And the strange thing is, you'll probably want to try it at some point, just to find another excuse to criss-cross the continent absorbing the scenery and the Americana. There's no doubt that a huge part of The Crew's appeal is nostalgia for US road trips, whether previously experienced or just...

The Crew is a decent racing game that's weighed down by its constantly online mechanics. The missions and challenges are nice, but if you don't have friends, you'll be hard pressed to find them in the game.

Huge world; Plenty of challenges; Lots of content to chew through

Online errors; Lackluster story; Unimpressive visuals; Repetitive soundtrack; Unpopulated world

The product came quickly and it is in new condition

Okay, I bought this game when it came out and played little of the beta. Overall, the map is huge and super fun to explore, but there are a few drawbacks that make the lasting appeal of the game short. For example, the story of the game is very simplistic and predictable...

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.

Remarkably immense; So much racing content

Brazen; catch-up AI; Often underwhelming looks; Stingy economy

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
