The Crew Motorfest starts from this maxim, being an essential work for any fan of driving arcades. A fun, varied title, full of content, customizable at all levels and visually superb. A title that improves the experience of past deliveries, offering us more freedom to play, new types of challenges and a much better, bigger online experience with more possibilities.

An open world racer that gets better the more you play it, revealing a wealth of high-quality racing in a beautiful, technically spectacular Hawaii. While it lacks originality, it is better than Forza Horizon 5 in several ways.

Comparisons to the Forza Horizon series are excruciatingly apparent in The Crew Motorfest, with it almost sharing more DNA with its competitor than its own predecessors. That said, the learnings are almost all for the better, with Ubisoft presenting an arcade racer that’s very close to being just as fun and comprehensive. If you’re an Xbox player, Forza Horizon remains top dog. However, The Crew Motorsport is undoubtedly one of the more pleasant surprises of 2023, cementing itself as the best arcade racer option for those on PlayStation.

The Crew Motorfest is the visually most beautiful racing game I've played so far - and also one the most fun. Hawaii is a beautiful racing playground and the playlists bring a lot of variety into the game.

Overall, "The Crew Motorfest" is a solid open-world racer. Above all, the arcade-heavy handling and the associated racing action are right. The engine sounds and the detailed graphics also make a lot of sense and create a good racing atmosphere. From a purely visual point of view, the game does not come close to its obvious role model "Forza Horizon", but offers an overall greater variety of games. The enemy behavior is also a bit better and more comprehensible - with a mixture of real AI performance and rather smaller rubber band effects, which mainly work to the advantage of the game on the lower difficulty levels. On the other hand, there is sometimes a lack of comfort. The included microtransactions and the always-on compulsion, which is simply superfluous for users of the solo offer, including the relatively quick expulsion in case of inactivity (at the time of testing), also cost additional points.

A pub band cover version of Forza Horizon 5, that despite a few unique ideas doesn't come close to the fun and variety of its inspiration.

The Crew Motorfest is the epidome of the crew series, with more than 600 vehicles to choose from, a vast open world filled with activities and opportunities to explore and a fresh take on a near perfect story mode with the addition of Playlists, the third entry seems to get things right this time around.

Ubisoft have copied Playground Games' homework and have made just enough changes, with a few spelling mistakes on the way, to make this a fun, rewarding experience.

The Crew Motorfest finally brings The Crew series to the top. It's been a long time since I've had this kind of pleasure while playing a racing game. I'm very happy that Ubisoft Ivory Tower has finally found a style they feel great about and are delivering great gameplay and atmosphere. I hope that Motorfest will be expanded over the years and provide us with many great racing adventures in the future.

With Motorfest, Ubisoft Ivory Tower takes The Crew to the next level. With a beautiful playground and countless ways to interact with it, Motorfest is some of the most fun you can have behind a wheel.

The Crew Motorfest is a robust racer with a confident sense of style, but its smaller map lacks life, its multiplayer isn't really worth the wait, and its omnipresent microtransaction opportunities are still tedious.

Gorgeous and full of varied events, it still isn’t nearly enough to help the The Crew Motorfest stand up to the other top racing dogs thanks to a laundry list of poor decisions, awkward vehicle handling, and a distinct failure to make use of some of the franchise’s strongest attributes.

The Crew Motorfest embodies the spirit of the Forza Horizon franchise in more ways than one, and though it doesn't ever quite touch the same heights, it does deliver what is easily the most enjoyable game in Ubisoft's open world racing franchise.

The Crew Motorfest is a game that appeals to everyone with the richness of the content it offers and the fact that players can progress according to their own tastes and still not get stuck in some obstacles.

Even with questionable aspects such as premium currency, The Crew Motorfest exudes style and flashes of quality, with a solid proposal that can connect with lovers of the most eclectic speed (as soon as you are in the mud as with single-seaters). Too bad that aspects such as poor multiplayer, or always online, disfigure the final result.

The Crew: Motorfest offers a good racing game experience on a platform like the PlayStation 5, where Forza is completely absent? Absolutely yes! But is it a better game compared to the competition? Absolutely not! I can only say that it's a nice Forza replica.

Motorfest boasts both its strengths and weaknesses, and the way you perceive it can range from an exceptionally engaging experience to a somewhat underwhelming one. Nevertheless, if you have a penchant for arcade racing, you're likely to find enjoyment in your time spent with it.
