The Crew Motorfest Review
Ойындар
The Crew Motorfest reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X. Also available on PlayStation, Xbox One, and PC.
"It’s said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. LEGO has Mega Bloks. E.T. has Mac and Me. Now Forza Horizon has The Crew Motorfest. To be fair, Motorfest is a robust racer with a confident sense of style, a quality arcade handling model, and a long list of generally well-planned events right out of the box. However, the shift to a smaller map has seen it lose a part of its old identity, boats and aircraft feel like they’ve been sidelined, and some of its event Playlists work a lot better than others. Ultimately, The Crew Motorfest is a little more Ice Ice Baby and a little less Under Pressure. It’s a catchy enough copy, but it ain’t exactly back with a brand new invention."

There are only 7players limited in openworld and most of the time they dont near you. The game added some fake NPC act like human player. like when you sitting near a event there are some NPC dive into the event object and disapper. They are ghosted anyway so it still feel empty

To counter the fasttravel lock, drive with your car fast, switch with "2" to your airplane. Fly to the destionation in a couple seconds and switch back to your car when you're near. It will drop you down super fast due to the weight of the car and you're at your destination.

Great review! Graphics, driving physics, races all great. Agree that planes and boats are underdone in this game. Much preferred how The Crew 2 handled different types of races with their "disciplines" system. Grinding indeed tedious with micro transactions too prevalent. Overall though, quite a fun open world racer, 7/10 is about right.
Honestly can’t believe this franchise is still going

There is no Horizon on PS5. The Crew 2 was dead online on PC and XBOX, but this has crossplay so it is a win for it. But if you are not burned out by FH5 play horizon.
Can anyone tell me how to turn off that annoying "deploy" msg pop up
It’s a wait for a sale. They were on the cusp of something great but the effort that could have went to doing so went instead to the monetization.
Some say planes and boats don’t belong, but you NEED to have that stuff in Hawaii! It’s barely even a part of the game. Now the one thing I’d change is the ability to remove nitrous in singleplayer entirely. Using a wheel with 5/5 difficulty and the AI getting nitrous is challenging as hell. I’d love to remove nitrous from AI and focus on driving rather than when to use my boost

Having played crew 2, you don't need micro-transactions to enjoy the game You can easily grind races and unlock every classes of vehicles. The grinding part is the best thing about the crew series. IGN never complained how forza horzion 5 gave free Bugatti, lambo, wvwn before 10% completion( If you don't trust me, see your inbox in-game). Forza gives you everything at the beginning making it boring or uselsess to grind, unlike crew.
