I bought this for £7.99 in a sale recently. Sure, the graphics aren't the greatest, but the sheer variety of disciplines and the fact that there's always something new every week makes this a game well worth buying and playing. It's an 8/10 from me, and I can see myself playing it for a long, long time. Oh yeah, great videos man - I subscribed a while back.
This video successfully sold me on the game. It looks like everything I want and with a Steam racing sale going on right now I can get it for a whopping 80% off. Even the season pass is slashed by that amount right now so if it's half as good as you claim this is an absolute steal. Cheers!
Ahh I shoulda waited! I spent like 60ish a couple of months ago. I just started playing a couple days ago though and I love it! Definitely take advantage and buy this game if you have a decent PC setup!
You dont need the season pass ubisoft have move one step ahead and now require players who want to get every new update item to buy a currency with real money like rockstar does with shark cards if this is something that bothers you you can play without paying
My main thing with the map is quality issues at times, and the lack of some large cities that are just not in game. Like tell me why they added Nashville but not Atlanta? If they do The Crew 3, it would be nice to see an updated map and better highways and backroads
I think it's kind of sad they removed a whole bunch of places from the first game, the map really had character you actually wanted to look around, you wanted to see what you could find, then they removed a bunch of places in The Crew 2, now personally I really like the first crew but I've been considering if I should get the crew two, I like the fact that it had a story it wasn't a very good story but I mostly liked just being able to drive around and explore, this review kind of help but I don't know I'm not really feeling the whole be an influencer vibe, if anyone has opinions on what they like about this game compared to the first one let me know because I'm really struggling with what I want to do currently it's on sale for $26
@@mr.exodus3844 I think if you picked it up for that price, you get what you payed for. The game still is updated and the car selection is pretty ok but outside of that, that’s the only good thing I can say. If you got friends that play Crew 2 then mess around with them because it makes the game that much better. If you want something more story related, I recommend getting Forza Horizon 1 or 2 if you got an Xbox One or Series X.
@@SkiaAAAA it's not so much the story I care about it's just the fact of being able to fuck off and drive around kind of thing, I liked the idea of being able to drive across the entire United States a lot and being able to visit actual cities, The Crew 2 seems fun and from what you said it sounds like it would be great if I had a group of friends, but if I can't explore the map like I used to then I don't know if the game is worth it. I'm kind of Lucky it's on sale because it's a regular $92 game here lol, if you think that price is worth it, the $26 then I might give it a shot.
@@mr.exodus3844 Hmmm. I would say get it then. I actually had Crew 2 first then bought Crew 1 and I agree that Crew 1 is by far the better of the 2. Ig at that point if you are a fan of The Crew, just get Crew 2 to say you have the Crew 2. It’s not like there isn’t fun to be had but yeah. The only thing I am gonna recommend though is that you look up money guides and just in general faster ways to earn money because the prices for cars in game are unreasonably expensive and you will be doing a lot of grinding to just get the cars you want
4:10 You forgot to mention that The Crew 2 also has Pro Settings, which you can use to tune handling and performance. It's right at the bottom when you're in the performance section. I commented this on your 2021 Crew 2 video but you haven't noticed it. Otherwise, great video. Also, if you buy this game, make sure you get the Gold Edition of this game so that you get a permanent 20% discount at the game's shop. If you hate microtransactions, stay away from this game. There are some limited-time cars and cosmetic vanities that can only be bought with Crew Credits in Motorpasses (Battlepass). I also wish you could've talked about police chases, stunt scoring events, time trial events, taxi missions, and story missions.
Microteansactions or not, i‘d say the game in itsself has more than enough content to keep you entertained. Even Season Pass vehicles can be obtained with the standard edition. With the season pass you get them for free, otherwise you gotta buy them with ingame cash. Its also crazy how many cars were added through time. The Jesko and Gemera, M8 Competition, countless bugattis. But yes, the game is a grind, HOWEVER: once you finished the game, this is what you do. Get a good Hypercar, maximize the „Rich“ Skill, grind New York on Ace over and over. Im at a point where im done with the race in 30 mins and it gets me 400k, do that like once a day and your set for the entirety of the games online lifespan lol
@@CallousKobold the only microtransaction i. the game are cars that you can purchase in game but different skin and vanity packs, some unique cars only required to play on live summit.
