Imagine Burnout meeting the MMO world – that is what The Crew is about. A MMO racer set all across the US. The Crew is one of the next-gen console titles, which is definitely worth the anticipation. To be released some time during the next year, the power of the Xbox One and the PS4 certainly will come to life, when this game hits the shelves. In The Crew you will be able to enjoy real cities and roads and not fictional one; moreover you will be able to enjoy them, whilst racing against real players. What more could a virtual racer want?
A lot more is the answer and a lot more is expected of this title. Ubisoft is bound to let us experience underground racing at its finest. You will be able to customize your car exactly like the car of your dreams. The customization options are a real treat, because you are able to change your car depending on the style and types of races you like. If you are more of a city racers – go ahead and customize your car for the city streets; if you are more into off-road – off-road it is! The game really is set to remove the limits of the virtual racing world.
One of the biggest features of the game is still their passion to create their maps, focused on real world cities, starting from the Pacific Northwest and driving to Miami, going to Las Vegas and enjoying all those neon sings and lights. Especially for the people who are in love with the American culture, but don’t have the chance to go there, this game will bring the US to them. And moreover, racing in real-world based cities is far more enjoyable, than if you are in a fictional one.
Another great feature that adds to the realism of the game is the licensed cars. You will be able to choose cars from the lots of Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Ford and many others. Every vehicle in game will be a representation of a real one, which is more than great. However, car manufacturers didn’t allow Ubisoft to support real crash damage, so don’t expect to be covered in broken glass and shredded metal, as damage is not a real factor in this game, which is kind of disappointing in spite of all the realism this game suggests, but we just have to cope with it.
The Crew is not just another street racing game. It is like a combination of the nicest features of games such as Need for Speed and Burnout: Paradise. Taking advantage of the next-gen consoles, you will not be seeing any loading screens; you will be able to travel across real roads and cities and America and street race with real people. It is definitely a game, which is worth to be anticipated and a next-gen console title, which will most probably become a hit when released in 2014. The Crew, by Ubisoft, is one hell-of-a racer and an MMO and will definitely be worth the wait.
