| The Crew Motorfest (PS5) |
The Crew Motorfest is the newest installment of Ubisoft's The Crew franchise where new and returning players set sail to Hawaii, which is of course a US state not covered in The Crew 2.
The Motorfest is a celebration of car culture for everyone and you're invited to take part in this high-octane extravaganza where speed and power are the biggest fun factor to this celebration. Players take part in this Hawaiian escapade by tackling through Motorfest-sanctioned playlists where each theme tackles a certain car culture or challenge. From 60 years of the Porsche 911 to 60 years of Lamborghini, from battling against a group of street racers with Japanese sports cars to becoming a drift king, from exploring Hawaii to tackling crazy challenges set up by Donut Media, and above all, conquering the Alpha Grand Prix, there's so much you can do in Motorfest.
The fun doesn't stop there because Motorfest features a wide variety of challenges to take on after winning playlists where you can unlock outfits and vanity items to personalize your rides. You can also take on weekly and monthly challenges to unlock special items unattainable through normal gameplay as well as big money and Legend Points which you can use to improve your abilities such as improved pay rate, better loot quality, improved nitro refill, improved ability to drive through water, and so on. It's an ever-evolving world out there so make the most out of it.
Motorfest features a wide variety of vehicles from new and returning favorites, especially specially customized cars. From the off-road-ready Ford Bronco, the timeless classic Shelby Cobra, the fast and furious JZA80 Toyota Supra, to the rampaging performance of the all-new Lamborghini Revuelto, there's no fighting which vehicle is the favorite. Just like TC2, the fun is not limited to cars because you can ride on motorcycles, powerboats, and planes, meaning you can fully explore Hawaii by land, air, and sea, whichever floats your boat. You can take advantage of the Fast Fav feature to switch various vehicles off the bat while on the go.
Almost all vehicles can be tuned and personalized to suit your fancies. In tuning terms, you can collect tuning parts by clearing race events, completing feats, or opening hidden treasure boxes. Depending on the rarity, some parts not only boost performances but also grant special attributes as well. In personalization terms, you can style your ride with some wheels, bumpers, and interior colors, or even slap it with liveries as well. Great if you want to rack some votes at the car show.
Also, TC2 players can import most but not all of their hard-earned car collection to Motorfest, which is essential because there are some challenges that require your imported cars to take part in.
Although this installment is not as big as TC2, Motorfest is proof that The Crew is here to stay, and with so many exciting surprises in store for this game, there's no doubt it's one of the most addicting racing games of 2023. Once you play with it, you'll get hooked not just by the wonders of Hawaii but by the motoring challenges you can't get enough of, more than enough to curate yourself some wonderful adventures.
Enjoy your stay at Motorfest and Aloha!