I came back to this after years and have been loving it, as a huge fan of the crew 1 as well as a closed and open beta tester for the crew 2, I was disappointed at release at the seemingly downgrades from the crew 1, I did everything the game had to offer and then left it, but coming back I realised this game is just fun. Sure it may not be the most realistic, best graphics etc but the sheer unique nature of the crew 2, the utter feeling of freedom I've never felt in a game and the truly expansive experiences you can have, the crew 2 is just such a fun game! P.s This review was absolutely brilliant well done :) you perfectly encapsulated this games nature and just how fun it is!
(Btw I’m not arguing because launch did suck there is no question) but the crew to is not meant to be realistic it’s quite clear the devs wanted to stand out with physics that were fun. Making the gameplay as fun as possible was definitely what they were going with like when they added an update which allows you to go flying if you use nos mid air and cutting back on graphics for an impressive map. It’s fun to play with friends in these silly levels like the chases and aliens.
TFFox... I never played the first Crew, but I just downloaded Crew 2 today and I am OBSESSED with this game! I love the mix of realism and retro arcade styles and I LOVE that there is continued support for this game. I snagged this game for $10 via the PSN sale and I am utterly blown away by this incredible game!
Everything doesn’t have to be realistic . It’s a video game . Glad you came back and had fun ! People want things to be to realistic nowadays man . Video games are to have fun !
I feel like most reviews I came across before getting the game really didn't cover the important points, like the diversity between different events to keep the game fun for a long time. I definitely think the game could be better (course editor, better parts system, etc.) but it's truly an incredible open world game that you can play for hundreds of hours before getting tired of and explore endlessly. Great review
@@josephcoviello5721 sorry for the late reply but in the pro vehicle tuning there are assists one of the is ESP I suggest turning that off bc that's what sometimes makes your car unresponsive to the inputs. And also the controller setting need to be tweaked a little bit I suggest looking through every setting and looking up a video. But that's basically it my controls feel kinda like fh4 now and I'm incredibly satisfied with it
Oh wow, I’ve had this game for years and never expected to reach this popular. This game is the most worth it in my opinion. It is the most versatile racing game. Very creative and unique.
As a motor rider i can say that cruising on a sportbike with cockpit view i can easily cruise for an hour or more just cruising trough the traffic just like in real life, very good. One of the best handling with motorcycle games how the bike feel while riding etc.
this might be personal preference but this game’s cities look horrible. they look like they’re made of plastic and it really kills my vibe playing this game, even the crew 1 looked better.
@@buffering7612 i was gonna get this or motorfest. might get both, but might get motorfest while its on sale. crew 2 is gonna stop getting updates i heard
It’s been way too long since I’ve actually sat down and watched a video of yours. So glad I did. Brings me back to simpler times, when I was in desperate need for a decent racing game that had lots of content. I watched your video review of this game in 2020, all those months ago, and nearly 2 years later, still find it enjoyable, as do I still find your content enjoyable. It’s incredible seeing how far you’ve come since then, and I would say stumbling upon your channel was the best thing to ever happen to me. Stay blessed. 🔥🙏🏾
To any new people thinking of buying it beware some vehicles will be locked off to you forever they were added in events that required platinum to unlock in things called summit events a weekly challenge this really annoys me as I want some of these vehicles and I'm now forever locked out of them with no way of obtaining them now Despite its flaws I do like driving around the map is huge it takes a while to drive down the same road and notice I usually like to put on music or podcasts and cruise like its coming from the radio I would like to see more old cars added to the game too
They do come back you just have to wait for it to come back during one of the months which is no where near now with the amount of stuff that slowly getting into the game but hey I was in your shoes back then struggling to get summit vehicles but eventually I got extremely good at the game and every summit I’ve placed platinum with no sweat it just takes time to actually get good at the game and I’ve had it since December 2018 but the summits for sure definitely require absolute skill.
Got this in sale last week really enjoying it actually more than horizon 5 literally farmed 5 mill in takedown enough to buy a vehicle in each class it’s a massive game plenty to do next gen upgrade is coming in July
Is it worth getting even now when you can't get the cars that were exclusive to various events in the past? Seems like the later you get this, the more cars you miss out on.
I’ve never been big into racing games, but just being able to hop in a chill (like a truckingsimulator) or mess with my friends was just the icing on the cake on top of the 80% (or so) discount I got on it
If you ask me, this is the best racing open world game I've ever had the chance to play! Not only is it super realistic when it comes to graphics, but it's also diverse and it personally makes me much more free and independent while exploring the enormous map! I suggest everybody playing it without hesitating because it's got its own uniqueness and I can't even compare it to any other game of the racing ones I've played!
