The Crew 2

Come fly with me. Come drive with me. Come… boat with me?

We never thought we’d see a sequel to Ivory Tower’s ever-so-slightly forgettable arcade racer from 2014, much less find ourselves actually excited for one. But here we are in 2017, eagerly awaiting another round of open-world, co-op-friendly vehicular mayhem.

Rather than settling for a second outing that simply riffs on the RPG-lite features that were both a help and a hindrance to the original, The Crew 2 screeches onto Xbox One with an overhaul that places the onus firmly on having fun behind the wheel rather than pursuing the holy grail of realistic simulation. Simply driving isn’t enough for Ubisoft’s latest franchise – oh no, this time you can roam an open-USA in cars, planes and boats.
