The Crew 2 Critic Reviews

The Crew 2 is a beautiful follow-up to the first. It packs a lot of punch inside of it and it’s friendly to all types of gamers. The world is still big, the events are great in number, and it just feels like a fun/simple racing game that you want to play on and off for a long time.

It is truly a gearhead’s playground, with plenty of customization and tweaking options, combined with arcade gameplay to give a more relaxed feeling.

Despite its shortcomings, The Crew 2 still displays admirable strengths, which lie in its player-friendly features, freedom of movement, and its willingness to bend the rules in order to make things exciting and varied for an accessible, American-themed thrillride.

The Crew 2 successfully expands the concept of its first installment. Although it does not repeat the mistakes of the first one, it makes others. While the game is varied, fun and gorgeous, some disciplines are not up to the task, the progression and economy systems are not adequate and the exaggerated collisions sometimes play against you.

The new The Crew’s chapter is even madder than before. With the introduction of boats and airplanes, and the possibility of switching between them in a snap, the roaming has been brought to a new level.

The Crew 2 improves its initial idea with the presence of new vehicles and modes that make us enjoy land, sea and air. It is not perfect, but it will entertain those who want to enjoy speed without regard. And for those who want to tour the United States economically and simply.

The Crew 2 outperforms its predecessor in almost all aspects. New disciplines, vehicles and better graphics join a cooperative multiplayer really fun that we have attached to the title for weeks.

An avalanche of racing goodness, hokey social media anchoring and an oddly sparse open world aren't enough to prevent The Crew 2 from improving on the original in every way and providing a multi-disciplined racer that is quite unlike any other on PS4.

The Crew 2 is a big game, confidence, and it takes the adrenaline within every moment. Completely enjoyable, the fact that you can go through every kind of road, or fly or go across the sea is brilliant, also the enormous amount of vehicles available, the originality on presenting your career, it makes it interesting and thrilling. A worthy, funny and enjoyable racing game.

The progress system is getting dull, the rubber band AI keeps the races overly artificially exciting - and these are just two examples of a long list of small to medium-sized quirks. But even if the game is not as perfect as the big role model Forza Horizon, I have the same amount of fun in The Crew 2 as in the open-world racer from Microsoft.

There is a lot of variety and plenty of racing types and the open world is gorgeous, but weak character models and no competitive mode at launch hurt this game.

The Crew 2 invents nothing, and excels at nothing. But it’s a huge mix of many fun and cool things to do, served by an amazingly big open-world turned into a sandbox for grown-up kids.

No matter the element, The Crew 2 is a fantastic vehicle in which to master the ins and outs of speed. It’s just a pity that Ubisoft’s new world of varied racing disciplines feels hollow and uneven as it won’t hold your attention for very long in its current incarnation.

The Crew 2 is a big, big racing game. The enormous playground based on the U.S. has a lot to offer and is fun to play in with friends, but unfortunately there is too much wrong with some essential elements to make it a definite must-have.

I think the developers made the right call by branching out with planes and boats and going for a more approachable play-what-you-like format.

A successful sequel where it counts the most, only a few potholes slow The Crew 2 down in its drive to become the ultimate road trip.

The Crew 2 still falls short of expectations in spite of the improvements made over the first iteration of the game. The open-world feels empty, the multiplayer features are useless as there is no PvP and the rest of the game feels way too generic to stand out from its competition. Forza Horizon is still a safer bet.

There’s an overabundant amount of things to do and it will keep your time consumed. What it lacks, however, is that hook to want to play it. The driving and physics are bland and the narrative is dreadful.

The Crew 2 is a racing online game without the online part. This leaves us with some good views, some nice rides, but without something strong enough to keep going.

The Crew 2 has its moments (and they are moments that no other racing game can boast), but it ultimately remains, at the current state of events, a discreet pastime for fans of the genre who do not seek realism at any cost.
