End of Life: March 31, 2024
A sandbox racing game developed by Ivory Tower Studios in cooperation with Ubisoft Reflections. The Crew was tailored for the fans of spectacular racing video games. The players become drivers racing across the American roads and cities. There are over 100 car models, whose appearance and performance can be modified as you see fit. The Crew offers several play modes – both single and multiplayer.
The Crew for PC, PS4 and etc. is a car game with a fully open world, allowing the player to compete with other drivers in the area of the United States. The title was produced by French studio Ivory Tower, founded by former employees of Eden Games (responsible for the series of Test Drive Unlimited) with the support team developer, Ubisoft Reflections.
As befits a racing game, the players have the opportunity to assume the roles of drivers and try their hand at exciting race through the streets of American cities. The developers took care of a wide selection of cars available, many of which are licensed models of leading manufacturers. In total, the game offers more than a hundred carefully mapped cars in five diverse categories.
The developers’ ambition was, just like the promotional slogan said, to make sure that the players never raced alone, thus the emphasis on the presence of extensive social features, allowing a smooth transition between single and multiplayer modes. The Crew offers a bunch of modes for, inter alia, individual competition, or team competition with one’s friends or randomly chosen players. One of the key features of the game is an open world – the creators prepared nearly 5,000 square miles of land located in the United States, intended for exploration, filled with a variety of attractions: hundreds of missions, races, and tasks. The role-playing campaign offers about 10 hours of gameplay during which the players participate in history of six different characters.
One of the most characteristic elements of the game is an extensive system of car modifying. The players can make a number of changes not only in the appearance of the body, but also in the technical parameters, adapting the vehicle to individual tastes and preferred driving style. The possibility of creating your own vehicle using parts acquired during the game is also an interesting options. The developers tried to accommodate both the inexperienced players and the lovers of simulation-style gameplay with different driving models.
The Crew for PC, PS4 and etc. is characterized by a high-quality graphics and sound. Carefully mapped car models and varied route surroundings where battles between drivers take place also attract attention.

Racing
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. Moreover, The Crew: Calling All Units adds new vehicles, which you can mod to make them into police cars. Curiously, you can choose the police side in the base game too, but to drive a police vehicle, you need the expansion.

Racing
The first large expansion pack to The Crew, a car racing game developed by Ivory Tower. The title invites you to the so-called Summit - the gathering place for all racing enthusiasts. The game offers several different types of challenges and races (e.g. drag racing or Monster Truck competitions), and each of them is set in unique locations (e.g. the famous Bonneville Salt Flats or Yosemite Valley). The challenges that await you in Wild Run can be tackled with the cars that appeared in the base game, but there are lots of new vehicles as well, including high-performance motorcycles, incredibly fast dragsters, huge Monster Trucks, and drift cars. Moreover, some enhancements were made to the game’s visual side.

TheSixthAxis: 6 / 10 by Dan Jones
I really want to love The Crew. The in game world is absolutely huge and it's filled with a great deal of content – it looks brilliant at times too. Although the handling takes some time getting used to it does feel natural as the game begins to open up. Despite that, the driver AI can be infuriating at times, as with the traffic placement which I refuse to believe is a coincidence. The online doesn't feel well integrated either and the story is uninspiring. If you know that you have friends playing The Crew it could turn out to be a great arcade racer, but if you're playing solo for the majority of it, it will no doubt start to feel lifeless and lacking a bit of soul.