Growing up and playing games in the '80s, 30fps in a game like this is more than acceptable. It's bliss, actually. And what is considered 'average' graphics in today's games, or even games a few years old, I consider the graphics to be gorgeous. Gamers today have impossible standards. Anything less than mind-blowingly awesome is frowned upon, even shunned and ridiculed. I love having a low bar. I get to enjoy games that today's gamers just won't bother with. 😜
I played all Forza Horizons and this is hands down way better. The graphics look better in Forza but they're not much of use if you're getting bored, which will never happen here.
2:39 Great point here. My i5-9400F with just 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1660 with 6GB of VRAM would not perform well with Forza Horizon 5. I'll wait a few years and get an i9-12900KF with Nvidia RTX 3090-Ti. The Crew 2 is a perfect fit for my i5-9400F. With the GTX 1660 graphics card, I can easily max out on all of the graphics settings.
How can it not? My OCed 4690k and R9 290x runs Horizon 5 almost maxed at 60fps, She just doesn't like TAA because she's old, but I'm floored a modern I5 and 1660 can't play H5
I get that the speed customisation isn't good but it does have a AFFIX stat which lets you tweak the cars in certain ways to make them feel different. But it is hard to get used to.
I downloaded it for free recently with PS Plus subscription. I think it's really good! Reminds me a lot of Test Drive Unlimited, kinda wish I found this game sooner, although it is nice to have all the added content from the past years, gives a lot to do!
I had the crew 2 on stadia and loved it! I recently purchased it on Xbox for $9 with season pass and lots of dlc. The only disappointment is finding out the wheel support is pretty nonexistent.its a great game with a controller
Wheel support is nonexistant? Which wheel are you using? There are tonnes of settings for force feedback, even if it's not the best, and all the wheels I've ever had have been supported!
Been playing this one again lately and instantly remembered why i dumped hundreds of hours into the first game in high school. This game is so underrated and somehow it gets more fun for me with every update
I downloaded it for free on PlayStation plus on my ps5 and I was actually pretty impressed with it. The visuals and landscapes are pretty underwhelming but the drifting and customization options are really cool. Definitely worth downloading it for free.
What the...ok thats some trippy stuff happening to the landscape at 4:27 😷 Great video thanks! Its like £4.20 now so I might just grab it! Have my sub!
Yes, they are the 'live extreme' events where you race different classes in the same race! You can get a stint in a boat and then switch to a lambo...it's pretty damn cool! Thanks for the sub man, that's hugely appreciated!
played this game pretty much on day one ,still remember how excited i was to play it back then! i still play it every once in a while. its just fun to do a road trip across the usa
This video is the thing I needed I saw this video and rlly wanted the game as I'm a fan of steering wheel gaming and knowing I could go around the entire USA and that it actually has a rlly big map was amazing news to me luckily for me right now the game is on sale for 6 pound
I got it today, with a price of £4.99 on steam. Thought I’d try it out as it’s cheap and similar to forza as I have heard. First day, 9 hours. I’ve earned myself a Kawa H2, as I LOVE motorbikes. I have fallen in love.
Personally, I would avoid it! It will hurt your early game progression which is one of the best bits! If you want a headstart though, it will give you that.
I was not expecting someone to say good things about this game omg as one of the top players i see everyday only bad feedback about the game so i forget a lot the most simple things your video made me remember that i am not playing a trash game, thanks
Someone said enthusia emulated to 4k with a wheel set up was a dream set up; but then they'd only be missing out on this goldmine of a game. I've been playing it for only three days now and I love it.
@@michaelJones_1800 I would get the bugatti chiron ss 300+, I think that one, the la voture niore and the chiron carbon(you can win this one at icon 1000) can do at least 300 or more. But the chiron ss can do 300 stock!
I bought it on sale a few months ago and still it doesn't cease to amaze me grinding doesn't take up a whole lot of time and just driving around wherever you want is just great
To be honest, this game is a gem. I got it at launch and stopped playing it. Since its launch it has fallen off in popularity quite a bit. I went back the other day and was extremely impressed. I have no idea why I stopped playing such an awesome and cool game!
