Need for Speed: Carbon

The game is good - Tons of things u can fix with your car to maximize the performance for your likings, like auto-sculpting every part of your vehicle, and it's about 7 zones on each autosculpt. Fun races, and nice online-game play. What I hate about the career mode is the fact that it is was too short, if you're a decent racer you can complete your career in 4 hours.

What EA has to work on when releasing the next NFS is to make sure the game lasts, it's way too easy as well, so I really hope they'll increase the level of difficulty, maybe make an option when beginning career that asks for difficulty level.

But overall, great game and I recommend it. 8.0

Need for speed Carbon is among the best of the street racing games. The customization is highly realistic. Player can edit virtually everything on their car.

The only problem I have with the game is the drifting, its very unrealistic, its almost like trying to drift from the backseat, leaning with the car to turn.

Microsoft is getting ridiculous with the concept of buying car parts from the marketplace, same thing with the in game money concept, just plain stupid.

I swore that I would never turn to the dark side(PS3) but with some of these stupid concepts and game of the year worthy games on the PS3, I just may have too.

Check out my other reviews on Dead Rising and Fight Night Round 3.

McLane, the game isn't THAT bad. It wasn't a waste of money, granted it wasn't the best game, but there aren't that little cars, maybe 3 or 4 less than what MW had, but what they lack in cars they make up for in body kits and fully customizable body kits with the molding ability, that and you can import your own paint jobs too. The story line is great too. The game I think deserves more than what you give it credit for. Its the first of its kind, really to continue the story from Most Wanted. Its good game but I do suggest buying Most Wanted before Carbon if you've yet to play it, otherwise the storyline wont make as much sense. ALSO, they added true American Muscle to the game. FINALLY the 67' Charger makes it's well deserved appearance!

The NFS games are probably the best street racing games around. Over the years they have grown from basic racer to genre defining games...until this version.

EA are removing gameplay ideas and options, not adding them for the next generation. (Also see FIFA) You have less cars, less races, less bosses, less customisations and overall a lesser game from the previous game in the series...yet they charge more for it.

I really would not even bother with this unless you find it in a bargain bin somewhere for less than 10 notes.

If you have NFS: Most Wanted, stick with that, it a FAR better game. If you don't, buy it instead of this version. You can thank me later.

I thought overall the game was just a bit better than most wanted. The customization was better, allowing ride height to be changed and more performance customization details. Autosculpt was a great feature and also you can move the vinyls, skew, rotate, and change colors. I was disappointed though that many things in the game had to be unlocked by completing challenge series or reward cards, where in most wanted you had to beat bosses. Also, most wanted had a bigger focus on police pursuits which i thought was much better than carbon, where you didn't even need to engage in a single pursuit to finish the game (although sometimes you had no choice; they sometimes show up in the middle of races). The ending was rather weak, but I won't give it away.
