The Crew Motorfest : game map and gameplay info
Like its predecessors, The Crew Motorfest is based on the arcade gameplay which is the strength of the license. The fundamentals of the series will be well respected, since players will still be able to wander in a huge open world, between two races.
The great novelty of this third installment is that it will no longer take place (on a scale) throughout the United States. This time it’s the island of Oahu, located in Hawaiiwhich serves as the setting for the game. A rich paradise environment covering an area of 1,545km², and which is home to emblematic places such as Pearl Harbord and Honolulu.
Obviously, the scale will be smaller in The Crew Motorfest, but the playground offered will be varied enough to delight the community. So you can drive at top speed on beaches, through cities and dense forests, and even volcanoes. Extreme !
What’s going on in The Crew Motorfest ?
As its name suggests, the game takes place within the framework of a festival taking place around Car-culture. While walking around Hawaii and its surroundings, players will have the opportunity to participate in various activities :
- Exploration
- Collection
- Competition
- Customization
- Sharing social adventures in multiplayer
The game promises us a busy and regularly updated program, with a multitude of different scenarios and vehicles.
