Advantages: amazing graphics Disadvantages: very easy
I brought this game from virgin about a week ago and I was amazed with the graphics and the simplicity of the controls and the actual game play. The only problem with the game is now after one week I have completed 96% of the game and I now don't know what to do with it. It doesn't feel like I have played it that much and I have already nearly completed it. It is a really good game but it is very easy.
The dame has a very good story line and the ... ...anything away because it is a good story. My favourite part of the game s the career mode when you can pick which races you want to do. There are just a few different types of race including,
Checkpoint; which is where you have to race from checkpoint to checkpoint to beat the clock before it runs out. If the time runs out before you reach the checkpoint you lose but if you make it to the finish line before the time runs out then you win it is as ...

Advantages: Graphics are fantastic. Controls are easy to use. Disadvantages: Controls can need tweaking. Game could be longer.
...you are fan of the Need For Speed games. The new controls using the wii-mote are so much easier on your fingers and feel much more natural.
Those that weren't so good at racing games before can finally race against the best gamers and have a chance at winning.
The only disappointment I had with this game was how quickly you can get to the end. They have yet to match the depth of Need for Speed 2. If you want to purchase this game I would suggest ...

Quick review of Need for Speed Carbon (Wii) Review ofNeed for Speed Carbon (Wii)by

I have to admit - I didnt buy this game, just rented it! I found it looked very nice but the gameplay, in some parts, was awful and very hypersensitive, which made it extremely frustrating. To give it its due, some of the parts were great fun, especially speeding around empty cities at 200 mph, but some of them were frankly just annoying. If you're like me and don't like repeating the same thing over and over again, this is not the game for you, and I'm pretty sure there are better, playability-wise if not cosmetically, driving games around.

Advantages: Graphics are awesome & Soundtrack is brilliant! Disadvantages: controls are stupidly oversensitive!
What can I say about this game? Well I will start with the good points!
The graphics are amazing! Better than any other NFS game, the roads and cars look so real, you could really be driving! There are 6 control configurations to choose from, I used the default settings. You have to hold the controller sideways (like bicycle handlebars) and tilt it to turn. You can also use the direction buttons to turn sharper corners, or to push others out of ... ...to use, and you get a realistic motion blurring!
Now for the downside...
The tilt of the controller is oversensitive, especially on the Drift races. Losing control is toooooo easy, and regaining control is almost impossible!
My car spent most of its time embedding itself in walls and spinning out of control!
Not an easy game to play, but I am sure with a lot of patience, it will be an outstanding racing game. ...

This is a rather different addition to the Need For Speed series as none of the races have the ability to drive around the cities as none of the races are in the city or on the streets as the others. For people that adore the previous editions which... more

Need for Speed Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted and Carbon were all about illegal street racing and accumulating street cred. With Pro Street this has all gone out the window, Need for Speed has gone back to it's simulation roots in this... more
