Honestly, some of the 'Reviews in Progress' articles are very interesting, as they give you unpolished impressions that might not be in the final review.
"I'd grown to enjoy playing The Crew. After an opening so cringeworthy that I felt sorry for the virtual characters acting it out on screen, the plot (which centres on you being set up for the murder of your brother, the leader of the ‘510’ car gang) starts to take a back seat and allows the core driving experience to come to the fore. The Crew finally started to show why it probably didn't deserve the negativity around it, and then the servers failed following a Faction event.
I'd just wasted 20 minutes on a massive dirt race, fighting tooth and nail to gain a top three finish, being worried that I'd spend a large chunk of time only to crash out on the final bend and have to do it all again. It was tense, and my heart was beating fast as I boosted into second place seconds from the finish line.
"The Crew services are unavailable or you may have lost your connection," read the message on the screen as the game ripped me away from a glorious collection of rewards.
"Fuck this shit!," I declared to myself, my hand now slightly shaking from the stress. I took a picture to tweet about the incident, sad that a game I had been enjoying suddenly made me never want to play it ever again." http://www.videogamer.com/reviews/the_crew_review.html
Basically, I'm seeing a lot of "it was fun and then it wasn't" type comments.
