The Crew Motorfest review: "Better than Forza Horizon 5 in several ways" - Gamesradar

An open world racer that gets better the more you play it, revealing a wealth of high-quality racing in a beautiful, technically spectacular Hawaii. While it lacks originality, it is better than Forza Horizon 5 in several ways.

Looks great. It’s about time Forza Horizon series gets some good competition.

[porkChop]

Agreed. The closest thing was Test Drive Unlimited though that had been gone for so many years. Thankfully a new one is coming out though it's from a different team.

Congratulations Cara, you won this yrs award for the most annoying dialogue possible, holy shitballs how does QA not say she's aaf.

This beats the Floo Powder from HP, which was the same repeated line, holy hell.

[Relientk77]

You can't imagine how inconvenient travel was before I invented Floo Powder!

[yeahokwhatever]

hilarious that you think QA's opinion matters in such things. it SHOULD matter, but it doesnt. not at most companies anyways. most companies hire cheap QA and treat them like second class citizens.

It is really good!

Never liked the crew franchise but I have to say this one has me more interested.

[thesoftware730]

Lol what a headline.

[Ninver]

Thats a hell of a statement. Hope it'll scratch my nfs itch.

You can play the first 5h for free until 19th.
Just as I was about to complain that there are no demos anymore. Didn't like the other Crew games but this might be nice. I always liked the Forza Horizon Games but have no X-Box...

[GhostScholar]

I’ve played this game and it’s not better than horizon at all. The world and sense of exploration is no where near as good as horizon 5, 4, or 3

[Inverno]

Careful, last time a game got compared to Forza it got a whole studio shut down.

[Binarycode]

Nothing touches Motor-storm. Not now NOT EVER

[Storm23]

I would kill for a remaster of the MotorStorm games…

[Elit3Nick]

I love the Motorstorm series, but that's a very different genre of racing game. It's still a crime that Sony shut down Evolution, and I hope that someone tries to do a spiritual successor some day.

[Binarycode]

I know, I just can't let go.

[Reaper22_]

Not even close. Horizon is on another level.

[Elit3Nick]

I say this as someone who's been a Forza fan pretty much from the beginning and played every Horizon game at launch, but there's not much you need to do to beat Horizon 5 in certain aspects. The game has phenomenal graphics and physics, but it feels hollow given the lack of a proper story and structure, and you so much as sneeze and you end up with half a dozen new cars that you probably don't have time to really enjoy before the next batch is practically given to you.

The next Horizon game needs to slow down progression, tell a story to push you to experience all of the game's systems, and give a more structured event setup like in the first few entries. Right now you're really just plopped down into the game, and told to do whatever you want, and that doesn't make for an engaging experience for me, especially with how mechanical the AI feels.
