Introduction | Races The Crew Guide
Last update: 21 October 2016
The developers of The Crew first aimed at fun and the ease of handling so, the driving model here is not too demanding. Of course, it is best to play using the gamepad or the steering wheel, but you will not lag behind, if you use the keyboard. The differences in driving each car are not so big to need tens of hours with each, to feel it. Also tracks are very similar to each other.
The driving model in The Crew is a far cry from being a simulation, nor does it resemble ones from the more involved racing games. The idea was to implement the arcade style and it seems to have been a good idea. The driving model allows you to brake while entering a turn, or while skidding, without major consequences. Also, there is no possibility of getting dirt on brakes, which would make your car skid. Also, you do not need to worry about the wear to the tires.
Still, don't take me wrong - it is not a negative rating to the game. It is a description of what you can and cannot do.
