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

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

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...

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...

Never drive alone. Sometimes.

Massive world with loads to do; Lots of car customisation options

Terrible story; Too many microtransactions

The Crew is a video game with one foot in the past, and one foot in the future. Some of the technological achievements in this next gen video game are very impressive. Like mapping of certain cities. Getting to go to certain areas in the United States.

'The Crew' is an ambitious racer set in an open world model of the United States. The world is not to scale, of course - the distance from Detroit to St. Louis is about fifteen miles, for instance. It is an online, persistent world that's not quite an MMO.

Ubisoft has received some criticism this year for some of its most hyped games that included Watch Dogs , Assassin's Creed Rogue and Assassin's Creed Unity.
