You Take the High Road, I’ll Take the Low Road The Crew 2 borrows a lot from the Horizon series, but its multi-vehicle mechanic offers a different type of gameplay. But just because it’s bigger doesn’t necessarily make it better. Even so, it’s still far bigger than Horizon 4 ’s rendition of Britain. The Crew 2 has a map encompassing the entirety of the continental USA, albeit in a condensed form. This mechanic was a major highlight in my review I’ve enjoyed it since the first few minutes of being let out into The Crew 2 ’s open-world. The fact that players can switch between these three vehicle types in a matter of seconds, just from the push of a button, emphasizes this. But, we must give credit where credit is due - The Crew 2 has its own gameplay style going for it.įeaturing not just land vehicles but also airplanes and boats, The Crew 2 has tried to add a whole new layer to the open-world racing genre with its multi-vehicle set-up. Well, honestly, the Ivory Tower development team behind The Crew 2 really did shamelessly rip that second element straight from the Horizon series. They also both cast the player as a rising star in a big media event centered around racing with the goal of gaining as much social media attention as possible. They’re both open-world, arcade racing games. On paper, Forza Horizon 4 and The Crew 2 are pretty similar to each other.

Here’s a ‘spoiler’: making a comparison between these two games isn’t really all that cut-and-dry. Now that I’ve actually played (and reviewed) both The Crew 2 and Forza Horizon 4, I can give my final thoughts on which racer truly “does it better”. I, myself, actually delved into this topic earlier this year before getting my hands on Horizon 4. Ever since Ubisoft first announced The Crew 2, comparisons were being drawn between it and the Horizon series. 2018 has been a good year for arcade-racer fans, as two high-profile open-world titles have stormed onto the scene: The Crew 2 and Forza Horizon 4.
