The Crew Peter Brown - December 10, 2014
The Crew tries to be a driving game with something for everyone. You can team up with a group of friends for an epic road trip filled with fast-paced illegal activities, and seamlessly explore a massive map of the U.S., from the tip of Maine, all the way down to Miami, over to Los Angeles and back again, passing through other iconic cities along the way. Though it's true that all of this is possible, the experience isn't all that it's made out to be. The Crew tries to do a lot, and while it technically delivers the features it promises, it frequently stumbles over itself. There are brief moments of joy within, but just when you start to think the game's turned a corner, a bump in the road sends your joyride careening off course. When the best thing a racing game has going for it is the variety of environments it has to offer, you know something's amiss.
Need For Speed Rivals Jeff Gerstmann - November 24, 2013
You might not have noticed, but there aren't too many "arcade" racing games out there these days. A genre that once flourished has been reduced to a fairly small number of contenders, and with the Burnout franchise seemingly on the shelf, many of the minds behind it have been pumping out qualityNeed for Speed games for the last handful of years. This year's edition is Need for Speed Rivals, a game that attempts to drag everyone online in a cat-and-mouse, open-world take on a lot of the work that you may have seen in 2010's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Real-life vehicles armed with stun mines, turbo boost, and shockwaves may sound like a great time, and if you're in the exact right situation, it very much is. Unfortunately, the game doesn't do enough to bring players together, resulting in an online game that feels empty, cold, and lifeless.
Gran Turismo 7 Arash Fekri - May 23, 2015
Game developer Polyphony Digital says that its upcoming racing car videogame “Gran Turismo 7” will have an incredible difference compared to the current “Gran Turismo 6” in terms of high quality data when the game finally rolls out exclusively to the PlayStation 4 sometime next year or in 2017. The new gameplay trailer of “Gran Turismo 7” is expected to be rolled out by Polyphony Digital in the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2015 event to be held at theLos Angeles Convention Center on June 16 to 18, cites Youth Health Mag. It has been previously reported that the release date of “Gran Turismo 7” shall be pushed back to 2017 as Polyphony Digital apparently needs more time to perfect the game and really make it a much better final product than its predecessor.
