A remnant of loyal enthusiasts have been singing its praises and anxiously awaiting its first substantial expansion: Wild Run. Controls were too loose for serious sim fans, dull and arbitrarily difficult missions hampered the pacing for the arcade thrill-seekers, visuals were bland, and server issues and a lack of community frustrated many who just wanted the giant social experience promised by labeling the game as “massively multiplayer.” Quietly, steadily, Ivory Tower and Ubisoft have spent the past 11 months patching, updating, and adding content to The Crew. I don’t think the world was quite ready for The Crew, and the experience didn’t exactly meet expectations. Recruit your friends or make new ones online to form a crew, and take to the streets together to wreck high-profile targets, or maybe just cruise from Boston to Las Vegas to do some sightseeing. The concept is fantastic: imagine an enormous, open-world “MMOCARPG.” The whole of the United States is yours to explore freely, and you’ll share the road with thousands of players as they explore, complete challenges, level up, and unlock upgrades for some of the most desirable and most powerful cars ever made.
Reviews ranged from “meh” to “average” with little variance. When The Crew made its debut last December, it did so with little fanfare.
