Hands-on with Ubisoft’s The Crew: Calling All Units

Ubisoft showed off the new downloadable content (DLC) for its open world driving game, The Crew. In this case, your job is to try to get away from the cops or to try to catch the bad guys.

If you’re the cops, you have to pull close behind the bad guys and stay there for seven seconds. If you do that, you complete the arrest. You can call in a helicopter to help you, but you have to watch out for flash bangs dropped by the criminals. If you fall too far behind, you can hit a reset button that puts you reasonably close to your target so you can keep trying.
