The Crew 2 Reviews
An impressively huge, occasionally beautiful map doesn't make up for mediocre driving and a lack of multiplayer options.
The Crew 2 is big, confident, and stuffed with arcade racing action but it's an uneven and unfinished package.
Despite the flashy boats and planes, this sequel to the ambitious open-world racing game is underdeveloped where it counts.
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.
Other than brief moments, no part of The Crew 2 is captivating enough, including the rubberband-based gameplay, the events themselves, and the overall setup of the open world
As far as its single-player experience goes, Ubisoft's open-world driving game is fun, varied, and accessible.
The Crew 2 is an uncanny mess and I'm enjoying it anyway
Unfortunately, The Crew 2 is just too inconsistent to fully recommend.
Skip The Crew 2 until a patch or five. Even then, maybe check to see if the handling has improved at all.
The Crew 2 comes off as appealing when looking at a spec sheet of what it has to offer.
Right now, this is an awful lot of not very much.
While it certainly improves upon the original in many ways, The Crew 2 is a step backwards overall. Its rubberband AI is some of the worst in recent memory and its version of America feels empty, not at all like Forza Horizon, the game it really wants to be.
It's not bad, but it lacks imagination outside of the singular gimmick that you can change vehicles at any time, and ends up just being rather average.
A better game than The Crew but still a few steps behind the Horizon Series, despite its variety on vehicles.

Sure, I can fly a plane as high as I can then drop from the sky as a car and continue my path to nothingness but the fun of that can only last so long. I wanted The Crew 2 to be the new pillar for arcade-style racers. Instead, we are presented with a missed opportunity.
The Crew 2 suffers from limited activities and challenges, with the exception of major quests, the difficulty of controlling air races, the lack of game play for the multiplayer mode at least for the time being, AI which is the first major problem in this game, not to mention the absence of the story mode. The game offers a larger and more detailed world and the ability to move between different vehicles easily and a more accurate development system compared to the first part, Ubisoft still has the opportunity to fix the mistakes of the game in the future and bring it back on track.

While I found the larger experience to be underwhelming, the game does offer some high points. Moving around the game map and fast traveling is instantaneous and seamless. While I didn't find the game's menus to be as functional as I'd like, they all look really sharp and fit within the game's aesthetic. While music tastes are subjective, I found the included soundtrack to be very well done (as it was in the first Crew game) and it made some of the less exciting races more tolerable. Swapping between vehicles works very well and is probably the coolest part of the game.
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. They just spread themselves too thin trying to cram it all in.
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.
