The Crew
The Crew is a racing game set in a persistent open world environment for free-roaming across a scaled-down recreation of the contiguous United States. The map is split into five regions: The Midwest, East Coast, The South, Mountain States, and West Coast. Each region has its own unique geographical features. Six main cities (one in each region, two in the Midwest) are featured in the game: Detroit and Chicago in the Midwest, New York City on the East Coast, Miami in The South, Las Vegas in the Mountain States, and Los Angeles on the West Coast. Various other cities, namely St. Louis, Washington, D.C., New Orleans, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Santa Fe, San Francisco, and Seattle, are also featured in the game. Over thirty smaller cities and towns line the countryside, such as Nashville, Norfolk and others. It takes approximately 45 minutes in real time to drive from coast to coast in-game.

I purchase is not ownership, piracy is not theft.
You could've easily just released a single player patch for this game and you didn't.
Me along with many many other people are never going to buy another ubisoft game ever again.
You've proven you cannot be trusted, You clearly don't care about your customers, let alone fans.
This should be grounds for a lawsuit, I hope you guys go bankrupt.
Props to The Crew Unlimited team on discord for doing all they can to research and attempt to preserve this game,
I hope they crack and mod an offline mode in soon!

In my opinion the crew is the most underrated racing game of all time. Let me explain. The crew 2 and motorfest are fun games sure, but they lost what I think made the crew series so great and unique. The Crew may not have an extensive story or the biggest list of cars but what it does have is the best world in a racing game ever. It was so ambitious to create a map of this scale not just due to the size but mostly because of having to scale the entire U.S just right so that the player feels like they are actually in the country and I think they nailed it to the best of their ability. Players may see that many places are missing but remember this game was released in 2014 and this idea was never expanded on sadly. The world feels so big and unique to the point where you can keep driving for hours and not get that all too familiar feeling that you will reach the end of the map. Furthermore the open world police chases and things you can see along the way as well as real city and state landmarks keep the exploration of this game an absolute blast! I highly recommend people just try this if you are a fan of NFS or other arcade racing games and looking for something fresh!
Update as of 16/12/2023- Today we got some tragic news... The Crew 1 Servers will be shutting down on March 24th 2024. To most the crew 1 may just be a footnote in the series or gaming in general. But to me and im sure many others it was so much more. The crew is one of the most unique and extensive games ive ever played, especially for a Ubisoft game. I still remember when I first picked this up, how excited I was cruising around the midwest just looking at the map thinking WOW I get all this?! I wish I could feel that again. But this game didnt only have the width of an ocean, but the depth too, for a map this size there is a shocking amount of detail, when you cruise around the world feels alive, there is so many things to see. not just the hundreds of landmark locations but different events in the world, traffic, air traffic, animals etc. There is just so much to see and do. This game is honestly the U.S.A road trip that ive always wanted to do, and im so grateful for getting the opportunity to do so on here, although i dont have too many hours on here, i spent many hundreds on PS4 exploring every nook and cranny. Its sad to see that the crews uniqueness was never expanded on in the sequals. no matter what anyone says, the crew was never about the cars or customisation... It was about the world and exploring in a massively online setting, thats what made the crew so amazing and unique. Not to mention the awesome police chases going between different jurisdictions hearing the radio chatter and the vehicles its just so much more fun and realistic to me personally than NFS or anything else. Anyhow it is a shame that the crew 2 and subsequently motorfest diverted from all this and wanted to be like Forza Horizon, not saying theyre bad games just that I wish we could have got more of this, because its a master piece. But who knows maybe in the future! Its good to stay hopeful :) But in the words of... Idk someone, 'dont be sad that its over, be glad it happened'. So my friends please, enjoy these last few months with this gem of a game before it goes. I was hoping when they shut the servers off they would still make some way to play offline but it seems that isnt the case :( So cruise around, sightsee, enjoy the last police chases. Have fun and thank you for everything The Crew 1!!

This was a great game while it lasted. I wish they would atleast make it playable offline or something so we can still appreciate the game and its graphics.
