I picked up this recently and have been playing it on and off between GTA, Fallout 4, and WWE 2K16.
I've found it really fun, it don't take itself super serious, it's a arcade feel racer, a throw back to days of the old PS2. It has a open world map which is pretty big, basically the USA is your map. In a concept a lot like Test Drive Unlimited 2 and Fallout mixed together, you have to drive across the map to unlock areas. Once unlocked though, you can skip driving to fast travel.
The story wasn't anything special and was over pretty quick. However the car customization is nice, the vehicles is cool, the driving is a bit of old school fun, and the map is cool.
The Wild Run edition only goes for like $25, it includes added drag cars and monster truck options which are cool.
I think it was money well spent. If it was a full price $60 game (or $80 as most new games seem to be now, in Canada anyway), then no I probably wouldn't recommend it. But for $25 with DLC pack included, why not? It's quite a fun little game.

I'm on it quite often! Initially went with the general consensus and thought this game was average at best with aids vehicle handling but oif you actually take the time to get your own personal driving style figured out in the settings it's actually alot of fun.
The wild run DLC is one of the best if I'm honest, looks much better, new content is great, vehicle customization is ace and the range of specs available keeps me really occupied. Making money is piss easy about 1 hour doing pvp and your sorted. I'd consider myself a pretty old school arcade racer myself but in this game I value the fpv just as much as the chase camera. Lately more!
Most underrated racing game IMO.
What console you on? If ps4 add me up I'm usually on with a buddy of mine from red rum racing, drifting about or going on long ass faction races in New rides. (We've has our eye on a 4 hour race for ages lol)

I played it quite a lot before GTAV came on PC. It's a pretty well done arcade racer, though back when I played it the endgame was very grindy. Just doing certain races for money then doing certain events for parts. The longer races though we're very good fun, well over an hour in fully maxed perf cars too.

I'm not a fan of the handling but it seems like it'll be a decent tour around the country. It'll stand or fail on the strength of the mountain roads but I've not gotten that far yet. Still, considering I got 6 titles in the bundle compared to the 3 I thought I was buying it for, it's absolutely worth $2.50

So I pushed out west from the start to find a decent mountain pass and I'm only halfway there (after my first attempt got bogged down by getting stuck in unloaded map just west of Chicago...) but I think I'm going to just uninstall. The handling may improve sharply from the gummy mess I'm experiencing, but driving these cars feels like a chore rather than being any fun.

Did you turn down the assists? Full assist is pretty crap in The Crew.

On uplay I used an old spam bait username and email address because I didn't expect to ever use the service, but in the sake of making it easier to get a crew together, my uplay user ID is DasReverend
