The Crew™ 2

Open-world yet the streets feels way too empty most of the time for a game set in America.
Half-baked features and being unable to change your avatar. If you picked the wrong gender+nationality well though luck.
The fact that a hentai game like Koikatsu has better avatar creation over a big game like this is frustrating.

I really want to love this game, but there are so many flaws here and the developers just forgot about it. First of all, I want to point out that the 60 FPS limit is complete crap. The game world is empty, and the weak graphics complement this even more. Only grind. Next, about the Live Summit events. After almost 7 years (!), it's still hard to get into the top 4,000 players to get platinum, even when the online on Steam reaches a peak of 1,000 people. It's really not worth the time. I want to highlight the cool opportunity to transfer cars and cosmetics to The Crew Motorfest. Maybe someday the developers will add the promised offline mode and not repeat the fate of the first part of the game.

its very nice i like the fact that it is almost free roam and stuff if you want there are cool vehicals and the races are very nice and the fact that you have ur own followers account is more sick sooooo i guess its very nice 9/10 it just needs more fast cars i guess there not that fasts for me lol plus there was an offer for this game being 2 dhs and 1 doller is 3 dhs soooo im rich yay lol theres is to many errors in this but im to lazyyyyy

This game is still good tho but for livery community I prefer FH because it can be search by the name of livery instead scrolling it like this game

The Crew™ 2 is a massive, ambitious racing game that lets you explore a scaled-down version of the United States in a variety of vehicles, from cars and motorcycles to boats and planes. The sheer scope of the game is impressive, offering a seamless open world filled with diverse landscapes, iconic landmarks, and endless opportunities for exploration.

The gameplay is fun and accessible, with a focus on variety and freedom. You can switch between land, sea, and air vehicles at any time, and the game encourages you to try different disciplines, from street racing and off-roading to aerobatics and powerboat racing. The controls are solid across all vehicle types, though some may feel more polished than others.

The story is light and serves more as a backdrop for the action, but the real draw is the game’s sense of freedom and progression. Building your reputation and unlocking new vehicles and events is satisfying, and the online multiplayer adds an extra layer of excitement.

Visually, the game is stunning, with detailed environments and dynamic weather effects that bring the world to life. The soundtrack is a mix of genres that fits the game’s energetic tone, and the sound design is top-notch.

Rating: 8/10 - A thrilling and diverse racing experience that’s perfect for fans of open-world exploration.

Feels like fast and furious fever dream where physics took the day off, Great concept but questionable goobisoft execution much like my driving

Completley garbage. If you are on a laptop that doesnt have a "right control" button you literally cannot beat the tutorial. And yes, you I tried changing the keybind, and it doesnt seem to work. Only way to play it is if I buy a new keyboard or a controller.

Doesnt work with PlayStation controller and when it is working , the controls are so scuffed

hat when u need internet to run a racing game but it is good game bad fps use lossles scaling

really nice game for a racing category lover.. huge map, many options to drive and fly and boats and whatever.. really nice job!

I really wanted to try and like this game, but at the end of the day I just couldn't. The handling feels off to me, particularly when going around corners, the game constantly crashes if you set it above 60FPS, and even if you do, the game crashes less often but still probably once every 30mins or so for me. Forza, NFS and Burnout have better similar titles, the future of this game is effectively in limbo even after Ubisofts "update" (probably dead in the next 10 years easily) and every time I open the game it tries to cram motorfest down my throat. That's all without even touching the nothing-burger dialogue and lackluster soundtrack

I got it for near nothing, basically free, and I still just can't justify it. Find something else... for your own sake

fun to play with friends. the satisfaction you get by utterly destroying them in all forms of races just feels so good.

8/10

If you love open-world racing games, The Crew 2 is a solid pick. You can drive, fly, and boat across a scaled-down USA. The freedom is unmatched. Cars, planes, boats, bikes—you name it. Swapping between them on the fly is seamless and fun. The game looks great, and the world is diverse. Cities, deserts, mountains—there’s a lot to explore. The AI can be frustrating at times, and traffic physics are a bit wonky. It’s not a hardcore sim, but the handling is enjoyable once you get used to it. After a while, some races feel recycled. Progression can be slow if you’re not into grinding.

If you want a fun, open-world arcade racer with tons of vehicles and exploration, The Crew 2 is worth it. Just be ready for some grind and occasional AI quirks.

