The upcoming open world racer borrows liberally from Forza Horizon’s playbook. Fast, shiny supercars, off-road oddities, and a barrage of vintage vehicles, all driven by trendy millennials – as is presented in the game’s intro – overshadow what is an experience featuring numerous points of differentiation.
This feature attempts to dissect those differences; to highlight what makes The Crew Motorfest stand out from what appears at surface level a carbon copy of Playground Games’ established formula.
The question is: will The Crew Motorfest surpass Forza Horizon as the champion of open world racing? Well, chances are it cannot due to its derivativeness, but it’s an exceptional looking game all the same, with enough here to keep motorsport fans happy at least until the next Forza Horizon instalment.
