Game worked up until it would no longer read the disk on one specific race over and over again. Got another copy from a nearby game store and passed it without a freeze.

I would class this game as a must play although Need for Speed Carbon isn’t that different when compared to Underground or Most Wanted. It draws the two games’ elements together while adding a few new features. The graphical improvements are minor but welcome, such as the improved speed blurring which is more of a defined speed blur now. The musical tracks don’t quite live up to the same standard as the other games in the series as they’re quite easily forgettable, but on the upside there has been major improvements to the sounds of the car engines and the other racing sound effects. Likewise, the addition of crew members talking to you during the race can be both helpful and informative; if you haven’t already played Need for Speed Underground 2 and Most Wanted then give them a try; Underground 1 isn’t quite up to the same level and you aren’t missing much by skipping it. This isn’t a difficult game by any means, but it is good fun. The storyline is predictable, the FMVs can be annoying after a while, the new content is limited and the game could have been longer, but the good points of having a crew, the continuation of the quality of gameplay and the improved graphics and physics make it a good game. This game is sure to please die hard fans and new players alike, but may be a disappointing to those who expect a completely new game or much of a change from previous ventures.Read full review
NFS Carbon has its good points (3 styles of cars: Tuner, Exotic and Muscle) but it lacks some of the game points that NFS Most Wanted brought to the table. There are no real penalties for losing races, it's easy to elude the cops and it's very hard to earn any "extra" money for buying additional cars. Once you've won a race you have the option to run it again but it'll only be worth $500 if you win, this makes it tough to bankroll cash. The graphics are very nice but it would be better if some of the races were during the daylight hours install of "all dark, all the time". Career mode goes by much quicker than in NFS Most Wanted, I played last night for about 4 hours and I've alread completed about 20% of my career. Good game, just lacks a little of the character in Most Wanted. Still worth buying but expect for the novelty to wear off quick.Read full review
This is another one of those Electronic Arts Need for Speed Releases. This game has nice story, the videos in there are excellent quality. The only thing is that the graphics are not as good as expected. It is actually less graphic then the previous release. The cars in there are nice and hooked up. Races and handling are great. Great Game, Recommended!
