The Crew 2
Planes, ships, and automobiles
In 2014, after months of hype, The
Crew descended from on high.
Promising revolutionary open-world
gameplay and cutting edge racing
mechanics, The Crew was… pretty good! Right? It
was pretty good, right?
Okay, so we can all agree that something was
missing, and The Crew 2 might just have found
that certain something. The major gameplay
shake-ups include the addition of planes and boats
to the existing cars and, more excitingly, the ability
to instantly switch between the three on the fly.
Launch off a ramp in your hot rod, instantly
transmogrify into a soaring jet, then dive down
into a river, changing into a speedboat just in time
to start shredding waves. Why is this happening?
How? Who cares? Trust us, just roll with it, It’s
completely awesome.
Pulling back on the strong narrative focus of the
first Crew in favour of greater open-world freedom,
driving challenges, and online interactions is the
right move, and definitely serves the whole conceit
of a free-wheeling online driving game far better.
Maybe this isn’t one for racing purists, but it’s
definitely shaping up to be one hell of a fun ride.
Flight. Sail. You know.
