The Crew Motorfest takes place in Hawaii.
It’s like trading in a stretch Hummer and going for a cool little convertible hatchback.
But those desires are, on occasion, better off banished.
It’s a nice homage to Need For Speed: Underground and Midnight Club, with their cornea-frying colours.
And then it’s gone.
There’s a disposable feel to each list, to the game as a whole.
The Hawaii Scenic Tour has you hurtling between fields of sugar cane and zipping along foamy coasts.
You are accompanied by a local guide, named Keola, who explains the region’s history and culture.
The Crew Motorfest could almost be an ode to absent-minded driving: drifting, in the truest sense.
Here your absence is down to a disconnect.
(Maybe the wind turbines really were a source of inspiration.)
The good news is, The Crew Motorfest is not without its merits.
If only it hadn’t already been said, several times over, by Playground Games.
That is the other reason that The Crew Motorfest loses some of its tropical punch.
The Crew Motorfest accessibility options
Option to increase subtitles size and background shading.
Includes colour blind options for people with deuteranopia, protanopia, and tritanopia.
All horizontal and vertical axes can be inverted.
There is an adaptive difficulty level, with the option to scale the opponent A.I.
to ones own liking.
High contrast HUD option is also available, along with racing line opacity.
There is plenty of room for wannabes, and plenty of fun to be had with The Crew Motorfest.
(More than I can say for my own Wi-Fi-potholed stretch of London.)
It may fall to that fate anyway.