PORTUGUÊS:
Simplesmente o pior jogo de carro que eu já joguei em toda a minha vida, imbatível, só joguei porque estava em um resenha com amigo meu e estávamos tentando ver o quão porcaria poderia ser esse jogo. Infelizmente, esqueci de pedir reembolso e olha que eu só gastei 3 reais, nem se fosse de graça valeria a pena. A jogabilidade/controles são péssimos, os gráficos são medíocres, o mundo é "morto" (no sentido de que o ambiente é sem vida) e com muitos bugs. Não se levem pelo trailer, este jogo não te proporcionará boas lembranças.

ENGLISH:
Simply the worst car game I've ever played in my entire life, unbeatable, I only played it because I was doing a review with a friend of mine and we were trying to see how much crap this game could be. Unfortunately, I forgot to ask for a refund and look, I only spent 3 reais, not even if it was free would it be worth it. The gameplay/controls are terrible, the graphics are mediocre, the world is "dead" (in the sense that the environment is lifeless) and has a lot of bugs. Don't be fooled by the trailer, this game will not give you good memories. [Translated with Google Translate]

i got this game for $1, and it was easily worth that. i'd say it's still worth the normal sale price of $10.

there is a ton of content and the vehicles from season passes are available to purchase using in-game currency, which is absolutely refreshing.

everything in the game works, but is pretty average. driving, story, music, events, graphics... they are all pretty mid. there isn't anything that makes you go "woah that was cool."

the game is always online, but you can pause single player races, so it's not bad.

there are better racers you could be playing, but this game is still fun, so i give it a recommend.

driving feels like shit, graphics looks like shit, game is shit

This game is a very fun open world driving game, you can race and just drive normaly. I personally like the open world driving, because I think its really cool that you can just drive across america or to certain places in real life. It gives a very fun feeling

Takes about 20+ races/activities to get a vehicle (there are 600+ of them).
Have fun grinding with garbage soundtrack and the cringiest voicelines you will ever hear (nonstop).

This game is realistic and fun, but if I am being honest this is only fun with friends, lowkey just buy forza.

Absolutely soulless and uninspired. Nothing really stands out about this game, there's no character. It's extremely, boringly bland and unoriginal and made me drop it almost immediately. I wouldn't even play it for the 1 dollar I spent, go play Forza Horizon or something, this is not it.

full of content but really lacks personality. its basically the complete opposite of an indie title, just throw a bunch of money to make the same fine experience over and over again for 200 races. a whole lot of stuff but it doesnt try in the slightest to actually make you care about anything. the plane sections and boat sections were so infuriatingly boring i forgot they existed until the popped up in the trailer while i was writing this review lol.

I was hoping it would have a story section, but overall it's good. The customization isn't bad either. When will the offline mode come out?

i download it twice first time i got shitty error crash when press continue and when i try format pc and download it again same issue fix yr game its trash i have never tried it cuz of this issue

graphics is amazeing and a lot of car options and boats and bikes and planes i recommend it

Game doesn't automatically recognize logitech g923 wheel. It also doesn't help how when trying to set things up the game crashes when alt tabbing. Shit game shit devs.

Bought this on Sale for as low as 50 INR (0.6$). Goddamn couldn't play this more than an hour. I even had asked my friend to buy it. Well, it didn't go well. I am only keeping this as part of Games collection on my account. Otherwise, i would definitely have got it refunded! I don't feel my money was worth it even at the price i bought it....

Bro like wtf, how do people like this game? are y'all stupid? aircraft handling is horrible, my boat does not update the fucking power level all the time. every like 20 min the game crashes to menu. tons of other bugs and the gameplay sucks major dick. undisputable bad game.

It doesn't matter how much content you got, it is useless without a good handling. 42 hours of racing trying to be the king of motorsports felt like a mobile game because of that god awful handling. Also The Crew 1 had a story. Was it good? Not that much but it tried to be something. Now we lost The Crew 1 forever because of ubisoft, deleting the game and leaving it to obscurity. The Crew 1 was better than this soulless festival racer slop. The whole map of America is worth nothing because of bad servers. I was disconnected halfway through a 40 minutes race and I had to do it all over again. Don't get me start on optimisation, it was abysmal. The game requires too much for its graphics. Also what even is that ghosting (?) on gauge, you couldn't even do FXAA right?

