Review

The Crew 2 is a compelling entry in Ubisoft's open-world racing series, encapsulating the American motorsports spirit with an impressive variety of landscapes and racing disciplines. Motornation offers players an expansive playground to explore, from the bustling streets of New York City to the winding rivers of the Mississippi. The game stands out for its seamless transition between ground, sea, and sky, adding unique challenges and thrills as you switch from street racing in a sleek sports car to piloting a speedboat or an aerobatic plane. However, while the world design and diversity of events are praiseworthy, the game's inconsistent vehicle handling and repetitive missions can detract from the overall experience. Moreover, the storyline feels somewhat superficial and may not satisfy players looking for a deeper narrative. Despite these shortcomings, The Crew 2 excels in delivering high-octane fun and stands as a worthy playground for motorsport enthusiasts.

Background information

Many reviewers have praised The Crew 2 for its expansive and visually stunning open world, as well as the innovative inclusion of multiple racing disciplines. However, consistent criticisms include its occasionally clunky vehicle physics and mission repetitiveness. The game's shift from a narrative-driven experience to a more open-ended exploration has also been noted, appealing more to players who prefer gameplay freedom over a structured storyline.