Hey I been playing Forza 5 since release and its first ever time I played mmo type racer on PC. I was wondering if this game has solo farm/progression like Forza 5 where you can do seasonal championship vs A.I? Also does this game have agrigious lootbox system where most stuff is behind forced pay wall? Is game new player friendly ( those that are not lewis hamilton level skill)? Thank You
I remember I got this game when it first came out on steam and I absolutely feel in love with it. Literally played the game for like a whole week straight 😂
What a review man, sickest thing ive seen, makes me feel like i already played it lol, nice bro!!!! (quick question how long it takes to style your own car like M5 or RS6 in Forxa? Also Forza 5 or 4? and why?) :)
Cheers man! Sorry for the late reply. Doesn't take long to mod cars like an M5 to look how you want in Forza Horizon. Also very quick progression to afford such cars and the mods. Forza 5 for sure! Graphics are incredible, map is better and the playerbase is very good. Can't go wrong though!
For the future, I think it would be super sick if they made The Crew 3 and it was based in Europe so that we’d have to use planes and boats more because the cars are really what is played the most
60fps on next gen consoles is a good upgrade! And visually yes there are some improvements but they are not huge! The Crew Motorfest is coming out in September with massively overhauled graphics. It looks amazing!
I hope crew 3 will be going back to street racing... And have a map located somewhere else... Like in japan or something... Im happy to get rid of planes and boats and stuff mabye even set in the 90s would be great
I played this on PS4 a couple years ago and it stuttered bad since my console was pretty old Bought it again today on PC, it'll be nice to actually play above 30 FPS and maxed out graphics 👌
It will get a 60fps update for next gen later this year. There is possibility for other graphical upgrades too but we haven't heard much other than 60fps (which is confirmed)
I'm relatively new to the PS4, having only bought one a year ago and I got this on PS Now the same time as I got all the NFS games on EA Play and I'm still playing this whereas I got pretty bored of the NFS games once I had finished the main stories. The fact that they release new content regularly means it never gets stale and there's always something to do or look forward to, plus you don't have to fork out $120 million dollars for a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe because you get one free in the game! Btw, this will be available on the new PS Plus Extra and Premium subscription services in June alongside The Crew.
6:10 Sure wish I could unlock that helicopter. Unfortunately, I really suck at keeping up with Wade in The Switch race. I'm using the Ford Focus RS 2010 RC Edition at lvl.160ish. Out of desperation, I decided to record/upload a video to show an example in hopes that somebody could help me. I would really like to pass this race before I start pulling my hair out.😔
Hey man! Looks like you're pretty close... Looks like you're struggling with grip in corners with the Ford - do you have traction control and similar settings on? (they need to be). A few less resets on the final section and you'll have him. the only way to make it easier is to upgrade your cars. I remember this being a rather annoying one for myself...
@AverageGameReviews I always equip the newest part as I collect them. That's why my Ford Focus is in the 160's. To be honest, this car sucks at drifting. There are times when the car won't turn at all, and it just continues forward. Other than that, Wade makes me eat his dust every time. I just can't keep up with him. I'm not really sure this Ford Focus is the right car for the race. But I'm not going to use the Enforcer, which is the other choice it gives me, cause that turns way too slowly. I really wish I could find a video that would show me a specific way to complete this race step-by-step. Like how to set up the vehicle and how to drive on the race track. Cause yeah, I'm thinking I need my hand held for this one.😔
There has to be a middle ground between cars handed out too generously (FH5) and the tedious grind for in game currency to buy cars (NFS Heat and the Crew 1).
@@tomasburian6550 I wasn't referring to handling. FH5 is too generous when it comes to currency to acquire cars. Every level up comes with a possibility of vehicle as a reward. I'm not complaining about that. Grinding for currency is tedious in the Crew 2 and NFS Heat.
This game really is super sweet! I'm not a big gamer but I love this thing you got your flight simulator your boat simulator your car simulator your motorcycle simulator LOL just showed up being able to run around like you can in GTA v if they could match these two games together I think it would be the perfect ultimate game
@@AverageGameReviews its also really fun to fly up high and then shapeshift into a land/sea vehicle....i hoper there are fun stuff to do with the helicopter when i unlock it.

To any new people thinking of buying it beware some vehicles will be locked off to you forever they were added in events that required platinum to unlock in things called summit events a weekly challenge this really annoys me as I want some of these vehicles and I'm now forever locked out of them with no way of obtaining them now
Despite its flaws I do like driving around the map is huge it takes a while to drive down the same road and notice I usually like to put on music or podcasts and cruise like its coming from the radio
I would like to see more old cars added to the game too
They do come back you just have to wait for it to come back during one of the months which is no where near now with the amount of stuff that slowly getting into the game but hey I was in your shoes back then struggling to get summit vehicles but eventually I got extremely good at the game and every summit I’ve placed platinum with no sweat it just takes time to actually get good at the game and I’ve had it since December 2018 but the summits for sure definitely require absolute skill.
