Need for Speed: Carbon Description

Need for Speed: Carbon takes you by the scruff of the neck and throws you straight into the world's most dangerous and ferocious form of street racing. With over 50 real-world licensed cars, including the Mazda RX-8, BMW M3 GTR Street, Dodge Viper SRT10 and Lamborghini Murcielago, there should enough to keep even the most jaded petrolhead happy. The game is the first in the series where you can build a crew and race in all-out urban warfare for your city against rival crews and opposing car classes. There are three different car classes to choose from - Tuner, American Muscle and Exotic. Need For Speed: Carbon uses an all-new physics model that makes each car handle and drive differently. You must risk life and limb in order to take over rival turfs, one street at a time. As the game progresses, the police will turn up the heat, forcing races to Carbon Canyon, which is on the outskirts of the city. Each member of your crew has unique skills that you can trigger by simply pressing a button. A Scout will lead you to shortcuts on the track and a Blocker will - you guessed it - block, which will hopefully slow down other racers. You can let your creative juices flow when designing your crew's cars with the new Autoscuplt car customisation tool that lets you design and morph your car in every way imaginable. It is also possible to tune every car to your heart's desire, which will no doubt lead to absolute mayhem on the roads. So, what are you waiting for? The race has just begun…

Overall the game is an improvement but things like the new Drift racing is terrible and the new ‘crews’ aren’t implemented well enough into the game. It looks gorgeous and sounds nearly flawless. Whatever you do don’t simply play it for ten minutes and hate it forever, you need to give the game a bit of time and once you’ve truly got into it you will see just how good and how damn addictive the new game is. Would I recommend it, well yes but I would probably get it cut price online as games like Gears of War and Call of Duty 3 have kinda overshadowed the games release.
