The events are gloriously diverse, and display a determination to avoid the obvious and the humdrum. Lesson clearly learned by the French publisher. Which contrasts with Steep, UbisoftвЂ™s similarly playground-style winter sports game, in which it wasnвЂ™t long before you ran out of events to compete in. So thereвЂ™s a bit of a mushroom effect: the deeper into the game you get, the more there is to do.

Plus, in the first three levels, new event types become available. There are five status levels вЂ“ Rookie, Popular, Famous, Star and Icon вЂ“ and whenever you hit a new one, loads of new events open up. Structurally, itвЂ™s simple enough: you must amass social media followers (and earn in-game cash} by winning events in order to increase your amount of fame and level up.

At the start, youвЂ™re introduced to the four families who, according to the gameвЂ™s alternate reality, are in charge of organising the USвЂ™s grassroots motor-based events, split into Pro Racing, Off-road, Freestyle and Street Racing. ItвЂ™s all about turning the whole of the USA into a giant automotive playground, in which you seek fame and fortune via your vehicular exploits. The game does have a general premise, however.

The first gameвЂ™s faults have been addressed pretty uncompromisingly, too, with The Crew 2 doing away with storyline altogether, and boasting a neat, tidy and intuitive interface. This time around, it not only has plenty of personality but even boasts a unique selling point, going beyond cars to bring boats and planes into the mix. Bravely, Ubisoft persisted with the franchise, and The Crew 2 suggests it was right to do so.