Yes he is right
I loved this game a lot when playing on ps4, I am considering buying it again but for pc
I'm tempted to do the same purely for 60FPS 😂
@@AverageGameReviews Lmao
Don't forget were getting 60 FPS update and graphics update on July
Okay cool and the game will be unplayable soon!
@@skullembzxm2210 oh boy...another cry baby with his "gAmE wIlL be DEad" first you gotta live too those years then complain
Is there wheel/pedal/shifter support? Looking for a nice game to just cruise around in.
Yes, there sure is! It's not too bad either and there's lots of settings you can change to tweak it
@@AverageGameReviews thank you! & thanks for the video.
@@I-dont-reply No worries man, you're very welcome!
Same here. Just got a Series X with G920 and this looks like fun.
Have hundreds of hours on this game and did not know that the apartment had floors to showcase cars. Wow!
Did you realise from this video? 😂
@@AverageGameReviews Yes! Will be spending more time decorating my place!
how did you not know xD
Got this in sale last week really enjoying it actually more than horizon 5 literally farmed 5 mill in takedown enough to buy a vehicle in each class it’s a massive game plenty to do next gen upgrade is coming in July
is the next gen upgrade part of the same game or is it sold separately
@@dantopps7332 just update to current game will be 60fps with some graphical improvements
@@Megadeth50 ok thanks
Is it worth getting even now when you can't get the cars that were exclusive to various events in the past? Seems like the later you get this, the more cars you miss out on.
@@tomasburian6550 if your all about collecting everything maybe not but I’m more for the gameplay plenty vehicles to use still
I’ve never been big into racing games, but just being able to hop in a chill (like a truckingsimulator) or mess with my friends was just the icing on the cake on top of the 80% (or so) discount I got on it
If you ask me, this is the best racing open world game I've ever had the chance to play! Not only is it super realistic when it comes to graphics, but it's also diverse and it personally makes me much more free and independent while exploring the enormous map! I suggest everybody playing it without hesitating because it's got its own uniqueness and I can't even compare it to any other game of the racing ones I've played!
Can't wait for the 60 fps update in July. I'm definitely getting back on that game. 8/10.
Yer it’s been a long requested feature :) I can’t wait as on ps5 this is the closest we have to forza horizon
I think a sequel would be better
Same here 🤗 lol
Get a PC
Downloaded the game from PS Plus Premium today in preparation
Got this game for $5 from the Steam Summer Sale!
8:46 We've all had this pain at least once
Growing up and playing games in the '80s, 30fps in a game like this is more than acceptable. It's bliss, actually. And what is considered 'average' graphics in today's games, or even games a few years old, I consider the graphics to be gorgeous. Gamers today have impossible standards. Anything less than mind-blowingly awesome is frowned upon, even shunned and ridiculed. I love having a low bar. I get to enjoy games that today's gamers just won't bother with. 😜
Don't be ridicilous. Gamers nowadays have very low standards. Otherwise, the industry would not be in such a bad state for costumers right now.
@Just Watch You're thinking of the mainstream casual gamer who only plays the big AAA games like FIFA and Call of Duty tho
I never knew this game was ‘open world’ until today !! Might need to give it a try cause I love just roaming around the map in a game 😃
That's interesting actually because I saw it all over the place and didn't realise for ages also! Maybe they need to advertise it better...
I played all Forza Horizons and this is hands down way better. The graphics look better in Forza but they're not much of use if you're getting bored, which will never happen here.
bro, its fun, also boating in cool little rivers and hidden spots is epic and relaxing
yooo 4:29 Inception moment, look at the background! LOL
2:39 Great point here. My i5-9400F with just 8GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1660 with 6GB of VRAM would not perform well with Forza Horizon 5. I'll wait a few years and get an i9-12900KF with Nvidia RTX 3090-Ti. The Crew 2 is a perfect fit for my i5-9400F. With the GTX 1660 graphics card, I can easily max out on all of the graphics settings.
How can it not? My OCed 4690k and R9 290x runs Horizon 5 almost maxed at 60fps, She just doesn't like TAA because she's old, but I'm floored a modern I5 and 1660 can't play H5
30 seconds into the video and the diversity alone has me sold. Not to mention the crisp graphics.
