![]() In a similar way to how Steep threw snowboarding, skiing and wingsuits together on one mountain, The Crew 2 brings together ground vehicles, boats and even planes in one big open world, with the ability to switch between your favourite of each vehicle type, on the fly. It still retains that feeling of arcade fun, but with a slight sprinkling of Project Gotham Racing’s arcade/realism hybrid handling, allowing you to throw cars around corners at silly, unrealistic speeds.īut it’s not just cars and bikes this time. The handling is a huge improvement at least, as vehicles do actually work off-road, rather than sliding awkwardly and never quite feeling connected to any surface whatsoever. Thankfully, you can skip most scenes, but should you really have to? I get that Ivory Tower wanted to introduce this new brand of extreme racing, but when you’re still seeing these scenes hours into the game, you can’t help but just wish the game would shut the fuck up and let you race. Instead of the dark, gritty story of revenge, we’re “treated” to some real Watch Dogs 2 levels of dudespeak, in scenes that only ever serve as a barrier to the actual racing. It removed the story, sure, but replaced it with a different kind of story that tries so hard to be Forza Horizon, failing in every aspect. It removed the daft story, sorted the handling model and would likely improve the AI. On paper, The Crew 2 should be a better game in every way. The Crew had a silly story that wasn’t necessary, a handling model that was a mess when you went offroad, and some questionable AI but it had redeeming qualities like an open world that spanned the entire United States, littered with events and minor challenges. It’s like an elephant, only without the adorableness. I can’t take that back now, it’s out there on the internet and we all know the internet doesn’t forget anything. ![]() My name is Gary Bailey and I enjoyed The Crew.
