Still, this rockier setting doesn't mean Carbon will completely abandon the free-roaming, urban racing backdrop of the last couple editions. 'I think you'll find that Need For Speed Carbon has been able to truly capture the emotional experience of racing on the edge.' Expect to get a little emotional during the all-new Canyon Duels-tense one-on-one races along craggy cliffs that promise to bring a fresh feel to this slightly stagnant series. EA is following their fearless lead with Need for Speed Carbon, where the real competition will be out on them hills.īut wasn't the downhill racing bit done to death before the more recent trend of urban street racing? 'Other downhill games failed to deliver a true sense of speed and danger on the canyon/mountain courses,' says Executive Producer Larry LaPierre. Thrill-seeking speed freaks have traded neon-lit city streets for treacherous mountain roads, making for a far more dangerous racing experience. (Sorry kids, The Pacifier's poop jokes are simply not cool.) People continue to drive quickly and furiously, though. For me, it is the multiplayer where this game really shines.Īpparently, in the real world-much like in video-games-inner-city street racing has become as played out as Vin Diesel's career. The duels, races and Challenge Series ensure that there is a ton for you to do outside of the career mode. It feels like a direct sequel to Most Wanted, but I do not think that is a bad thing at all.

You can also have a racing wingman that can help you which sounds kind of like a gimmick I know, but it actually works very, very well.įor Need For Speed: Carbon, EA really did not try and reinvent the wheel. I like many of the new additions to the game such as the crew system where you take over different areas of the maps from various gangs. The actual gameplay is what you would expect. So, if that is something you are into you are in for a treat here.

This is a game that went all-in with the customization aspect of making your dream car. While I am not a big tinkerer when it comes to cars. It is a very visually striking game and I like that a great deal. Everything is dark, but also super bright thanks to all the cool neon that is around. I love how Need For Speed: Carbon goes back to the kind of NFS Underground way of having the races take place at night. Nice And Smooth!īefore I get to the gameplay, I must say that the visuals are awesome. Still, I do think that the story is interesting enough, just not as spectacular as the previous game. The problem is Most Wanted was so great in terms of its story, it was always going to be hard to follow that up. The story is not the best, but it is decent enough to keep you invested.