Played it on release on pc literally un installed it in 3 hrs playing it now on next generation console at 60fps and love it 2023
I get that the speed customisation isn't good but it does have a AFFIX stat which lets you tweak the cars in certain ways to make them feel different. But it is hard to get used to.
I downloaded it for free recently with PS Plus subscription. I think it's really good! Reminds me a lot of Test Drive Unlimited, kinda wish I found this game sooner, although it is nice to have all the added content from the past years, gives a lot to do!
I had the crew 2 on stadia and loved it! I recently purchased it on Xbox for $9 with season pass and lots of dlc. The only disappointment is finding out the wheel support is pretty nonexistent.its a great game with a controller
Wheel support is nonexistant? Which wheel are you using? There are tonnes of settings for force feedback, even if it's not the best, and all the wheels I've ever had have been supported!
Best $1 game I’ve ever played!! 😊👍🤷♂️
Been playing this one again lately and instantly remembered why i dumped hundreds of hours into the first game in high school. This game is so underrated and somehow it gets more fun for me with every update
I downloaded it for free on PlayStation plus on my ps5 and I was actually pretty impressed with it. The visuals and landscapes are pretty underwhelming but the drifting and customization options are really cool. Definitely worth downloading it for free.
What the...ok thats some trippy stuff happening to the landscape at 4:27 😷
Great video thanks! Its like £4.20 now so I might just grab it! Have my sub!
Yes, they are the 'live extreme' events where you race different classes in the same race! You can get a stint in a boat and then switch to a lambo...it's pretty damn cool!
Thanks for the sub man, that's hugely appreciated!
@@AverageGameReviews Sounds like a hoot! Getting it now while the sales on!
played this game pretty much on day one ,still remember how excited i was to play it back then!
i still play it every once in a while.
its just fun to do a road trip across the usa
PSPlus members get it the “special edition” version for 11.99 until 6/23!
I still play this game every now and then. I love roaming on the street bikes.
0:24 so it’s diddy kong racing then 😂
They recently had a graphics update not sure if it’s only new gen but it’s so beautiful now
I am waiting for the PS5 update, I can't do the 30FPS any more. Still love this game however.
man i’ve been doing 30 fps for years now. you’ll be alright until the update hits 😂😂
Tbh I can’t either but it’s a solid 30 very solid ….
Always loved steep and enjoyed riders republic, I realized this is basically that with cars and planes, saw it was $10 had to get it
This video is the thing I needed I saw this video and rlly wanted the game as I'm a fan of steering wheel gaming and knowing I could go around the entire USA and that it actually has a rlly big map was amazing news to me luckily for me right now the game is on sale for 6 pound
I got it today, with a price of £4.99 on steam. Thought I’d try it out as it’s cheap and similar to forza as I have heard. First day, 9 hours. I’ve earned myself a Kawa H2, as I LOVE motorbikes. I have fallen in love.
Would you reccomend buying season pass?
Personally, I would avoid it! It will hurt your early game progression which is one of the best bits!
If you want a headstart though, it will give you that.
great vid as always! this the 4th time youve done this review now??lol anyways still great to watch
Haha this is the 3rd one! Feel inclined to do one every year because of all the updates.
Cya around 👊
i came back to this game after 2019. i know play the summit every week with my friends
After watching ur video till the end. It makes me wanna buy this game ...like right now ! Loved ur take on this beautiful title.
I was not expecting someone to say good things about this game omg
as one of the top players i see everyday only bad feedback about the game so i forget a lot the most simple things
your video made me remember that i am not playing a trash game, thanks
Depends...the cars all feel samey...you want a good arcade racer...get grid legends or driveclub instead....
@@remarkableputter6622 No, i prefere the crew 2
Maybe im weird but this is my choice
Another downside to this game: No Offline Mode, so if you have bad internet, don't buy it.
This is the only reason I have not bought the game. Its a shame I can't play it offline.
Because of your vid I decided to buy this game via Steam 80% off this past weekend. Loved your presentation on this!
Bought the game a couple of days ago and I’m enjoying every part of it
Need an answer soon, please. If you were to crash your car, is there visual damage to the car?
yes there is.
@@E39Kai tysm
Someone said enthusia emulated to 4k with a wheel set up was a dream set up; but then they'd only be missing out on this goldmine of a game. I've been playing it for only three days now and I love it.
