Cool racing game

This game is a cool follow up to the excellent Need For Speed Most Wanted. I really liked the muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger. There were some other cool cars too like the Audi R8 and the Nissan Skyline. The city isn't as easy to memorize as the previous title's cities. I did like the casino section of the city that looked like Las Vegas. The racing is pretty cool though. The drifting is back and there is new racing in canyons.In canyon racing you can't pass the other car but accumulate points for following the other car closely and once that is done then it's your turn to have the other car follow you and the points you accumulated get subtracted as the other car follows you. If you finish the second part of the race with postive points then you have completed the canyon race. This new form of racing makes this a very fun and fresh new form of racing. This is one of my favorite racing games.

It's So-So

I am a big time Need For Speed fan. I love the options that the game gives in general. Customization options have generally been great. Color, body kits, wheels and tires, spoilers, scoops. The car selections tends to be very nice too. Lambo's, Eclipse, BMW, etc. This game got really boring quickly though, very repetitive, and the graphics overall were sub-par compared to similar games in the genre. Online play did offer some replay value, but the game lost support so quickly, it was hard to find opponents. The game is cool, but I would wait for the next installment with some much needed improvements.

Amazing racing game

This game is a very fun racing game that very much brings up the classic Need For Speed feeling. At first, you may crash into walls over and over, and think "WHY did i buy this game? I've lost 10 races already!" But when you're pulling 360s and ramming cops off the road in a Lamborghini or Dodge Viper, you think "how could someone NOT like this game?!" With such awesome features like Autosculpt, which allows you to customize your car with personal indents on the hood, roof, and even a spoiler that either could scrape other cars as you drive, or be super skinny and fat, it's your decision. There's also Speedbreaker, which slows down time for you to weave through that six-car pileup to take the lead, or simply drift around the cops into a back alley for a photo finish at the end of a race. It gives the game a Fast and The Furious/The Matrix feel to it. This game has a fun "Crew" system as well. You hire people to be on your crew, blockers, drafters, and scouts. The one you choose could make or break the race for you. Some excel in sprints, some dominate the circuit, and others destroy the speed traps. This game is one i will be keeping and replaying for a long time, and i suggest you buy.

this game is very good, I only bought it cause i had dough and just wanted a game, wow a great buy and online is pretty good as well. If yout like go anywhere street action this is for you. The only thing is that they cheated in the cut scenes buy painting the faces of the actors to make thm look cgi but still well done. Good game.

Need for Speed Carbon was to be a great game, well, for me at least, and it disappointed me deeply. The new features in the game are for the most part not needed, and the cops? Barely any...... Hmph....... When's the new one coming out?

i thought this game was a steal at 20 $, but i was wrong. this was a waste of money. the story is typical, your a driver trying to be the best in the city. there is no traffic in this city, no people in the streets and the city is ALWAYS dark. this is one of the worst racing games i have ever played. if you want a great racing game, get midnight club los angeles. midnight club is 3 times better than this, better city, better gameplay, everything is better in midnight club l.a.
