Actually, I wanted my first game do not buy, but then was driven to it by the positive reviews but to bring it to me. So far, I do not regret it. A car racing game MMO, was something that I had not yet played. I've always been a fan of Need for Speed and Co. and thought to myself I'll do here determines nothing wrong.
Featuring a USA map is completely successful and you really have to explore much distance and even more sights and besides still the challenges that you may have in the Department do with friends. I love it in any case a lot of fun. I would not say now that The Crew is a Vollzeititel and you can play it for hours, but have fun for 1-2 hours with friends, it is more than good.
The details of the different cars is also something that makes a lot of fun. Tune and pimp and to paint, everything to make the car's heart beat faster. Graphically makes The Department also produces what I play and it currently also high settings with an R9 290th
Ubisoft has once managed to launch without major problems a game. Ok, here and there, the servers were offline times, but I think it went quite well so far.
If you like fast cars and playing with mates, I can only recommend the game !!
Supplement 25.12.14
After I am now become Level 50 and have played for a while, I am afraid to put something down the standings. Describing the game as a MMO is an outright lie by Ubisoft. You can see when you are in the world always max. 7 other players. While there is PVP events, where you can then go to others, but it was indeed so touted, which is a an open world where you can see all the players. Also invite them to a Department is bugged. With a buddy I can form a crew and if I invite the others, both fly out.
So I would rather see it as a racing game with multiplayer, as an MMO.
