Need for Speed: Carbon (Xbox 360)

...Canyon Duels. Sound for Need For Speed Carbon is excellent, especially if you have a sub woofer placed on the floor like me. Revving the engine, shakes the sub woofer and your feet giving some real atmosphere. Carbon also benefits from atmospheric sound. For example, if you have 5.1 speakers and there is a car coming up behind you, that's how you hear it. In the back speakers. Unfortunately, I only have 2.1 so can't make full use of this. One downside ...
...EA doesn't have much taste in music. ++Playability and Enjoyment++ NFS: Carbon was my 2nd game Xbox 360 game, after I played Most Wanted on the PC. My 1st 360 game was PGR 3, which didn't attract me much due to the lack of action. I was so excited about Carbon that I even brought the collectors edition. The game is easy to get used to and play. It does get somewhat harder as your progress but not much. The controls stay the same with 1 added feature, ...

Review of Need for Speed: Carbon (Xbox 360)

...have so far been 14 Need for Speed installments over the last 13 years. Need for Speed (NFS) is a series of racing video games by Electronic Arts, released on most platforms The games consist mainly of racing with various cars on various tracks, and to some extent, include police pursuits in races. One of the most important parts of the game is now customization of your car Need for Speed: Carbon is the latest title for the Need for Speed series. ...
...Compared to the other need for speeds, I think this is my favourite, I’m not a great fan of driving games but I’m really hooked on this and its really good being able to customize the cars and I also like the cars that can be unlocked. Many magazines reviewed the game well. PC Format gave it a score of 78%, saying that it was "engaging enough," but lacked innovation. IGN gave it a 7.9 and 8.2 for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions respectively, ...

Review of Need for Speed: Carbon (Xbox 360)

The game starts out promising, after completing the last outing of NFS on the xbox 360 (most wanted) and having found that great I started out in good mind. Getting into it, the GUI had been changed, the game feels a lot "cooler" than it did before. The main game is 4 cities, win races in each and then defeat a boss and take over that area. Defend your areas and progress around the map defeating the crews. This feels like dynasty warriors a little ...
...mate idea which has been introduced is original and works very well which i didnt expect. You can call a crew member at any time during a race to give you a helping hand in one of four of their specialist areas. The multiplayer is everything you expect, ranks, xp, lag free most of the time and fun! My only agreivements I have with this software is it is simply too small. You will trawl through the single player very quickly! Its all over a little ...

Review of Need for Speed: Carbon (Xbox 360)

...owned any games from the Need for Speed range since the original Need for Speed came out on the X Box. My favourite part of the previous version was being able to modify everyday cars, such as the Peugeot 206 and the Ford Focus. Unfortunately, these run-of-the-mill cards are not featured in this version. The game play did not appear to have changed much, although the addition of a "time control" button, allowing you to manouveur out of tricky situation ...
...enjoyed the fact that the game was very easy to play, and after a few goes I was starting to win races. To its detriment, I found the game rather repetitive, very rarely would I come across a race which I could not win at the first attempt, and hardly ever found myself using the new "wingman" feature, which enables you to call in another driver to assist you by blocking opponents etc. The storyline was also rather repetitive, with occasional, predictable ...

Review of Need for Speed: Carbon (Xbox 360)

...be desired. Being a need for speed fan i was looking forward for the latest release however i was sorely dissapointed. The new wingman system is pointless and clutters the gameplay, your wingman is more often a hinderence than help. The police chases are extremely easy to get out of, the final boss races in the canyon are also easy, i only lost one race whilst playing the game. The car customisation is better than other's in the series, however the ...
