2.0 out of 5 stars Career too short, Handling too sloppy, Rental at best!, November 7, 2006
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I simply wish to echo the previous users post. The career mode is far too short. NFSMW took quite a bit to complete, but this one has you going "what just happened"?

I too, must complain about the absurd handling in this game. The best example of this that I have seen so far is in the challenge series. Complete the first series in Bronze and Silver and you will be left with a Gold version. This involves using a Corvette Z06 with handling that is outrageous enough to justify a lawsuit by GM.

I also, must echo the crew problems. These guys get in the way more than help you from my experience. If you don't listen and actually buy the game,try to lead and hope they stay away from you.

Visually the game is no better than NFSMW and the gameplay is significantly worse. Some game makers take the time to actually drive and test these cars to ensure accuracy in their performance ability and physics. These guys scooted Hot Wheels accross the floor and observed handling using this method.

All in all, my expectations were high and the game turned out to be lame.

5.0 out of 5 stars Arcade racing at it's best, January 1, 2007
By A. C. Ege/Acedoh "acedoh" (Stockton, CA USA) - See all my reviews
  
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I first experienced this game by trying the demo. After that I was sold. The NFS games have had their ups and downs over the years. The racing storyline seems to change on a yearly basis keeping the concept fresh. With Carbon you are a brash racer who is coming back to his old haunts. Now it's up to you to race others in non stop action. I was in awe playing this game realizing how wonderful the graphics were. They really bring the environments alive as you are able to see how long they spent creating these wonderful environments. The excitement that comes from this game is when you begin to realize that your in a nonstop world with the ability to find races anywhere in the city. There are numerous territories that are controlled by different racers and it's up to you to challenge those racers for the territory. Being succesful takes many steps as you have to compete in several races before you can challenge the leader of each racing group. That is where you get to have a pulse pounding race in the canyons. Avoiding hair raising turns that can have you swerving off a cliff. In this game you will experience the tried and true formula of the pursuit where the police will be on your tail and you can gain a wanted status. What's new to this game is the teammate formula where you are able to use the team mate to take out an opponent. The system works well for the most part and adds a great new addition into the NFS series. I would have to say overall this has been one of my favorite NFS games. If you enjoy great arcade racing give Carbon a try. You won't regret it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as NFS:MW, February 18, 2007
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought this game on PS2 before getting Xbox 360, and I'm greatful for that since I would probably waste 50 bucks for it.

First, I don't like the simple map which indicates nothing in the real racing road. I can barely find where am I during the persuit or free roaming.

Second, the graphic is way too dark, even though I liked the way it is at the beginning but I found it is hard to race during the dark eventually.

Third, the mountain drift is cool for sure, but you couldn't find most of them in regular basis for practice.

Fourth, you wouldn't want to make any mistake to buy a new car and get rid of the old ones because the re-play races gives nothing more than 1000.

Fifth, the movies in this one couldn't any worse, even though EA hired the same director who made the ones in NFS:MW to do the work.

Sum-up, huge disappointment compared with the MW, and I still play MW everyday to climb up the rap sheet. So, you'd better download the demo first, or even buy the PS2 version for test before wasting more than 50 on this. Hope the 11th would be better!