Tried playing it, but the gameplay feels so off. It's nothing like any big title, the colors and the HUD is just so weird. Forza Horizon 5 is better than this game IMO. Love the idea of being able to transfer from car to boat to plane tho

This game is solid 7/10 not a good game for wheel but thats nit the main point crew lost its identity how did this go from a guy with a dead brother being framed to a guy whos begging for likes and follows on instagram this game went to shit and dont even get my started on crew1 server shut down

Not recommended. While visually tolerable the user interface and user experience ruin this game. Menus that are poorly designed and executed. All these long sequences, like for example when you push M for the Map it will use this way too long animation to open it, same when closing it. Every time you want to do something you have to stare at these loading/transition screens that just take too long and don't have any purpose. And the cherry on the cake: there is no way to exit this game from the menu or by using the ESC key (which is the standard for this anyway). I had to google how to exit the game only to find out that you have to press B while being in the car for a small menu to pop up where you can exit the game. This is where game/interface design evolved in 2025.

I'm loving this game, it has crisp graphics, huge map and like cool vehicles etc you can customize cars and, the traffic is like Asseto Corsa another game that is great with mod support, but the ubisoft launcher is godamn hell to use but so far its worth it if it's on sale

Game offers alot and it has an epic start,
Since i'm playing it in 2024 it lacks alot compares to forza,
It made me miss forza so much that i'm back playing it quitting the crew 2, it has so little to offer as for cars, companies and scenary.
Thanks for the fun though, it is well made.

I'm going to be honest, this game is gimmicky, it's not great physics wise, the map is awesome until you look at any of the cities which are absolute garbage beyond a few handcrafted areas. I've spent a lot of time playing this, the customization present is good, but my main problem is how similar the vehicles feel to one another and everything feels pretty slow, especially planes. An okay attempt at everything, but truly good at none, probably has something to do with Ubisoft. Game is fine, but there's a bunch of other games which are better, for moto there's MX vs ATV Legends, for street racing there's Need For Speed. for track racing there's GT on PS5 or Automoblista 2 on PC or Project Cars 2 if you can get your hands on it, same goes for NFS Shift 2 Unleashed (both of which are sadly delisted), for demolition there's Wreckfest, if you want off-road action I'd recommend Baja: Edge of Control HD (It's remastered on Steam). The planes I'm not sure, boat racing is probably the best The Crew 2 has to offer where there is not a superior competitor as far as I know. Despite being so diverse there seems to be zero stock car racing (Ex: Ovals with spec-stocks), Formula racing there's F1 games which are fine. It's very meh, is it a bad game? No absolutely not, do I recommend it? Same answer.

The best part about this game is the dirt pathways through the forest with puddles and jumps, it's pretty good, but there's no wet dirt/mud to be found which makes it a lot more flat of an experience. The map is to me both my biggest issue with the game and my favourite part about it. There's so much to explore and such biome variety, but then comes the cities which feel so heavily undercooked, with presets tiled everywhere. I remember in the earlier days of the game some cities had more detail and places but they got removed for some reason, likely buggy areas. One was a large airport I vaguely remember, unfortunate.

It comes with so much bloatware, it is ridiculous.
Also you need to have an account with Ubisoft...
Edit: Ubisoft has shit servers, and when you get disconnected the game quits even when you are just playing the story

I have never seen a racing game with such shitty physics and boring gameplay

felt good when I was watching my cousin playing it on ps4 but then It doesnt feel the same playing it on steam. the city and environment and buildings are not detailed enough comparing to cars when you are free roaming and generally the graphics is not satisfying

The Crew 2 is the kind of game that simultaneously evokes both positive and negative emotions while playing. I want to start with the map, it is truly HUGE with different cities and beautiful biomes, where you can instantly teleport across the world, and that's really cool. However, this also means the graphics in the game don’t look exactly "Wow", but they are relatively pleasant to the eye. Additionally, the open world feels somewhat "soulless", and playing alone quickly becomes boring. The game features various types of vehicles, from regular cars and motorcycles to planes and boats - that’s awesome! There are tons of races, tasks, and much more - the content is enough for many hours, which is nice. The vehicle control... it’s very arcade... I won’t even compare it to the arcade series of games like Forza Horizon, come on, in my opinion, the controls in GTA 5/4 are better than in this game.

7/10

This game is enjoyable and great to just hop on and drive. I would definitely recommend this game for others especially since I purchased it on sale for a mean, lean, green $1. It's also fun to race and play in multiplayer.

It's your classic Ubisoft title with a little bit of everything, good and bad.

Right from the start it is wise for you to test a couple of races and then going straight to the settings and try what suits you best. I mention this right from the start because a single setting, like "linearity" can make or break the game for you. My first couple races I was already regretting buying this because it didn't played quite like anything else (Forza, Need for Speed, GRID, Project CARS, etc). After changing some settings, I only stopped when I reached the Big Finale race.

Now, do you like recent Assassin's Creed titles with a lot of activities on the map?

