When it comes down to which game I enjoy more, I'd have to pick Most Wanted. Its ultimately up to you though, Carbon can be fun. But for the most part if you havent played either, then MW will give you the most joy when playing it.

I enjoyed both, but would pick Carbon over Most Wanted. The reason I rate MW lower is because I got annoyed with the cheap way they extended the game getting the last few most wanted levels - requiring you to do ever longer pursuits and none of your previous attempts counted. So you might need to do a 40 minute pursuit to reach MW rank 6, then another 45 min pursuit to reach MW rank 5 and so on. That became a huge turn off for me with MW - whenever I sat down to play I was faced with needing to do another very long pursuit, and it just got boring and frustrating, and put me off wanting to play it any more

Neither, NFS lost its touch a long time ago. I prefer the Burnout series for racing any day over NFS, but if you want more realistic racing I am sure there are other games on PC which can beat NFS.

I perfer Most Wanted, but have you considered Burnout Paradise? I can asure you that you will quite enjoy Burnour abit more than the NFS games not unless you really really like the idea of cops chasing you.

Aren't you confusing the games? Carbon did have police pursuits after some races, but it was Most Wanted that required you to do 45 minute long pursuits - THOSE were boring as hell

This is more accurate, Avenger. I get extremely frustrated with police chases after a couple minutes -perhaps five- but being forced to carry on sometimes for longer then ten or twenty minutes...er, no thank you. Carbon is the way to go unless you are a police chase masochist.

I thought the pursuits were the best part of the game and there were a ton of pursuit breakers. Pursuit breakers seemed to be too spread out in carbon. The only pursuits that lasted 45 minutes is when you needed them that long to complete one of the bounty milestones. The pursuits in carbon just felt tacked on like the developer just decided to throw them in at the end. I never felt like they served any purpose. I can see though why if you weren't into the pursuits that carbon would have been your favorite.

I have just started playing Most Wanted, and 45 minute long pursuits are not very appealing.

Carbon. Now if you ask me, the NFS series has lost all steam with Hot Pursuit 2.

Most Wanted - in theory, this game comes closer to the "old" NFS than any other, however, I found it extremely disappointing. The cop chases are ridicolous, forced. The lenght, and the fact that you can knock down police cars like flies is... well... frustrating. Zero immerse.

Carbon however, I found fun. Has the same selection of cars, however, you are NOT forced to do police chases, you can just focus on the racing. And unlike UG2, the game ends before you get bored.

I think Carbon is more enjoyable.
