Latest entry in “The Crew” series appears to borrows heavily from ‘Forza Horizon’ in effort to keep pace in open-world racing genre
Ubisoft’s racing title revolves around the concept of playlists. It’s a curated set of races focused on particular themes and they’re associated with distinct playstyles. With the Motorsports playlist, players race Formula 1 cars and they’ll have to worry about pit stop strategy as their tires wear down. If they don’t change them out, the rubber loses its grip and the vehicles turn squirrely.
The Vintage Garage playlist takes player in vehicles from the 1950s and beyond. What’s notable about this experience is that the vehicles start off and handle as they would stock. That means players won’t have GPS or other modern advancements that have now become standard. Even the music is era appropriate. As players move through the decades, the vehicles acquire features such as ABS, and they’ll gain more modern conveniences.
The Made in Japan playlist celebrates drifting, customization and other elements of the nation’s car culture. The race I checked out had me going through the mountains and drifting on the switchbacks while driving through the cityscape, the visuals were colored in neon. Meanwhile, the Lamborghini playlist zeroed on the supercars and gave players a history lesson on the brand.
In the sample race, I played a bit of the road experience, and it resembled something you would fine in “Forza Horizon.” The game even features different perspectives including a cockpit mode.LOOKING BETTER THAN PAST EFFORTS Beyond that, “The Crew Motorsport” will have a free drive and online competitive activities. Players can even import their collection from previous games. It will also have post-launch support comparable to previews efforts. If you’re curious to see what the experience is like, Ubisoft is holdingThe game looks better than past efforts, and it shows promise. Perhaps, it goes to show that bigger isn’t necessarily better, and that a smaller more focused game creates a better experience.
