Domain Name Com's - : Need for Speed Carbon

- Excellent game!!
I really liked this game. The Auto-sculpt feature is really nice. Over all I like all the Need for Speed games. This one especially caught my attention. From playing Need for Speed "Most wanted" I couldn't wait to see what they would come out with next. For those of you who like the customization portion of this game you will be amazed at how far you can take your creativity. For all us die hard, pedal to the floor racing enthusiast. This is definitly the game for you. Whatever your preference is I hope you enjoy this game.

- A Drag Down the NFS Strip
Overall, NFS: Carbon is average. I like the muscle car oldies and the canyon duels/drifts. I like the music. And I like the style of upgrading. But honestly, after NFS: Most Wanted, this game sucks. The creators try to introduce a storyline which I honestly didn't care about. They turn the game into a turf war, which isn't bad, but I got tired of reclaiming my turf after every other progresssive win. It was easy to beat the first group of cities and then all of a sudden, I was beaten down senselessly with a frustrating choices of cars to choose from.

Let's talk about the atmosphere. BORING! Nothing but sharp turns through a dull city, with the occassional stretch of straight-away here and there. The cop chases are the worst to date and despite the fact that it was a favorite NFS point for me since the original hot pursuit, I didn't bother wasting time on the chases. Most Wanted takes the cake for that. The addition of crew members is lame and they only get in the way. I suppose for a video game, the acting isn't bad, but again, the story was not all that engaging. I guess since the PS3 has taken over, game developers are giving up on trying and just filling the shelves, which is all this game represents. I swear, by the end of one system, the games are made lame on purpose to force gamers to buy the new system. What do you get in return? NFS: Carbon, a sad drag that doesn't put out the RPM's in the tradition of NFS games. Rent it first and you'll see what I mean.

- Where's the speed???
A new NFS game! YAY! A new city to explore! YAY! New cars to unlock and car classes!!! YAY! Canyon racing where you can go off the edge!!! YAY!

Then why do I give this a mediocre rating? I've played NFS games in one fashion or another since the PSX days. Back then, it was Gran Turismo or NFS. I didn't really get into this series until Underground. I enjoyed Underground 2. I had fun with Most Wanted. Carbon's fun but it's just not as fun as Underground 2 or MW. For sure, this game should be rented since it can be beaten in a very short amount of time.

The hype over this game was canyon racing. Sounds great on paper but in reality, you do MORE driving in the city and work your way up to canyon races. The boss 'fights' are in the canyon, yes. There are single sprint races in the canyon every now and then and I think there are a total of (maybe) 5 drift races in the canyon. Just 5. There are far more sprints and speed trap races than drifts and in the end, they are just races. They don't do anything for you except unlock items. Compare that to Underground 2 or Most Wanted, at least you were working for something.

The graphics are the same as MW and Underground 2. They definitely aren't next-gen (I have no idea how this looks on the PS3 or XBox but does it matter?) BUT at least they are consistent. EA created a new physics engines for the cars. That's nice (sarcasm). The driving engine between Underground 2 and Most Wanted was different too. And once again, EA changes things up and it's neither of the previous. Which is a bummer cuz I loved the video game-y control of Underground 2, tho I did get used to MW's driving.

The game map is broken into 4 cities, each with multiple regions. Take a majority of the races in the region, you and your crew own it. Pretty simple. There's a tiny bit of strategy involved cuz you want to unlock the engine upgrades over countless spoilers, wheels, and vinyls, right? Once you take over the regions in a city, it's a boss race (broken into 3 parts). Since there are only 4 cities, you only get 4 bosses. ONLY 4 bosses? Most Wanted had 15! Even Underground2 had more than that, didn't it?

The difficulty level seemed very odd to me. The 1st 3 cities were cake. By the time I got to the main boss's city (Darius, played by Tahmoh Pinkett (who plays Helo in BSG)), things suddenly got harder. No progression in difficulty, it just jumped. As well, the cop chases don't mean much and while Cross is in the game, the story doesn't wrap up!

There IS a story. It talks about why you left the city in Underground2 and why Cross is after you in Most Wanted. Neat, eh? It's all revealed when different crew members join up.

Here's the last tidbit that really bugged me about the game. When you play a racing game, you want the illusion of speed, yes??? If you don't want the feel of 110mph or 150 mph, go play Gran Turismo. The Undergrounds, Most Wanted, even Tokyo Extreme and Midnite Club(s), you get the feel of speed. You feel that 200+mph flying down the highways and whatnot. I NEVER got that sense of speed in the game nor do you ever get to experience it because there are literally no straight roads that the races take place on! (Ok, there's 1 track and it's the last boss race where you hit a highway and cruise for a few short seconds; my Evo and Skyline maxed out at 192mph but that's due to my tuning)

EA needs to come up with a better name for the last 4 NFS games. Find a way to make them all related because honestly, this CARBON game is just another chapter. It acts as a holdover to the next NFS game, I figure. I can recommend Underground2 and MW, but I can't easily recommend this. I suppose there are NO new Midnite Clubs or Tokyo Extremes to compete with and the GT series is for a different type of racer.

Rent it. Or wait till it's in the bargain bin. Or buy it cheap used.

- The best Need for Speed title yet!
I love this game. You should buy the collector's edition instead, because there are more cars available in it. It is a lot of fun, especially in the canyon races. This game is challenging at the end, but the story flows nicely. The only complaint I have is about the cars. I love drifting and tuners. Since they combined those two elements, they should have at least included a 240sx, whether it would be a S13, S14, S15. Overall this game is very well worth $40.00.

- You have GOT to be kidding???!!!
Please do NOT waste your time on this game. I have long believed that EA is all about the mighty dollar, and this game is the pinnacle of this thinking. I played it for about 3 days to give it a chance (and finish the game). It was placed on eBay soon after. I went back and played Need for Speed-Most Wanted again. That game was head and shoulders above this game. Please save your money and get something else. This game is horrible!!
