    Overall, the graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many praising their quality and improvements compared to previous titles. While some users feel the visuals may not fully represent the current generation, others highlight the impressive detail and enhancements, particularly in physics and environmental effects. Despite occasional glitches, the graphics contribute positively to the overall gaming experience.

    • “For a game this huge, I think they did a great job with graphics.”
    • “The graphics are great as is the gameplay!”
    • “This game is five-star quality in all areas from graphics to music and all in between.”
    • “I have two cons for this game: the graphics aren't really this gen.”
    • “Game is ok, problem is, once you go GTA everything seems meh as far as graphics and handling.”
    • “Notably improved physics and graphics.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is generally viewed as enjoyable but somewhat lacking in depth, with some players finding it annoying and disconnected from the open-world experience. While the main narrative is short, the game offers plenty of replay value through exploration and various missions, though some missions, like transport tasks, are considered silly. Overall, the story serves as a backdrop to a fun and engaging gameplay experience, despite criticisms regarding vehicle handling and narrative integration.

    • “This game is so much fun I can't seem to put the controller down. It has a lot of replay value and tons of cars to buy and modify. The great thing about the crew is once you complete the main story, there's still lots to do like exploring and finding landmarks that you can visit to earn extra XP. Great game, I'm glad I finally bought it.”
    • “I am giving this 4 stars because I really like the game. The instructions on how to get the monster trucks and motorcycles are not very clear, and also because PSN is required just to play. But otherwise, I would recommend this to any car-game enthusiast because there are missions to do, races, and a lot of cool stuff to experience in this game.”
    • “Nice story, but poor car handling. You feel like you are driving on ice all the time. The vehicles are soulless; let's hope the next edition is better.”
    • “Story is actually quite annoying.”
    • “[Bland story; the narrative does not tie in with the open world aspects of the game.]”
    • “Need missions - transport/taxi missions seem silly, but it's an open world map, and people want to cruise on it and make some money doing so.”
  • gameplay
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its extensive hours of free-roaming fun and engaging mechanics, though it requires a constant internet connection. While the core concept of exploring with a motorbike is appealing, reviewers suggest that future expansions should introduce more events and innovative gameplay elements to enhance the experience.

    • “Awesome game, loads of hours of gameplay, free roaming. The downside is that it always needs an internet connection to play.”
    • “There's a lot of potential embedded in the idea of getting a superb motorbike to travel from coast to coast and see the sights from a better vantage point than a car can offer, but in the future, the crew needs to get expansions that add a little more regarding events and innovative mechanics.”
    • “There's a lot of potential embedded in the idea of getting a superb motorbike to travel from coast to coast and see the sights from a better vantage point than a car can offer, but in the future, the developers need to introduce expansions that add more events and innovative mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
    • “While the concept is intriguing, the execution falls flat due to clunky controls and a lack of variety in missions.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players highlight the game's high replayability due to its engaging gameplay, extensive car customization options, and the abundance of post-story content, such as exploration and landmark discovery, which keeps them invested long after completing the main narrative.

The great thing about the crew is that once you complete the main story, there's still lots to do, like exploring and finding landmarks that you can visit to earn extra XP.
