Ubisoft has been giving away some precious gems on its online game store, Uplay, for the past few months, as part of its in 30th anniversary. And in Ubisoft Club’s giveaway for September is The Crew.
The Crew is an online racing game featuring open world gameplay, spread across the United States. The game features both single-player and multi-player modes. The single-player campaign involves a good story with a lot of missions, as well as optional side-quests. The world map is massive and is not restricted in any way, making it truly open world.
Similarly there are no loading screens in the game, which makes for a nice experience. There are over a 100 cars, some of which are hidden, and can be found as rewards for exploring.
