Okay so I've gotten my 360, I want to fix my need for speed.....like right NOW. Okay so I buy Need for Speed Most Wanted. Pop it in, get a hold of the control, and get hugely disappointed. Its nothing like Hot Pursuit. So can that one on Ebay, than hear they are coming up with Carbon, I'm like "WHOOOOOO" go out buy pop it in, DAME it sucks more than Most wanted. FOOOOOORZA, I'm like "YES THANK U GOD" I go out buy the game enjoy it for a month love the drawing section of it that took most of my time cause racing was very unforgiving. I know ppl love to race but being so realistic to the point were u get tapped in the back bumper online sends u flying side way into donut city got old very fast. A few month pass and I hear about this game in one of the Magazines. Surprisingly this game doesn't get much coverage at all, which is a real shame cause its a blast to play. Lets start with what the game does right. Lots of cars, 4 classes for racing. Head on racing, Derby, Death Derby, Stunts, and All is also available online at LAG free racing for up to 8 players. WICKED. I dreamt of 6 players on Nascar 05 and never got it even in Nascar 08 (thanks EA).
This game also does one thing very right, FUN. when the leader takes u out he will be taken out just like u did later on by a human player or by the environment. Game is well balanced that you keep racing till the end. Last place can still win it. So ur money is well spent on this game u will have LOTS and LOTS of fun.

Now the bad things. We would have loved a bit more of customization for the cars. I always think to myself if i have a Microsoft gaming system, and a Microsoft Windows PC, why not give me the option to import any type of skin I would like into the game?? Someone in the gaming industry must come up with this idea sooner or later on this system please. Forza would have been great with such an option in it instead of spending hours to make a picture on the cars. That is a + for Microsoft that they should focus on.
Another thing the game could have done is give the characters in the game voices and some personality to match the art work. I love the wallpaper in the loading screen but I get no reaction out of them when I pump them on the track, or after the race. Something that Road Rash did on PS1 years ago. I also would have love to make up my driver instead of getting the default from the game. Over all the game is GREAT. I would love for them to keep it the way it is and away from EA and their Burn Out games. This one here is great the way it is. The control is great, the graphic is great, car models with damage is amazing. Just keep it the way it is and add more tracks, more personality and maybe a few more speed ways with drafting would be great as well, and give us Flat out 3 Soon, we will all love it even more.
