![]() ![]() You can also do races from time to time but that’s just not as much fun. You get a large playground and you can score points from spins and jumps, with point tokens littered about the arena. My other new favourite mode is Monster Trucks! I did initially think I would be crushing Skodas and racing other trucks but no, it’s more a focus on scoring points from acrobatic manoeuvres. ![]() Thank God they let you respawn, otherwise I would change my mind. ![]() It’s just a brilliant idea and so well executed. It makes it pure carnage, and you also get the visual stimulant of scoring for spinning a car out or destroying them. They have jump pads, swing arms, guillotine bars, ramps and more. Then you have arenas, which are almost a character in themselves. It has added in powerups for bonus score, does more damage and you can repair damage. That’s cool but nothing compared to my new favourites: Demolition Derby and Monster Trucks.ĭemolition Derby is every bit as good as you would hope. You can go do air races and stunt runs with planes, or drive some touring cars, or even drive divorce-inducing hyper cars. Speaking of events, The Crew 2 has gone above and beyond with the events on offer. The Crew 2 does allow you to play how you want, and you can level up by just dicking about or doing events, and even then you can just do the events you like. For fast travel you have to jump to events and races. Of course, I say all this and The Crew 2 doesn’t even have a road system, which is a kick in the ass as I like pottering around filling in the roads. For those who have no idea what I’m on about, TDU has a mini game where you fill in roads as you drive on and discover them (Forza games have started using this) and, having them discovered allows you to find events and fast travel. I had to stop myself from constantly checking the map as I was so convinced I was playing TDU that I was trying to fill in the roads. While driving around, you can see other players “ghosts” in your world and you can interact with them, just like in TDU. Multiplayer is finally in the game and has its own series of events that change periodically which can be accessed from the menu. Even the race start countdown is reminiscent of TDU, with it showing exotic car shots as the timer counts down. Loot boxes are hidden around the world which are reminiscent of finding the car Ruins in TDU. It takes the DNA and essence of TDU by allowing you to just free roam the world, take on events as and how you want, by jumping straight in from the menu or driving there. The Test Drive Unlimited moniker is attached because of how the Crew 2 plays. Straight away it had a new energy about it, the game ran better (pc/Uplay), the menus felt more cohesive and I looked forward to jumping in. Fast forward to now and I decided to revisit The Crew 2 and see if anything has changed. Let’s face it, the initial launch of The Crew 2 was not good, I reviewed it and found it very lacklustre, not just with the exclusion of multiplayer but how bare-bones it all felt. ![]()
