In short, it is a fun game, yes, there are some parts that are a little annoying and need to be developed, but despite that, I found myself playing it for hours without stopping, as it is very fun and varied and makes you excited with each new series - the playlist is also suitable for amateurs and racing lovers alike.

The Crew Motorfest delivers an entertaining racing experience, but don't expect anything revolutionary or ground breaking from it. at the end of the day, it's a mediocre racing games that could create some amazing moments for you, if you ignore its issues.

Ubisoft's best attempt at creating their own Forza Horizon. The similarities are obvious but the developers had enough of their own interesting ideas and created one of the best arcade racing games in years.

The Crew Motorfest is an absolute blast, offering endless hours of excitement thanks to its stunning O'ahu-inspired map and an impressive array of events, vehicles, and settings. Sure, there are a few hiccups like the occasional empty open world and wonky difficulty spikes, but if you're a car enthusiast, this game is a celebration you won't want to miss!

Crew Motorfest doesn't end badly, it's a good step forward for the series. A smaller area suits the game, as well as improved controls, physics, visuals. Maybe it's a shame that there is still a need for an online connection, or that Ubisoft is needlessly copying Forza Horizon and taking the already conquered island from Test Drive Unlimited.

Saying that The Crew Motorfest has finally found its identity by mimicking another series might seem absurd, but it's true. It feels like a Forza Horizon chapter in all but name. While not reaching Forza Horizon 5's excellence, it's a great alternative for PlayStation players seeking a similar racing arcade experience.

I can finally say it: Forza Horizon has competition, and serious competition at that. The Crew Motorfest came in strong, offering an amazing map paired with highly satisfying gameplay and excellent visual presentation. Ivory Tower has finally hit the sweet spot for its franchise, and I sincerely hope they continue on this path, as the future of The Crew looks incredibly bright.

The Crew Motorfest marks an arguably inevitable change for the brand. Leaving behind the American moors (which turned out to be not so rich in opportunity), Ivory West revolutionizes the series by taking us to a motor festival on Hawaiian soil. The sources of inspirations to other masterpieces of the genre are definitely evident but the end result, while not shining in originality and despite some structural issues, is a fun and exuberant ride among the natural beauty of the island of Oahu. Has Ubisoft's arcade series found its way?

The Crew Motorfest is an open-world racing game that gets better the more you play it, revealing a wealth of high-quality racing on the beautiful island of O'ahu, Hawaii. While the map is smaller than previous games in The Crew franchise, the smaller scale allows for more detailed imagery. The island is visually stunning, with vibrant landscapes, dynamic weather and remarkable lighting effects. The huge variety of events and beautiful presentation, however, are held back by an unsatisfying driving model and sub-par AI behavior.

The Crew Motorfest is a game that appeals to everyone with the richness of the content it offers and the fact that players can progress according to their own tastes and still not get stuck in some obstacles.

The Crew Motorfest is the epidome of the crew series, with more than 600 vehicles to choose from, a vast open world filled with activities and opportunities to explore and a fresh take on a near perfect story mode with the addition of Playlists, the third entry seems to get things right this time around.

'The Crew Motorfest' is a racing game that plays quite nicely and has accessibility options for new players. The experienced player can also expect a tailor-made challenge. The range of vehicles is extensive and a wide range of different types of races are available.

The Crew Motorfest makes a smart choice by escaping the realism of the simulators in the market and betting on the almost oldschool experience of focusing on the fun with an arcade style that allows any public to dive into the open world and step on the gas. Despite the issues mentioned, it's a solid and honest experience most of the time and may challenge even the most competitive players or allow the casual ones to relax. The variety of races, styles, vehicles and playlists manages to keep the public entertained for dozens of hours in O'ahu without tiring out.

Despite its initial handholding and grindy formula encouraging you to use microtransactions, The Crew: Motorfest is still tons of fun to play when you ignore that and get to the actual body of racing, maximising the potential of a smaller open world for a fun, addictive arcade style racer that highlights the history of motorsport with a variety of engaging playlists that are never dull.

The Crew Motorfest is by far the best in the series taking place in a beautiful, but small location. The racing game is better than average, but it still has some room for improvement. At times it feels like the game tries to do too much providing an overwhelming experience and for a racing game it feels like there is too much dialogue when participating in playlist events.

Bigger, better, prettier, and more fun. That's The Crew Motorfest in a nutshell, and the game is not just the best entry in the series, but also a respectable rival of Forza Horizon.

True to the motto "better a good copy than a bad one", The Crew Motorfest wants to take on the big flagship that has been giving us the best open-world arcade racers for years. Will the throne be shaken? At least a little bit. Because the game world, presentation, visuals, sound and vehicles are quite convincing and make a lot of fun in places. The arcade handling is very solid. Thus, we get a game that I had more fun with than expected. However, the game doesn't manage to outdo the big idol in any point. It does everything that Forza Horizon does quite well, but never as well as the original. Whether handling, scope, track design. FH is somehow always a tire ahead. That's not a bad thing, though, because even those who don't own a PC or Xbox get a good alternative. However, those who can call the aforementioned systems their own will probably have little reason to get away from Forza. Motorfest doesn't offer enough of its own identity and doesn't quite manage to capitalize on its USP (boats & planes).

The Crew Motorfest offers fun, fast-paced variety, all with a stunning aesthetic and excellent presentation. The always on component is disappointing, environment repetition becomes noticeable, and playlists disappearing is a shame, but this is such a brilliant game with so much content you can lose hours without even realising.

Motorfest is a real looker, at least when cruising between races when it’s possible to safely look at the surroundings. While it lacks some of Forza Horizon’s presentational flair, it at least reins in some of that game’s irritating excesses, such as showering you with cars and prizes at the end of every encounter as if you’ve won the lottery. The game’s ‘playlists’ neatly change up the environment, such as a series of Japanese events featuring night-time races bathed in a delicious blue neon glow. Its negatives are also the sins of Forza Horizon: excruciating banter from AI opponents, a vexatious AI sat-nav, and a pervading sense of automotive fetishisation that will test all but the most ardent petrolhead. But right now, these issues are baked into this relatively nascent genre, and The Crew Motorfest is a strong contender for the lead.

En termes de jouabilité, The Crew Motorfest est sans aucun doute l’opus le plus abouti de la franchise. La possibilité de modifier de nombreuses options permet aussi de rendre le jeu très accessible. Sans oublier le fait d’en apprendre un peu plus sur la région d’Hawaï sans devoir visionner des dizaines de cinématiques. L’archipel volcanique a été un excellent choix pour offrir aux joueurs une petite escale exotique. Cependant, le titre souffre encore des comparaisons avec son plus proche concurrent et devient très répétitif malgré son nouveau système de playlist. Le jeu s’adresse principalement à ceux à la recherche d’une expérience d’une difficulté modérée et qui ne veulent pas se prendre la tête.