Yeah I just got it and I like it so far. I might buy the pass or whatever to get a faster car, any suggestions?
Assetto Corsa is where it's at, man. Them mods do some amazing things with it, check for some videos, they completely change the game!
@@michaelJones_1800 I would get the bugatti chiron ss 300+, I think that one, the la voture niore and the chiron carbon(you can win this one at icon 1000) can do at least 300 or more. But the chiron ss can do 300 stock!
2:56 next gen versions are coming in july!! There’s going to be lots of changes.
4:27 LOL the backgroud. What is this, incursion, dr Strange?
I'm new like 2 weeks old usually play gran turismo but I love the open world on the crew 2
I bought it on sale a few months ago and still it doesn't cease to amaze me grinding doesn't take up a whole lot of time and just driving around wherever you want is just great
Just bought the deluxe edition for $8.99
Thank you, really informative video.
Very welcome! Hope it was what you were looking for!
I very much appreciate such re-reviews years after launch.
Great to hear!
To be honest, this game is a gem. I got it at launch and stopped playing it. Since its launch it has fallen off in popularity quite a bit. I went back the other day and was extremely impressed. I have no idea why I stopped playing such an awesome and cool game!
If you got it at launch, depending on when you put it down, you wouldn't have known about upgrades such as the Summits, or Motor Pass events.
Hey I been playing Forza 5 since release and its first ever time I played mmo type racer on PC. I was wondering if this game has solo farm/progression like Forza 5 where you can do seasonal championship vs A.I? Also does this game have agrigious lootbox system where most stuff is behind forced pay wall? Is game new player friendly ( those that are not lewis hamilton level skill)? Thank You
To confirm, this is not an online only game, correct? I can play it all solo without needing the PS+ subscription?
No, sadly it is online only. You will need PS+ subscription to play!
I remember I got this game when it first came out on steam and I absolutely feel in love with it. Literally played the game for like a whole week straight 😂
What a review man, sickest thing ive seen, makes me feel like i already played it lol, nice bro!!!! (quick question how long it takes to style your own car like M5 or RS6 in Forxa? Also Forza 5 or 4? and why?) :)
Cheers man! Sorry for the late reply. Doesn't take long to mod cars like an M5 to look how you want in Forza Horizon. Also very quick progression to afford such cars and the mods. Forza 5 for sure! Graphics are incredible, map is better and the playerbase is very good. Can't go wrong though!
@@AverageGameReviews Thanks boss!
For the future, I think it would be super sick if they made The Crew 3 and it was based in Europe so that we’d have to use planes and boats more because the cars are really what is played the most
No
Sounds like not a good idea
The crew motorfest just announced
@@SGVSOUTHSIDE I saw. It looks pretty cool, especially the Japan part
The problem I have with it is that no one plays it online anymore so it’s hard to play pvp
The pvp and online in general to me needs to be re done
@@idrip2153 and the drift mechanics cuz they’re ass
There's always someone playing online particularly since they brought out Story mode.
I wish they would add matchmaking for PvE
It might be time to revise your opinion with the 60fps update on PS5 and XSX
Great review! Did the graphics and performance update help much?
60fps on next gen consoles is a good upgrade! And visually yes there are some improvements but they are not huge! The Crew Motorfest is coming out in September with massively overhauled graphics. It looks amazing!
@@AverageGameReviews Great to know! And I will definitely be getting Motorfest!
I hope crew 3 will be going back to street racing... And have a map located somewhere else... Like in japan or something...
Im happy to get rid of planes and boats and stuff mabye even set in the 90s would be great
ua-cam.com/video/xF45nzjSq2E/v-deo.html
just picked this game up for just 1 euro! its a blast!
the crew 2 is 4 years old and getting updated, nfs heat in the other hand...
It's a big shame! That game had and has so much potential
Say what y want about Ubisoft but they do support there community
@@zanisgardening123- yea true
The Review 2
It's actually The Review 3
The Crew 2 is 7/10 for me, where are Forza is 9/10 for me. NFS HEAT is 3/10
Had it on stadia now got it on xbox, love it. 9/10
Only been playing it two weeks and it's really good and lots to do
Are you still playing it? I think to buy it, but don't is it really worth it..
Yeah it's worth it rally. f1 .touring cars. Planes and boat race's there is a lot to drive and the map is massive
@@jimmyexpelleddont buy it within a few years they will take the game down to sell their newer iteration.
