The Crew 2 is an ambitious undertaking that puts over-the-top arcade racing front and center. Though it makes large strides in the right direction over its predecessor, it suffers from odd game design choices, a lack of PvP, and a lackluster presentation that puts it squarely in the rearview mirror of its competition.

The Crew 2 attempts to fix the issues that prevented Ivory Tower’s first effort from blowing away the competition, such as an expansive but barren world

Jul 15, 2018

In a way The Crew 2 is a better game from the old, but in another way, it is also very much the same flawed racer. There is a lot of good here: open world, four racing types, huge customization, and tons of races. However, as a racing game, you'd do better with Mario Kart.

Despite its satisfying core loops and drip-feeding of loot slathered in mechanical jargon, it's hard to recommend The Crew 2 based on what many would consider to be its selling points. The world is barren despite being billed as a greatest hits of American landmarks and 'car feel' itself is frustratingly basic and holds your hand far too much. The interconnectivity did its best to compel me to stick with it but The Crew 2 is a sad case of wasted potential.

The open-world racing game returns in The Crew 2, letting players experience the thrill of the American motorsports spirit inside a fully redesigned USA.

The Crew 2 changes things up with a new look and new vehicles but fails to take the series to new heights.

We want to emphasize that 5 will always be the “average” number, not 7. So by far, it’s 50% great and it’s also 50% bad.

It’s not bad, but it lacks imagination outside of the singular gimmick that you can change vehicles at any time, and ends up just being rather average.

A great driving game, a poor racing game. Has some technical issues involving controller support and their idea of multiplayer is somewhat unusual for this genre. A game I would happily spend more time with, but can’t recommend highly in its current state.

Sure, I can fly a plane as high as I can then drop from the sky as a car and continue my path to nothingness but the fun of that can only last so long. I wanted The Crew 2 to be the new pillar for arcade-style racers. Instead, we are presented with a missed opportunity.

The Crew 2 is a racing game by Ubisoft that was released back in June 29th, 2018. Available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, it features beautiful graphics and a ton of vehicle additions into the game compared to its predecessor, The Crew. However, The Crew 2 still retains the aesthetics of 2014’s The Crew as an open world, role-playing multiplayer racing game with multiple ways to race.

Jul 17, 2018

The Crew 2 has tried to separate itself from the other open-world racing games that are currently on the market by expanding what the player can race in-game. Instead of only being able to race cars they decided to include speedboats and aerobatic/racing planes. This was a bold move on the part of Ivory Tower, but the fact remains that they didn’t stick the landing. What they created was an ambitious game with too much repetitive racing events that grow tiresome after only a few hours of ga...
