The Crew Expansion Pack
Release Date: November 29, 2016
Another expansion for the MMO racing game by Ivory Tower. It features a mini-campaign consisting of 12 missions, in which you can play as the other side — the policemen. The gameplay consists of dynamic and spectacular pursuits, and you can now use previously unavailable gadgets and abilities. The policemen can use electromagnetic charges and call for air support, while the other participants use flash grenades and infinite nitro.
The Crew: Calling All Units for PC, PS4 and XONE is the second expansion for The Crew, the MMO racing game released in 2014; the game is set an open world, emulating the whole United States. Like the base game, the expansion was developed by Ivory Tower, which belongs to Ubisoft.
The Calling All Units expansion allows you play on the side of the police. In the new side-campaign (which consists of 12 missions) you can unlock previously unavailable vehicles and mod them into police cars.
You can also participate in pursuits, which can involve other players. In contrast to the pursuits featured in the base game, the participants can now use special gadgets and abilities. For example, the policemen can use EMP charges and call for air support, while their “prey” can use flash grenades and infinite nitro.
Curiously, you don't need Calling All Units to participate in the abovementioned pursuits on PC, PS4 and XONE. You can play as the “prey” with only the base game installed. However, to play as the police and unlock new vehicles and missions, you need the expansion.

Game Ratings for The Crew: Calling All Units Video Game.
AR12Gaming: 7 / 10
The Crew: Calling All Units is good for anybody looking to spice up the standard or Wild Run edition of The Crew as they await its sequel coming in 2018, but it's not a necessity.
Digitally Downloaded: 2.5 / 5
Calling All Units doesn’t set out to do anything new, it’s pretty much an online only version of Need for Speed: Pursuit. The new mechanics of chasing down others online with a group of others is indeed fun, and for the most part the online does work. The story does nothing exciting whatsoever, but it does teach the new mechanics and how they work. Fans of The Crew will likely get something out of this, but it's not nearly enough to turn The Crew into an essential game, either.
Stevivor: 7 / 10 by Nicholas Simonovski
Overall, “Calling All Units” is a neat expansion to add to The Crew, but unless you’ve got a sufficient in-game credits you’ll either need to buy crew points with actual money or grind through events to afford the vehicles you’ll need to complete the additional missions. Gameplay-wise the upgraded pursuits are fun to play and the delivery events are enjoyable too, although they do get repetitive. The new police vehicles look great and handle well too, and for those gamers who haven’t finished the base storyline yet, the expansion adds some additional flavour to the game.
