skills Variety; Car Customisation; OST

Car Handling; Environmental Rigidity; Opponent; Cop and Traffic AI; Collectible Cutscenes; Always Online

The Crew has some issues but overall it is a pretty fun car RPG where you will get what you put in to it.

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...

Last night I played one of the most tense games of my life. We're talking real edge of the seat stuff here. My heart was racing, game pad was sweaty and I needed a lie down afterwards. "Good God man, what were you doing?" I hear you ask. Well, I was driving from New York to Miami. "Ah, I see.
