I honestly think the crew is a very underrated franchise. Sure it has is faults but it looks like it’s gonna get better. The visuals are great and car sounds are top notch. There’s gonna be dlc soon so I’m excited to see what’s to come. I think Ubisoft has got something special here. They can build off this.

I don't like the random AI ghost cars that drive through you, breaks immersion imo

And you can only form groups of 4

There is a vanity option called auto signature which allows u to change the sound of ur car

My biggest complaint is the lack of using your own cars. I have bought a few cars and customized them but I never drive them besides when I go from playlist to playlist. There’s really no feeling of getting attached to your car and progressing with it because the game just holds your hand the whole time from playlist to playlist where they loan cars. The structure of the single-player is horrible in my opinion.

Edit: I am aware you can use your cars in the playlists after beating them the first time, but it still feels like a missed opportunity to me.

I LOVE this game, but there are some drawbacks...

The fact that you can't use your own car when doing the playlists for the first time is unfortunate. I do, however, understand that getting the money for the right car for the playlist without having done another playlist is difficult.

Another thing I don't like is that some of the visual body mods are linked together. I.E. headlights, bumpers, and splitters all under the "front bumper" category.

The last thing I'd like to note is that it's not always clear if you can change the color or size of the rims you put on your ride. And when you ARE able to change the color, you can't change it to regular alloy or metallic gray. it's gotta be chrome😐

These negatives are quite small and forgettable though, during gameplay. So don't worry, you'll have a great time playing the game!

My only problem with this game is not being able to sell, hide or even get rid of certain vehicles. And It would be nice to be able to buy more then one of the same cars I don’t understand why we can’t do this in a 2023 game but besides that I’ve been enjoying this game so far.

I loved The Crew 2 and will just continue to play that.

I'm happy for PlayStation owners though. At least they get a Horizon-style game.

Yeah, the way you could seamlessly customization your cars in real time in your own garage was really cool and a nice detail! I never played any of the crew games, but I've liked the customization and your videos of tons of the cars! I like the balance between arcade and realism.

Would you recommend this one over the crew 2? Or is forza or something else more recommended? I might get it once it goes on sale at some point. Overall, great review, my dude! 😎👍🏻🏎🚘

I’m so close to buying this game but I wanna wait until solar crown to decide which one to get

[terrorfirmaking]

I played the beta of motorfest and it felt like Rider's Republic but with motor vehicles instead of bikes, snowboards ect. I found it very enjoyable

They do have engine swaps but they did it in the best way possible imo. They just added the engine swaps to the vanities so all they do is change the exhaust note which is a good way of keeping the cars balanced if you want your car to simply sound different

[mikosuko]

I think not having things like houses or cops has been Ivory-Tower naively standing for the concept of a festival where, in a matter of roleplay, previous TC2 players were participating in. While this could add background/immersion for some, it sure removes a few gameplay mechanics.

[elusive_driver]

My opinion, this game is very good. The car selection is outstanding. I transferred my Crew 2 collection to this game, Which helped a lot. I still have my cop cars from the crew 2 as well. I really enjoy this game! I also got my Lamborghini Technomar 63!

[Arima_Devil]

This game is fun for me but the reason mirror is blur it prob because of limited engine graphics that will lag the game a bit for what i heard

[alecpercy]

They need more online activities 100%. Been playing grand race over and over.
Would like a drag race/drift/tailored race events on there too

[crazyruler]

Yes. You should buy it.
It is a good game. There more 10 playlists and the new cars

[jackmurray]

the most annoying thing about this game to me is the lack of different finishes for wheels, all colors are forced in a super shiny chrome which really limits creativity, most cars just look better with their official rims

[MrBKelly]

I agree that we're going to see map expansions in the future. After all, there are seven other islands in Hawaii. Molokai was mentioned in dialogue.

[Owenlc]

My biggest issue is the constant frame drops when driving around on console

[kyro.]

I think this game is great and is a perfect mixed between nfs and fh5 however I think that the said “cross play” is a scam you can only use cross play in 2 races meaning not in free roam it’s just false advertising!
