The Crew 2 Review

The Crew 2 is an open world racing video game developed by Ivory Tower and published by Ubisoft for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 Xbox One and Stadia. It is the sequel to 2014's The Crew. It features a persistent open world environment for free-roaming across a scaled-down recreation of the United States. The game allows players to control a variety of vehicles including cars, motorcycles, boats, and airplanes. The game was released on June 29, 2018.

This is an arcade racing game not a racing simulation. Like the previous Crew game you can roam around the map for hours and hours. The music is good and keeps you entertained.

Not just cars this time. There are boats, planes, hovercrafts, motocross and open wheelers to navigate.

You can change between vehicles on the fly as well. So you can be driving your super-car and switch to the airplane. The graphics have been updated, which look especially stunning at 4K.

You can’t go just anywhere on the map. You have to find bases to fast travel to nearby the location you want to go. There is a home space which has three levels, to keep your cars etc. This is an online game meaning you have to be logged into the server in order to play. So you need an internet connection.

There is nothing wrong with the controls. The cars handle correctly as well as planes and hovercrafts.

There are different categories of races to choose from and normally a main event at the end. There are lots of street races as well.

I would not recommend buying many cars in the game, you will run out of money. Just upgrade the ones you decide to keep. There are real weather effects during the game. I think, including snow.

8/10
