Our Review
Summary
Calling All Units is an enjoyable expansion for The Crew, but it lacks the variety and lasting appeal of Wild Run, and doesn’t offer returning players enough content to justify the steep asking price, while newcomers will find the restrictive progression system too frustrating. It’s a shame, because the police chase missions are entertaining and exhilarating for a while, particularly with groups of competitive online players, but the less said about the negligible narrative in the single player, the better. Where Ivory Tower takes the series next is anyone’s guess, but The Crew is starting to show its age – it could do with either a substantial map expansion or a sequel to reinvigorate the series and keep players invested.
