That said, the game is brighter and more vibrant than it was a year ago. Games like Forza and even Need for Speed for that matter simply look and play much better than The Crew. While these graphical upgrades certainly improve the overall look of the game and the addition of rain is unquestionably a nice feature, The Crew still lags behind some of the other heavy hitters in genre. _ “While the graphical upgrades and the addition of rain is unquestionably a nice feature, The Crew still lags behind some of the other heavy hitters in the genre.” This includes updated graphics, new lighting effects, redesigned areas adapted for all types of vehicles and the all-new weather system. Yet if you already own the game, you’re getting some nice enhancements. Now if you bought the retail version of “The Crew: Wild Run Edition” the base game, upgrades and additional content is all part of the package. One of the perks for hanging on to the game this past year, and really has nothing to do with the expansion, is when the Wild Run arrived all players of The Crew experienced a free update. While the expansion seemingly arrived out of nowhere, could it possibly make up for the disappointing base game? In some ways, it has. A year later The Crew has resurfaced with an expansion called The Crew: Wild Run. The Crew had plenty of potential and was hyped up to be a fusion of racing with RPG style upgrading but it fell well short of the finish line.
While racing around the expansive open world was a lot of fun, especially if you brought some friends or your crew, the connection issues and pay-to-advance micro transactions dampened an otherwise decent racing experience.
When The Crew touched down on the PS4 and Xbox One a little over a year ago, many were disappointed.
