That’s fine, but they’re so generic and lifeless, it’s a mystery why they’re even there in the first place. There are interstitial cutscenes as you make your way up the various ladders, but they’re meant to be as brief and unobtrusive as possible. Then The Crew 2 opens up, and it’s up to you to more or less grind for the sake of grinding.

Then you pick a category, from street racing to a mix between land, air, and sea racing, and play various activities strewn across the map.Įach time you pick a new discipline for the first time, you’re treated to a cutscene in which a storied professional greets you, gives you a brief challenge, then a free starting car if you win.

This time you pick a driver from a list, and you’re a racing hopeful. That didn’t go over well with the audience, so this time around Ubisoft tried something more streamlined.
The Crew tried to go for a straight-up campaign mode, with a wacky story inspired by the likes of The Fast & The Furious. But there’s only so much of that you can do without purpose. Sure, driving across the United States, or rather a smashed-together, video game version of it, is pretty cool. This is the thing that pushes you to play beyond whether or not you enjoy the mechanics. The first problem with The Crew 2 is its motivating tools. It also tosses in boats and planes, to try and distract from the focal point, the shiny, red, street racing car front and center on the box. How can a game find an intersection between sandbox play and racing, which is much more focused and constructed by design? Should a game like this be more on the Forza end of serious, realistic physics or more like a Grand Theft Auto or Crazy Taxi where it doesn’t matter if you bump into things sometimes? Well, The Crew 2 doesn’t really try to find a balance, instead opting to just do both at the same time.

The elevator pitch is this: what if it is a racing game, but also open world sandbox? Also, literally, with a crew of your friends to get together on the reg and play around with? It sounds awesome on paper, as well as super ambitious, given the nature of open world projects. Now that it’s a series, let’s talk about the core concept of The Crew, which perhaps is even more at the forefront with The Crew 2.