I played this on PS4 a couple years ago and it stuttered bad since my console was pretty old
Bought it again today on PC, it'll be nice to actually play above 30 FPS and maxed out graphics 👌
So the headlights still don't work?
I see my Playstation Plus pass gonna come in handy🔥
Is this game getting a next gen update?
It will get a 60fps update for next gen later this year. There is possibility for other graphical upgrades too but we haven't heard much other than 60fps (which is confirmed)
@@AverageGameReviews ok ty for the info
Next gen update is next month I would start grinding now and enjoy the new weather effects and smooth frame rate next month
Does this game offer saving my favorite spots? Also, can i stop a game in a certain spot and continue next time i get back on game?
What do you mean by saving spots? And no, sadly you can't save your position on the map for the next time you play.
Which should i buy, gold edition or speciap edition ? Whats the differences ?
It's litteraly $10, there is no harm in trying it.
I'm relatively new to the PS4, having only bought one a year ago and I got this on PS Now the same time as I got all the NFS games on EA Play and I'm still playing this whereas I got pretty bored of the NFS games once I had finished the main stories. The fact that they release new content regularly means it never gets stale and there's always something to do or look forward to, plus you don't have to fork out $120 million dollars for a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe because you get one free in the game! Btw, this will be available on the new PS Plus Extra and Premium subscription services in June alongside The Crew.
The Crew 2 is my go to whenever I feel like catching a vibe while riding vehicles.
Get the gold adiition now! It's on sale rn for 9.55 after tax for the crew 2
6:10 Sure wish I could unlock that helicopter. Unfortunately, I really suck at keeping up with Wade in The Switch race. I'm using the Ford Focus RS 2010 RC Edition at lvl.160ish. Out of desperation, I decided to record/upload a video to show an example in hopes that somebody could help me. I would really like to pass this race before I start pulling my hair out.😔
Hey man! Looks like you're pretty close... Looks like you're struggling with grip in corners with the Ford - do you have traction control and similar settings on? (they need to be). A few less resets on the final section and you'll have him.
the only way to make it easier is to upgrade your cars.
I remember this being a rather annoying one for myself...
@AverageGameReviews I always equip the newest part as I collect them. That's why my Ford Focus is in the 160's. To be honest, this car sucks at drifting. There are times when the car won't turn at all, and it just continues forward. Other than that, Wade makes me eat his dust every time. I just can't keep up with him. I'm not really sure this Ford Focus is the right car for the race. But I'm not going to use the Enforcer, which is the other choice it gives me, cause that turns way too slowly. I really wish I could find a video that would show me a specific way to complete this race step-by-step. Like how to set up the vehicle and how to drive on the race track. Cause yeah, I'm thinking I need my hand held for this one.😔
There has to be a middle ground between cars handed out too generously (FH5) and the tedious grind for in game currency to buy cars (NFS Heat and the Crew 1).
If you think that FH5 has a way too generous handling, try playing it with a steering wheel, a way different experience.
@@tomasburian6550 I wasn't referring to handling. FH5 is too generous when it comes to currency to acquire cars. Every level up comes with a possibility of vehicle as a reward. I'm not complaining about that. Grinding for currency is tedious in the Crew 2 and NFS Heat.
@@tomasburian6550 how did you even come to that conclusion that he was talking about handling??
I just got gold edition for 15
7:57 since when you can turn boats in the air?
game physics, graphics, grinds, micros and always online SUCKs.
I don't support such a trend .
go to forza then and stop complaining kid😂
Crew 2 is a arcade racer you can do same shit with cars in fh
Is this game cross platform? Can I play with my friends on ps if I’m on pc
No, sadly it is not!
This game really is super sweet! I'm not a big gamer but I love this thing you got your flight simulator your boat simulator your car simulator your motorcycle simulator LOL just showed up being able to run around like you can in GTA v if they could match these two games together I think it would be the perfect ultimate game
This game is free on PlayStation Plus premium.
I love it, I would gladly pay for it.
Honestly the diversty blows me away I can't possibly be the only one that was sold by this one sentence:
It has planes!
This game is huge. It is pretty insane when you think about it!
@@AverageGameReviews its also really fun to fly up high and then shapeshift into a land/sea vehicle....i hoper there are fun stuff to do with the helicopter when i unlock it.
coming from someone who still actively plays it its an amazing game espicaly if you get it with friends youl have the time of your lives
Just bought this game on steam, haven't tried it yet, but it looks amazing,...
i am just happy that this thing still gets support so long later
