The Crew Motorfest is the informal third installment of The Crew franchise - a series of open-world racing games by Ubisoft and its subsidiary Ivory Tower (founded by former employees of Eden Games, best known from Test Drive Unlimited). The game was designed as a more direct competitor to Forza Horizon, therefore it differs slightly in character and scale from its predecessors and doesn't have a numbered title.

Gameplay

Unlike the previous two games, which featured a reconstruction of nearly entire mainland United States, The Crew Motorfest is set on the Hawaiian island of Oahu (racing games enthusiasts should already know it from Test Drive Unlimited). The island is scaled down from real life, though it retains its main attractions, such as the city of Honolulu and the volcanic mountain ranges.

Metro GameCentral: 5 / 10 by Nick Gillett

A pub band cover version of Forza Horizon 5, that despite a few unique ideas doesn't come close to the fun and variety of its inspiration.

Full Review

Shacknews: 7 / 10 by Nicholas Tan

The Crew Motorfest is an acceptable reproduction of the Forza Horizon concept. If you focus on the thematic playlists and roam the colorful open world listening to the radio, you’ll get a lot of mileage out of the game. There’s enough content here to last you well over 20 hours between events and exploration. However, apart from the ability to change vehicle types on the fly, the game is unfortunately short on original ideas. The limited multiplayer, lack of compelling side activities, and restricted crossplay also hold The Crew Motorfest back from passing the finish line ahead of the curve.

Gaming Nexus: 8.5 / 10 by Eric Hauter

An open world racing game that doesn't leave players wandering around lost, The Crew Motorfest has landed on a slightly derivative but much more propulsive structure with it's new playlists. With a ton of interesting events, a fun setting, and a wide swath of vehicles to earn, there is a wealth of content here, and most of it feels curated and fun.
