We took to the streets of New York, and zoomed by Miami's palm trees, and now we're headed into Detroit in Ubisoft's upcoming giant-sized open world racing game, The Crew. While the Closed Beta doesn't feature all of the missions, it does give full access to the entirety of the United States, letting players explore each of the six main cities of New York, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
Out of the three cities I drove through so far, Detroit to me is by far the least interesting. That's not to say it's small by any means. I'd comparably, it's just slightly smaller than New York but bigger than Miami. Since Detroit is the Closed Beta's story hub, you'll notice that I get a call from the story NPC, telling me which event I should be hitting up next, but I was having way too much fun simply driving around. Secondly, you'll also notice the mini-challenges that can be accessed while driving. Two of the ones I encountered in Detroit tasked me with driving through gates successively and as fast as I can, and the other required me to slalom, though that one I chose to ignore.
