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!

TL:DR
Get this game when on sale. Its a large open world with enough cars to have fun with. Beware, the driving physic need some hefty use-to tho!
Pros:
- Old but Gold. The game does show its ages, physics are a bit out of whack, but it still look good enough (much better than a Forza Horizon 1 / 2).
- Map is big. You can cruise around for hours without hitting the same roads twice, now that's something nice. As for accuracy of the location, i can't tell, i ain't 'murican, but the cities look pretty nice, especially under night rain.
- Car Customisation. The fact that most car have different set of bumpers, hood, spoiler and soo much more. This remind me of Midnight Club (minus under-glow) and NFS Underground.
- Still Online, but for how long.... If you have a/many friend, you can still play this game fully multiplayer. If your more of a loner like me, know that PVP and Summit (their season event) still ''work'', but i've yet to be able to join online PVP after trying at various hours. Can't blame the game on that, its getting old. Just an FYI.
- Mostly Seamless Loading time. I remember playing this game on X360 and that wasn't the case. But here, (im running the game on an SSD) CHANGING CAR take about 4 seconds. Yes, really. Fast travel? 4-6 seconds. Turn 10, please, take note!
-The Campaign isn't Garbage. I liked it so far. Your MC stay in character and the story is rather dark when you take the subtleties into account.
Con:
- Online will die. The game will have 10 years soon and i assume The Crew 3 will probably arrive too sometime in the next 2 years if it ever happen at all. PVP is already mostly dead.
- Physics. This is where it scratches all the wrong wound. Sometime, during cut scene, your car will flip over (happened a lot with the Dodge Challenger). Its fun once or twice, not every time i reload a 3 part mission. Most car I've driven feel kinda if they had 4 soap instead of tires. The jump are especially weird. Collision are also bizarre. Drift setting is the worst imo. Liked the Drag minigame tho, pretty fun.
-Crashes. Albeit not frequent, it did happen at least 3 time at the time of this review. The autosave system seem pretty good to avoid any data lost, but keep it in mind, it happen.
Overall, thats about it really. Its a fun, old racing open-world game. It sure doesn't deserve 60$ today, but i got it for 10$ with all DLCs and its a fun game.
Good day!
