The game was short but it felt like I was really in the game fighting over territories and how it's like a part 2 of need for speed most wanted.I think the game is cheap and really worth it.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The disc was a little scratched.....no big deal. About 20 mins into the game, it froze and had lines going through the picture. I'm praying I can have it resurfaced due to already buying it once.

Praise: The graphics are great.....again. I thought that the gameplay is similar Most Wanted, which is phenominal. It is a very fun racing game with a storyline as well as additional challenges. Added features in this game include the new "autosculpt" feature which gives you endless possibilities to the customization of your car. Criticism: As a big fan of Need for Speed Most wanted, and unfortunately I don't think that the story line of the new game was quite as interesting or gripping as the last. The Grand Theft auto (san andreas) theme of controlling gang territory was used, and during gameplay stopping what you're doing to "defend your territory" seems tedious. The sound effects also get kindof annoying, truthfully. The tires screech at every touch of the joystick and as always you can't get the car moving without laying down some rubber. Also, the amount of available cars in this game is limited, same as previous need for speed titles. OVERALL, if you're looking for a great racing game, need for speed Carbon is definately a candidate. The graphics and handling are amazing, but I do not find myself as engaged in this game as I did for Need for Speed: Most Wanted.Read full review
This game is exactly what you would expect from the EA Need For Speed series, which is both good and bad. If you're looking for a racing sim then get Project Gotham or Test Drive Unlimited to hold you over until Forza comes out. If you are looking for a fun, pretty and generally entertaining arcade racer for your 360 then this is your game. The story is a sequel to Need For Speed Most Wanted with a plot line that my eight year old son could figure out in about 30 seconds, but nobody plays these games for the story. The action is fast and fun and seems to be right on par with NFS Most Wanted. Just like in that game you have to claw your way up through the local network of street racers and the bosses. This time around they got rid of the drag races from the last game and have inserted a drifting style race instead. You'll most likely either love it or hate it but either way it's not essential to advancing the game. The visuals are a lot like Most Wanted except darker and sharpened up a little. It's a very pretty game on a nice big screen tv. It looks better than Most Wanted but only by a little. My personally favorite aspect to the game, besides running from the cops, is the ability to design and modify the cars. There are the usual modifications that one would expect out a game like this, but there is also an autosculpt feature which lets you do everything from control the dimensions of the wheels and tires to chop the top and everything else in between. For a wannabe car designer it's a lot of fun. This game isn't as long as NFS Most Wanted but it's every bit as fun. If you've played the Need For Speed series in the past and liked them then you won't be disappointed.Read full review
I found this to be a good game. What I liked about this game is it has a lot of options on what you can do in the game such as customizing your cars with cool looking vinyl’s, adding new parts to your cars to increase your performance, also many different choices of cars. You get three different choices of what kind of cars you want to start out with Tuner, Exotic, and Muscle. Tuner is mainly good for drift races but it is also good for almost all races depending what your car is customized with. Muscle is good for checkpoint races and sprints. Exotic is good for a lot of races but, I consider it mainly a showcase car. The story mode is fairly long and very interesting. This would be a good game for racing fans that enjoy many different types of races. Overall I would rate this game an 8 out of 10.Read full review
