I was lucky enough to receive a beta key for the upcoming open world racer The Crew. Here are my impressions from what I’ve played, unfortunately they’re not positive.
Pros:
– Good amount of visual and performance upgrades for your cars
– Large open world map
Cons:
– Graphics are some of the worst I’ve ever seen on a next gen console, looks very dated and pales in comparison to games such as Forza and Driveclub
– Unable to change individual driving assists
– Poor car models
– Cars sound bland and unrealistic
– Even with hardcore handling settings selected, it still felt heavily assisted
– Gameplay feels repetitive and boring
After playing the beta I am very dissapointed. I thought this could be the next Need for Speed Most Wanted (the original), but it falls short of my expectations by a long way. Steer clear of this one, it’s a lemon
