Ive purchased this game in 2014 after complaining to my father that my core2quad and GTX570 wasnt powerful enough to play any of the titles that I wanted to play (at the time it was Far Cry 4, which I actually could play but my parents refused to let me). My dad allowed me to purchase any game I wanted as long as it was under 40$... and so my quick search to find something I would enjoy got me to this: The Crew.

What hasnt been said about this game? Its a very basic racing game which tries to convey its marketing "drive anywhere in USA" loads of times EVEN while playing the game and I remember that pissing me off the day I realized I wasnt actually playing in a map 1:1 with real life US (Yes I went to my town and saw that it didnt even exist!)... As a 13 year old, that pissed me the **** off. I also thoroughly hated the fact that this game played HORRIBLY on keyboard and I would have probably been able to finish the game if I had a controller at the time.... too bad. I also remember not being able to choose the cars I actually enjoyed, this game seems to have a serious lack of car choices and really only has modern american sports cars (which in my opinion totally breaks the point of a car MMO, typically games that are meant to be played with other players is customization first and everything else later)... and even at that it was poor.

What else? Some missions I remember being absolutely broken, graphics were quite blurry at times due to the poor rendering system they used (Watch Dogs had the same problem idk if thats related) and the game became utterly pointless once its puny pitiful community left.

Now the game has a sequel. You know what I think of that title? Its horribly bad. What happened to the makers of Test Drive Unlimited? the amount of detail of that game was ridiculous, and this game barely gave me an accurate model of a 2005 Ford GT. As a guy who enjoys cars, Im thoroughly confused why "arcade" car games can mess up on so many aspects of a CAR game.

Overall, it was fun for the first 5h of having a new game.... it got boring REAL fast. If you want a good street racing title, you're not gonna find it here. I suggest Test Drive Unlimited (1 or 2), Need For Speed Carbon (boss fights are better than in underground), Forza Horizon 2/3/4, Grid Autosport (good for 1v1 touge)... and Im probably forgetting some. FORGET THE CREW. PLAY SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!!
