Disliked:
The plane controls are horrible.
Sessions only have a max of 8 players and yet can't find one with more than 4. My friend is being disconnected from me all the time.
Some challenges.
Forza-a-like game.
Drifting.
Parts.
Aggressive AI opponents
Same car, too many "editions".

Liked:
Collectibles!
Driving around
Some challenges.
Easier to make money.
Removed jetsprint/hovercraft/air races/aerobatics

The map isn't that bad.

Silly stuff:
I still think they should remove "the crew" from the title. How can you be in a crew in separate servers? Can't play in a crew like this. Also no Tesla Cybertruck, No Fiat Uno, No SEAT Marbella, No Citroen 2CV or Mehari. Yet now own several GTR, Nismos, Jeeps, Buicks... same car "different editions"... Farmville sindrome? Since The Crew 2 is in US, why didn't they added this to it? If R* added areas in their game...
Too many things broken... will they fix all with offline version?-

EDIT: even after the update this "game" is still crap. A demolition race with a 4 vs 2 players. fair? Someone speeding more than you on demolition race? Why not. Fair perf? Does it work? Sadly this crap have protected achievements or it would be uninstalled long ago.

Well some bugs, no more festivals, but there is still people playing it.
My main problems with this game is with the "AI" (if we can call it that) cheating and agressive, the "locked cars" behind the stupid backstage pass (it would take me a year to get all cars well beyond the game being delisted), the looooong wait for some online modes to work (cross platform/long timeouts?) and the terrible UI from the best (yuck) UI maker.
Added this to the "never to be played again" list.

Well a game this old and better than recycle from the ashes!
Some zones are simple corridors but still... no recycle of maps!
What is the lenght of the chain?

Totally unreliable game. Human Fall Flat is so much better....

Best Res I've played. Actually I have not played the other Res games, so go figure.
Lots of grind to buy all upgrades to a single weapon.
Excelent movement system (not really.. Well it's a PS3 game...)
Could say more but I believe there are better reviews...

More of the same of v1, only thing good is there are new maps. Same graphics feels like a DLC for v1.
The grind is horrible and the RNG is not fair to me. While my friend have 300 power weapons, I only get 200 power weapons.
Fatfish is doing things in the easy way making DLCs from maps from V1.
Not a game for me, got bored of it really fast and the skulls event made it worse.
There are people who like it, like my friend, but again, not for me. V1 was more fun.

If you like Snowrunner... it's more of the same. Yet it's still bugged.
The Derry "not so" Special, for me, is a big of disappointment, I did better with a Voron AE/Azov with a water tank and a water trailer since you can't attach a trailer to the Derry "not so" Special... fast 3800 L vs slow 2200 L.
There are no fuel stations on the second map so you need to bring lots of fuel trailers to leave them on some passing points.
The firefighting is just getting water to some points (1L equals 1 pt of cargo delivered) and seems that the Derry, sometimes gets bugged out and delivers more than 2200 L, almost infinite water. Putting out the fires does not change a thing on the map nor the orange filter at night will go away.
Don't move full water trailers between maps as then will respawn empty.
Water booms you help rebuild on tasks don't have water, on the second map I only had water on towers 3 and 4. Boom 5, 6 and 7 had no water.
Still can't believe there is NO rescuing a broken P12 on this season!
Tried the Ziks 566A on the mountain up trial and tipped it 3 times... very unstable.

Overall a fun map!

I liked it but... fell short, rushed ending, kind of repetitive always solving problems for others (not to mention the 95 repetitive merlin trials...), some side quests are... why...
Flying in the broom is nice (the hippogriff is harder to control and the Graphorn is too big in some areas), too much collectibles (who is going to use all wand handles and conjure all decorations??) making your level up very dependable on them, the floo fast travel is also nice with lot's of locations to go to and you don't even need to be near one.
Hogwarts looks very detailed but I did not find the room with the revolving stairs.
For a RPG it's sad you can't turn on the evil side even being on Slytherin House (you can't Avada Kedavra on non-enemy NPCs).

Cheers!

A wee better than MudRunner or SpinTires. At least it's not always wood. Expect bad roads if there is any at all.
Some official cheat vehicles: Ziks! Rarely tip over unlike best truck of them all: Bandid!
Mastodon is slow but keeps going as this game keeps getting new maps from Saber.
Stiill enjoying this game. New Saber maps are nice and the community keps making nice mods.
Still not dead!

Story line (if it can be called that) is short, very short and after that, it's PVP. PVP only.
It's a NO for me.
