The online multiplayer can be a little patchy at times as well, sometimes offering up a full server and other times stranding you in a ghost town, although the multitude of different trials and races against CPU opponents makes these moments not quite as bitter a pill to swallow. Sure, it may have some failings, such as failing to add a tangible reason for teaming up with a co-operative player, which makes finding a buddy amongst all the PvP contenders a bit of a headache.

Grinding for upgrades is surprisingly fun, and when you add a bevy of different race modes and a decent pool of online opponents, the game really comes into its own. The size is also quite admirable, taking nearly an hour to traverse from one coast to another, and I much preferred travelling manually from area to area rather than employing the quick travel mechanic, such is the character of this grandiose world. The variety of the different biomes ensures that thereвЂ™s always something new to explore, whether itвЂ™s rally driving through a redwood lined forest track, slipping and sliding through the snow or tearing through the streets of a sun drenched Miami. One of The CrewвЂ™s greatest triumphs is its open world, which could quite possibly be the best environment IвЂ™ve seen in a racing game to date. Of course, thatвЂ™s not a knock on the more technical racing games, simply my personal preference, and if you enjoy building up your dream car from the ground up then youвЂ™ll likely find the customisation options in The Crew to be a little lacklustre. The arcade-like quality of the racing is more in tune with my playing style than the stuffy and intricately detailed simulations offered by titles like Gran Turismo, with more time spent here actually racing and employing a liberal use of the nitro boost button rather than poring over the myriad of engine and body upgrades. It must be noted, however, that I hadnвЂ™t played the base game until it was released bundled with this expansion, so the many graphical and gameplay tweaks and subsequent patches probably mean that I was playing a very different game than the reviewers experienced at launch. Personally, despite the horrendous rubberbanding of your A.I opponents, I quite enjoyed the game, particularly how it tied the racing sections into an actual narrative, even if it was simply a cheesy crime tale along the lines of brainless film fodder like the Fast & Furious franchiseВ and Gone in 60 Seconds. The Crew was an open-world racing game that was released in 2014 to middling reviews.
