Need for Speed: Carbon

Most Wanted hit the mark... what happened? So close to a great game. What's up EA?

Do not get me wrong... I love the Need for Speed Franchise... after playing Most Wanted more often than any game in recent memory... except maybe Halo or Half Live[s]... I was SO looking forward to this game.

Do not get me wrong - it's a good game. Just too short, and missing on the mark in a few key areas.

However... the canyon races in 1080i HD in first person perspective will give you goosebumps. Well Done here EA!

The city racing was good... but too easy. However the cops entering the race with you was really good touch.

Now... the cops... racing in the canyon... that would be sweet.
And being able to bump other drivers off in the canyon race... a plus.

But... Most Wanted did it better... on all counts except the canyon races.

EA... PLEASE contact us and asked us what we loved in the games to make the next one 10/10. !

  This game isn't much different than Most Wanted, but it has it's own unique aspects where it is worth buying again.