If you do, you'll love the map in The Crew 2 since there's a lot going on. Just to give you an example, after unlocking some news cars for new racing categories I had a notification mentioning that I have 40 new activities. In one time I had more than 100 activities unlocked. Yep. If you do not like this or do not care, not to worry you can fast travel from one event to another right after completing them without having to look at the map. That was what I did.

However, none of them are mandatory in order for you to progress (aside of the races themselves, I mean). In order for you to get the big Finale and in order for you to beat the "boss" in each category you have to finish at least 50% of the events in each category. While I do enjoy playing all the game has to offer, I was glad this time around to only have a 50% completion requirement because some categories not only are not my thing, at all, it can become a bit frustrating. I'm talking about hovercraft races where you need to reset your brain and adapt to the different behaviour of these vehicles and airplane races as well. The final segment of each category requires you to mix some different categories in a single race so practice and play a bit with everything just to prepare for said races because you need to be at 1st place to win and since it's one race (with 3 or 4 different segments/categories) if you mess one in the end and get 2nd place you'll need to retry these.

Aside of these different categories that may or may not be to your liking there's a decent variety or vehicles to choose from and level them up as well plenty of non-racing side activities such photos, speeding on radar roads and so on, as seen on games like Forza Horizon. Performance wise I did not have a single issue with the performance, always rocking a solid 60 FPS at 1080p or 1440p without demanding too much of my PC. I had one single crash and two odd bugs where the game put me in my desktop and then back to the game, but, because the game did not pause, I lost the races and had to retry.

The community still seems active with 1k-2k current players but this might change when the games gets (hopefully) updated for it to work fully offline. In the end, there's a lot of racing to be had and the variety in racing is great if you want more than "classic" racing. If you do not enjoy boat racing or moto cross or offroad The Crew 2 still offers a good value to be played in the long term and visualy still hold up quite nicely with different scenarios to race on as well with different weather races (snow, rain, fog, dusty, etc).

Play this game only if you want to play through the whole thing with a friend (or few).
On its own, the driving feels bearable at best (and that's after tweaking all the settings to turn off all the assists), but the content variety with all of the cars, planes, and boats is so big that I can somehow look past that. And playing it with a friend, with no real downtime between races and WORKING multiplayer (compared to my experiences with Forza), was surprisingly enjoyable as a previous hater of this title.

Introduction

Pros

• Tons of vehicles. There are cars, bikes, planes, boats and hovercrafts.
  
• Good vehicle customization with various body parts and a livery editor. You can also add vanities like underglows, tire smokes, nitro colors, window tints, horns and rooftops.
  
• Various disciplines with many events.
  
• Weekly summit, where you can earn cars, performance parts, vanities, money and followers.
  
• Stories are fun and encourage exploration, although there are too many of them.
  

Cons

• Graphics are nothing to write home about. Other games that came out around the same time, like Forza Horizon 4, have much better graphics.
  
• Forced TAA, which makes the graphics blurry and introduces ghosting. You can disable it by following THIS guide.
  
• There's no story, unlike the previous game. There are some cutscenes and dialogue but it takes more than that to make a proper a story.
  
• Awkward and unreliable physics. It's way too easy to lose control of the car.
  
• Night time racing is a nightmare, you can't see anything in places that aren't properly lit up and the headlights just don't work.
  
• The AI is a joke. Even on ace difficulty they provide no challenge. There's also the fact that they somehow go off the track and also spin in circles, as can be seen during the US Speed Tour races.
  
• Some really badly placed jumps, like Hollywood in the Hypercar events.
  
• A huge map that feels empty. The game also unlocks the entire map from the start, so there's no reason to explore. Speaking of which...
  
• Fast travel is way too encouraged. It would've been better if they kept the system from the previous game of exploring the map and then being able to fast-travel, instead of being able to fast-travel from the start.
  
• Random loot/upgrades. It's the absolute worst upgrade system I've ever seen.
  
• There's stuff locked behind the motorpass that you can't get anymore.
  
[*]The soundtrack is forgettable, there's only one song I liked and it's one I already knew.

Conclusion

60 fps locked, controller support with switch pro controller doesn't work and the game is buggy, barely made it to the start of the story and it crashed twice. uninstalled.

Beautiful graphics, huge american roads and cities. Pretty good experience. I love driving calmly in USA which is weird - not even competing which is the goal ingame.

60 fps lock, Steering wheel don't seem to work, Unskipable cutscenes with the most annoying voice over and a pretty bad options menu

fabulous gameplay. must play. different kinds of races and mulitplayer as well

good game but the graphics arent as good nowadays but good for low end pcs
