This charger features a bright backlit display with adjustable brightness, built in balancer with 5 different ports, AC/DC inputs and one of Racer’s Edge ‘Squid’ Ultimate Charging Adapters, all tucked away in a nice red aluminum case. Nestled in the compact, padded carrying case is RE’s red and black baby, the SureCharge 2010. Ok, so why the Pulp Fiction reference? Because I felt like Vincent the first time I opened the cool little Racer’s Edge case (unfortunately without the bright yellow light). Whatever is in the case is mesmorizing enough that Jules has to yell to get Vincent’s attention. Upon opening the briefcase, a bright yellow light shines out and illuminates the surroundings, including Vincent. How many people have seen the movie Pulp Fiction? If you have, I’m sure you remember the part where Jules and Vincent (played by Samuel L Jackson and John Travolta, respectively) visit the young kids looking for a briefcase. Upgrading a car essentially boils down to selecting a new component with the highest number, which doesn’t instil a huge amount of interest, although might be preferable for casual players who just want their cars to go a bit faster.Ok, trivia. There’s a loot-based upgrade system players can tap into as well, although it’s very barebones and far from engaging. As such, you’re constantly driving new and exciting vehicles in actual races, with the cars you unlock permanently merely acting as a traversal vessel in the open world. However, while buying new cars might be a slow process, this is rarely a problem as The Crew Motorfest’s fictional festival constantly ‘loans’ you new cars for each playlist. It’s a far cry from the Forza Horizon games which are known for throwing new McLaren’s and Ferrari’s at you at every conceivable opportunity. For example, it will always take you upwards of an hour to complete any single playlist, if not longer. New cars are rewarded after completing a playlist, but again, this is a relatively slow pace. Currency is accrued at a snail's pace, with even the most basic of cars locked behind quite a large paywall.Įven after completing several playlists, you’re still a long way away from being able to afford any car of decent speed and value. The speed at which you progress through The Crew Motorfest remained a huge sticking point while playing. And of course, credits are rewarded for doing pretty much anything in the world of The Crew Motorfest. The reward for completing a full playlist is a unique car to add to your garage, so there’s always something to work towards. There was never any noticeable rubber banding or unfair finishes in our time with The Crew Motorfest. This increases your opponent's aggressiveness but never felt arbitrary just yet. There’s variety in the races, too - constantly offering up new objectives to complete, whether it be coming first in a one-on-one duel race, or placing top three among a pack of other feisty racers.īy default, your opponents are likely to be quite easy to beat, but the game is quick to offer a difficulty bump if it finds you winning far too easily. It’s truly a celebration of all forms of motorsport, even going so far as to include several officially licenced Red Bull Formula 1 cars to race both in the open world and on closed-off tracks. Races in The Crew Motorfest are split up into playlists, each of which has around ten races with a specific theme.Įvery playlist has some fantastic variety, pinballing you between Japanese street races and bombing it through the jungle brush in American muscle cars. Of course, perhaps the most important part of a racing game is the routes you’ll actually be racing on. Both categories mostly consist of dull point-to-point races, and the handling mechanics are exceptionally barebones compared to the rip-roaring fantasy of treading tarmac. Sadly, these asides aren’t worth dedicating too much time to. Of course, The Crew Motorsport hasn’t totally forgotten about its roots, with races also taking place in the sky and on the water, too. However, that also includes the likes of motorboats and planes, with several variants of the same car in some categories. In total, there are well over 600 vehicles to get behind the wheel. Those cars you inhabit are recreated in stunning detail, with the vast majority of the garage all licenced by official car manufacturers. Filled with colour, impressive foliage, and superb lighting, exploring this landscape at speeds exceeding 150mph is always exhilarating, never a chore. You’re dropped onto the island of Hawaii, a truly stunning landscape that’s built in an upgraded version of Ubisoft Ivory Tower’s engine. The Crew Motorfest starts out extremely strong.
