NFS Carbon, one of the best game I played. Cool graphic effect(cars, street and environment). On the Begining of this game, you can choose between 3 type of car: Muscle, Exotic, and Tuner. Choose wisely, because you will get started in different place with different type enemies. There're 4 Part of City to be conquer. When you started, You only can race in the part of city that depends on what car type you got into. After few races, the other 2 parts of city will be unlocked. the 4th part (on the top of map) will be unlocked when you've conquered 3 Cities below.

"THE SAFE HOUSE"
We have safe house! such a warehouse for me.lol. In this place we can customize our car, buying parts, hire a wingman(that very important to support you in the race and given bonus, automatically repair your damaged car, enabling some car's tuning, parts, etc).

Every parts of the cities have their own safe house, but all have same function and store all your cars. The different is only where you will be respawn to the street.


"CAR LOT"
This is the place we can buy an original new car (not modified one). Car's will be unlocked by doing more race, completing Chalange mode in main menu (most recommended to new players to do this first, to get more practice, more exp, more parts, more cars, etc. before playing the campaign.)

Cars that unlocked by the race will be depends on where is you doing race.


"WINGMAN"
If I'm not remembering there're 6 wingman available on Carbon, but only 3 can be hired at time (some ppl use cheat to get hire them all, but it's no fun).

Every Wingman have it's own ability and side effect (of course a good side effect)

Scout ability to find a shortcut on the street to get faster in our way.

Blocker ability to chasing and blocking our enemies.

Drafter ability to speed up our car (the wingman will lead in front of our car keep close and follow the blue trace effect of the wingman's car, the longer you drafting, the more speed you gain untill your car's max speed)

Warning: to use wingman ability we need to fullfill the wingman bar. When we use the ability, the bar will be decreased, but when we deactivate and speeding, it will increased by it self. but, we must make sure to get close with our wingman to get the advantage effectively.

Actually, in this game we can go to the racing event by driving our car, or we can just jump to the event using the map. (same with going to safe house or car lot).

so much features to be told to you, but it will be great if you learn and experiences by yourself, such as how to avoid when being chased by police using high turn and air jump through the unfinished bridge, using environment to slow them, blow a gas station, etc.

Music is one of the best part. The music will change based on the situation you met. NOS, bullet time, Canyon races, race wars, canyon boss races (each part has its own bos). And more experiences on the online play.

The minus point it get from me is:
When we playing Carbon, the time seems freezing in a night time. so sad. Anyway, if you have playing another series of need for speed, you will notice that some spot of the street in the cities were seen the same in the other NFS.

And I think the story lines rather simple. But, I don't care, it's fun to ride in the city with high speed (I have galardo with NOS,etc.) And police hardly catch me now. (I've been caught many times before, because the police using blockade and spike. I hate spike so much, it will blow our tires so it will be difficult to speeding).

I think that's all I can tell you. Experience your own cars. But don't do the same in the real life. ^^

Yeah, it's a decent racer and you can pick it up fairly cheaply now it's a few years old. Your review is a bit of a mess though and I can only guess that English isn't your first language; still, you're getting the message over at least.
