The Crew Motorfest – Review

The Crew Motorfest is an open-world racing game developed by Ivory Tower and published by Ubisoft. It is the third entry in The Crew series and was released on November 8, 2023 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

The game is set on the fictional island of Oahu, Hawaii, which has been scaled down to fit the game’s map. Players can choose from a variety of vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, boats, and planes, to race across the island in a variety of events.

The Crew Motorfest features a new physics engine that has been designed to provide a more realistic and engaging driving experience. The game also features a new damage model that allows for more realistic vehicle damage.

The game’s open-world is packed with activities for players to do. Players can race against other players or AI opponents, complete challenges, and explore the island. The game also features a variety of social features, such as clubs and crews, that allow players to team up with friends and compete against other players.

The Crew Motorfest is a solid open-world racing game that offers a lot of content for players to enjoy. The game’s physics engine is a significant improvement over the previous game, and the damage model is realistic and engaging. The game’s open-world is also well-designed and packed with activities for players to do.
