Release date: 2nd December If there's one genre that people point to when analysing just how much horsepower their newest machines have, it's racing. How shiny and well-realised any number of complex supercars can be portrayed across any number of games tends to get petrolheads in a twist for, well, forever really. Following Driveclub's pretty pants critical reception and total lack of in-depth customisation, those more in favour of things like the Burnout or the Need For Speed series can look to The Crew to deliver the thrills once again.The really amazing thing - if it holds up in the final release - is the seemingly-impossible undertaking of mapping out the entire middle-belt of the US; from San Francisco to New York and everywhere in between. So far it seems genuinely crazy that a developer could do such a thing, but therein lies the might of Ubisoft. If they can pull off a series of high-octane races both street and off-road across everywhere from Wall Street to the Golden Gate Bridge, then count us in.
