The Crew 2 Reviews
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
A totally mediocre racing experience. The Crew 2 has a lot of ideas, but anyone of them is well executed.

It may sound repetitive to say but The Crew 2 is another incompelete experience deleivered by Ubisoft. The new installment is improved in many aspects but the lack of the pvp multiplayer till December, poor physics and a cheesy plot still hunts the dreams of becoming a successful franchise.

The Crew 2 has a lot of potential, but its great graphics and sound design doesn’t make up for its lack of content, lack of online multiplayer and weak AI. Maybe it’ll get better via monthly updates as the previous version did, but at the moment, The Crew 2 is not much superior to its predecessor.

The only motivation to play the game is to get more loot and improve the existing cars. While it's not all that glamorous, it's undoubtedly a much worthier pursuit than getting followers. Despite all the cool features that are touted, it the end is just a soulless racing game that doesn't excel at anything but also doesn't really fail in any significant way.
The Crew 2 feels like a missed opportunity for Ubisoft after what was a decent start for the franchise in 2014. It's a racing game with some interesting ideas, but the new main additions frankly aren't entertaining enough and there's too much of a focus on quantity over quality.
The Crew 2‘s digital recreation of American remains as inviting as it was in the first game, and the diverse event types and new air and water vehicles mix things up in a good way. Eventually, however, the aggressively grindy loop of replaying races to upgrade your vehicles will leave you feeling like a theme park custodian: You're surrounded by attractions that should be such fun, yet you're stuck doing mindless chores instead.
In a way The Crew 2 is a better game from the old, but in another way, it is also very much the same flawed racer. There is a lot of good here: open world, four racing types, huge customization, and tons of races. However, as a racing game, you'd do better with Mario Kart.
The Crew 2 is an impressively large game with a lot to do. Cars, planes and boats, travelling the USA is fun. The problem is that almost everything else ends up feeling the same and, eventually, boring.
Maybe sometime next year The Crew 2 will start to feel like the sequel we all deserve, but as it stands right now, it certainly doesn't.
The PS4 is kind of renowned for its dearth of decent racing titles, particularly after the disappointment of both Driveclub and Gran Turismo: Sport failing to live up to expectations. It's unlikely that The Crew 2 is going to change this perception in any meaningful way but it can't be denied that it is a fun little diversion for racing fans.
Ubisoft had a chance to deliver an incredible open world racing title and it does somewhat fall short of it had the potential to be.
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.

It's hard to ignore the unsavoury taste that comes along with The Crew 2's social media-based progression system. That being said, most people will accept that it's just a somewhat topical stand-in for an experience point system – and skip through all of the awful vlogger posturing and horrid presentation – to find at its heart a knockabout arcade racer with the capacity to make you smile.
The Crew 2 expands its borders with the addition of air and aquatic racing thrown in the mix with iconic US cities and enjoyable online play with friends and many ways to race throughout a sprawling map.
The Crew 2 is certainly interesting from a technical stand point with how instant such an expansive open world runs, it just feels empty not having any sort of narrative structure.
It may be flawed, but there's a ton of content and the base game is still fun to play , so I'm still recommending this to fans of the genre.
The Crew 2 is a respectable game and a fun experience for a short amount of time. The game world is filled with gorgeous vistas and fantastic visual fidelity. I think with DLCs and future entries, we might see the evolution of this series

It is slightly disappointing to see how Ubisoft decided to just focus on making a bigger open world game while forgetting the essentials of what makes them so great. The Crew 2 has a lot of potential in the future with free updates and content that might be added to it, but in its current launch state, it is, unfortunately, a shallow experience that doesn't have much to offer for those who are looking for a competent racing game.
The Crew 2 is a good racing game with a vast open world and that, at times, is a truly wonderful experience. However, the game would have to maintain this level of quality in a constant manner to belong with the best of its genre. Today, The Crew 2 is a great foundation to something that could be marvelous in the future.
