Need For Speed: Carbon is basically Most Wanted, but with the nighttime street racing vibe of the Underground games.

Almost everything that made Most Wanted so good is here. They have made some welcome changes, especially when it comes to progression. You no longer have to complete milestones to advance. Instead, they are now optional challenges that unlock additional rewards. The game is much shorter as a result, but I don't see that as a bad thing.

Gone is the Blacklist and instead you have to take over an entire city piece by piece. This was a bit of a trend in the mid-2000s. I think it works well here, but the Blacklist approach is superior.

They've also added crew members to help you during races. They add some welcome chatter, but I didn't find their abilities all that useful. Just pick a Scout class and let them win races for you when you're behind.

"Autosculpt" was another new feature they added, but to be honest I prefer the traditional customization options of the older NFS titles.

The big question remains which is better: Most Wanted or Carbon. I think it's a matter of taste. Most Wanted has a much better story and more intense police chases, while Carbon has a much better city and progression. I'd say for me personally, Most Wanted wins by a very narrow margin, just because of the story.

In any case, both games are worth your time and you cannot go wrong with either one.

I always come back to this game once and a while, checked out the PS3 version recently (I played PC before) and what annoyed me the most are the obnoxious save prompts, thing is, PS2 had autosave, PS3 somehow lacked it. lol. Ignoring all of these issues, game's real good, if you find it, try it out. Except for the Zeebo. We don't talk about the Zeebo port.

This game is so good when u don't got a bitch in ya ear telling you it's nasty

Most Wanted'ın hikayesinin devamını anlatan bu oyun da en iyi yarış oyunlarından bir tanesi. Kanyon yarışları da çok eğlenceli.

Devo dizer que me surpreendeu mto esse nsf, n lembrava dele ser tão bom. Porém com algumas ressalvas, a jogabilidade, as corridas de drift e as decidas da montanha são de longe as melhores coisas do jogo, porém, senti que o jogo é mto curto, não é desafiador, não senti necessidade de trocar de carro, usei quase o mesmo durante o jogo todo, e ainda senti falta das perseguições policiais e as corridas poderiam ser mais elaboradas, todas elas acabam sendo repetitivas e passam pelos mesmos locais do mapa. No mais, apesar de alguns pontos negativos, consegui me divertir bastante.
