The Crew

The Crew is an online racing video game set in an open world environment made by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections and published by Ubisoft. The Single-Player campaign is 20 hours long, and entails infiltrating criminal groups with protagonist Alex Taylor, and is set in an open and persistent United States. It takes 45 minutes to drive from coast to coast in-game. Players can also participate in mini-games called skills that are peppered across the world and they are triggered when a player drives through them. These usually involve completing challenges such as weaving through gates and staying as close to a racing line for a period of time. Players' scores are automatically saved so friends can try and beat their scores, in similar fashion to how Autolog works in games of the Need for Speed franchise. Missions can be played alone, with friends, or with online co-op matchmaking. The multiplayer component also lets a maximum of eight players compete in races and other gametypes. There are no in-game loading screens or pauses, and players can also build cars with a tie-in app for iOS and Android.
