For the Interested, here is the Pros/Mids/Cons of the game.
PROS+
+ Racing coop (up to 4 player max per mission or pvp game)
+ Very detailed environment (Working NPC's, a lot of Wilflife and alot of map details)
+ Better graphics than Test Drive Unlimited 2
+ Detailed leaderboards and statistics for everything
+ Good car handling and controls (with a few exceptions since its a NFS styled game)
+ Polices Forces that can chases you almost evrywhere. (give challenge somtimes)
+ Open world where you can drive wherever you want (Even discover some easter eggs in the world)
+ Good transition between game cinématics and gamplay (So you fell like you gived control of it after mission movies.)
+ Posibility to send your friend do faction missions for you. (so you can save time instead of doing a 2h mission for a bit more of easy game money)
+ 50 Cars for first release batch (Witch is not bad for a game that features quite detailed car interiors)
+ Offers car customisation such as pre-fab vynils/stickers, Rims, Spoilers and some chasis mods. ( Alot more visual customisation to offer compared to TDU2)
+ Day and Night Cycle System
MIDS~
~ Servers are down for maintenance sometimes. (yes it can happen, its an online game)
~ Uplay Launcher (at least i can be used / merged whit steam tho)
~ Storymode is a bit short. (but is still entertaining to watch)
~ Missing Mirrors Animations for Cockpit view in some Cars. (they already working on it already for next patch )
~ Weather conditions changes only when you go the mountains where there is snow (they might could use a bit rain but its not that bad)
~ Can have unblanced AI (depending if you and your crew have to high level gap)
CONS-
- No offline mode (you need a internet connection to play this game)
- No possibility to add your own Music (but you can customise your playlist atleast)
- Microtransactions
- Got ported only for xbox 360 only and not for PS3 (it was not even suppose to get out on old gens you lucky bastards)
So as so far for the rest for the game and the gamplay itself, the pleasure of free roaming those cars with friends is pretty Neat, if your one of thos players who dislike this game, just go back to driveclub or what so ever other racing sim game you were playing, otherwise if your looking for car tunning, driving everywhere from road to montains, and like fast paced races for the fun of playing it, this game i what you are looking for !
All together i would say, "The Crew" is a cool game to play for cruising around with Friends or even to play alone i would say, sure the game have some bugs and have a litle lack on MMO since its more concentrated on the NFS genre gamplay but is worth the price when we know they will comme up whit more !
(8 thumbs up)
Continue the good work Ubi we know that you can do it and update this until perfection as other titles did before !!
(Afterall They made Driver San Fransico witch was a great & fun game so why not the crew !)… Expand
