See what this intense, open-world racer offers in a detailed 7-minute walkthrough!

When we last saw The Crew, it was in a cinematic trailer at E3. The game was looking good, but did it play well? Ivory Tower and Ubisoft sets it straight in their Closed Beta Walkthrough. They cover Story Missions, Challenges, PvP, Dealers, Tuners, Free Roam and a handful of other elements.

The smooth transition from menu to street view is slick. The UI looks well-styled and useful. Customization looks detailed, but it's tough to tell how much variation there really is. Ultimately, The Crew is looking polished.

While the Closed Beta starts today, you can still try signing up; the beta only ends later this week on July 25th. If you don't hit the streets this week, you'll be let loose on November 11th.
