RacingOpen WorldArcadeCo-op
O'ahu as a motor festival: themed playlists hand you vintage Porsches, drift missiles, planes and powerboats across one Hawaiian island dense with volcano roads and beach sprints. Motorfest is Ubisoft's answer to Horizon - smaller, curated, and confident enough to make curation the point.
Similar-game research
The Crew Motorfest turns driving into a travel show: Hawaiian roads lead into themed playlists, with sports cars, drifters, planes, and powerboats taking turns. These recommendations keep its pleasure in open maps or easy motion, but some tighten it into night street chases while others expand it into a freer road trip.

Need for Speed™ Heat
RacingArcadeOpen WorldPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Legal daytime races earn cash, risky night races earn Rep, and garage customization directly affects whether you escape the next pursuit. It suits anyone who enjoys constantly driving, changing cars, and learning a city map by feel.
- Choose it when
- Choose it when the car culture of Motorfest is what you enjoy most, but you want racing and customization to carry more street-level risk.
- But
- Palm City is a compact street stage built around police heat, neon rain, and customization. There are no planes or powerboats, and no sightseeing playlist structure; every night run adds the question of whether you will get home safely.
Forza Horizon 5
RacingOpen WorldArcadePublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Mexico's hills, desert, and towns constantly offer a reason to take one more jump, run one more event, or try one more car. More than 500 vehicles and very approachable handling create the same ability to drive out casually and stay for hours.
- Choose it when
- It is the safest next stop when you want more land vehicles, more challenges found on a whim, and handling that feels good on a controller.
- But
- Horizon 5 is a broad playground for free roaming rather than a Hawaiian show organized around themed playlists. It does not switch you into planes and powerboats; cars and terrain are the real stars.
Burnout™ Paradise Remastered
RacingArcadeOpen WorldPublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- Hold the throttle, drift through a corner, smash a barrier, then turn around anywhere in the city for the next event: its speed and open-map freedom still need very little explanation.
- Choose it when
- Take it when you want a break from tuning and longer routes and simply want to go fast, crash beautifully, and restart immediately.
- But
- It has none of Motorfest's modern car collection, playlist structure, or travel scenery. Crashes, takedowns, and exaggerated stunts are the point; handling is more arcade-like and the world feels built to cause spectacular accidents.
The Crew™ 2
RacingOpen WorldArcadePublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- If Motorfest's best idea for you is switching from a car to a plane or powerboat and moving from one terrain to another, The Crew 2 is the most direct continuation. It spreads that urge to see somewhere far away across a scaled-down United States.
- Choose it when
- Stay with it when you want to keep multi-vehicle switching and care more about long crossings and regional variety than tightly curated activities.
- But
- Its map is larger and more like a cross-country road trip, but its presentation is less focused and polished than Motorfest's. The content rhythm and driving detail feel closer to an older generation than to a dense Hawaiian island.
LEGO® 2K Drive
RacingArcadeCutePublic similarity
- Why it's similar
- The pleasure of changing vehicles between road, off-road, and water remains, except everything becomes a LEGO toy. You can even build a car brick by brick in the garage before taking it into bright open areas for races.
- Choose it when
- It is better when you want to drive with family or children, or would rather build a strange vehicle of your own than study brands and performance.
- But
- Driving sits closer to a kart racer, with a much lighter tone and no real-car collecting appeal. Switching vehicles is a playful response to terrain, not Motorfest's separate experiences of planes, powerboats, and road cars.
