Some nice street racing, but this game is just too short.
It sounds really good, as well as I've seen images and trailers. So I thought that I should buy it now when I don't have anything to play. As I said, this game is just too short, and I actually mean too short. It took me only three days to finish this game off (did it yesterday). The story is quite alright. I like the flashback movies, they're in some nice graphics, but when you actually see the people in the game, there are some edges and bad details. The best parts in career mode I think is when those cops chase you, that rocks. It's fun because you have to put in your skills of driving in order to escape those 'fox tails'. The highest amount of cops I've had chasing me are 134; that was just great!
As well as one thing, they've taken away some visual and aftermarket stuff here in Carbon if you compare it with Underground 2; like neon lights and lamp editing. I've wanted to have those things back. But in Carbon, they've put in more vinyls.
The graphics are nice when you put them up to something like I did: 1280x1024 in resolution and High in details, as well as some other advanced settings in the video options. It's mainly the cars that have all those nice graphics, as it's their main focus. And the environment, but it's still low in details. But it's alright, what more do you actually want to see, right?
The sound is the best I think, it follows very good as the game moves on. Although I don't pay any attention to the music a lot, they're still ok.
Gameplay is the terrible part. I've only spent 14 hours to complete the career mode. I've still got the challenge mode to play, but that's another thing. And everything is so easy!
So I say that it's not quite worth it, unless you're a NFS fan/collector.
But still, I had some days of street racing.
