    NFSC es, de lejos, el MEJOR juego de carreras jamás hecho. Variedad de carreras, defensa y conquista de territorios callejeros, persecuciones policiales espectaculares, variedad de vehículos, versatilidad al momento de tunear, 3 clases de vehículos para escojer, nuevas mecánicas como tener una crew o las carreras del Cañón... Todo con una estética nocturna y neon que le dan el broche deNFSC es, de lejos, el MEJOR juego de carreras jamás hecho.

    Admit it, Carbon is an amazing game. If Blackbox had a year to make this game, then it would have be the best the series has to offer.

    As a racing games fan, I could not have fun while playing this game. Most wanted and Underground 2 which are old comparing to carbon are technically better games.

    The graphics of this version to this day I think it's beautiful! The biggest problem with this game is the unbalanced difficulty and some police chases that the police never stop respawning, I already spent 1 hour and 40 minutes with her behind me and I without be able to evade or enter the cooldown

    The best Need for Speed game by far. And a huge mod is on the horizon that will improve the game in every aspect - NFSCO.

    there were small details that were not used correctly, but otherwise it was incredible, and many thanks to black box for destroying that stupid kit car

    This is a solid racing game that has evolved the need for speed series and just tightened and improved upon many of the things that were left unfurnished in the last game.

    Цілком гідний НФС. Не рівня мост вонтед, проте, гралось абсолютно адекватно

    This Game is Not a Most Wanted but it's enjoyable :) . Story is not very good but i think cinematics are better than Most Wanted. Graphics are good for a 2006 game. Idk why but i like carbon more than Most Wanted. But It's too short :(

    After finished playing NFS Carbon, I think this is one of the most underrated NFS than the other previous series like NFS: MW 2005. It has unique features such as "Wingman", "Canyon Race", and "Autosculpt Modification", it has awesome soundtracks ( not EA Trax), and every boss cutscene is badass but it has short & cringy lines.

    But in all of that, there are some drawbacks. It has a

    But in all of that, there are some drawbacks. It has a short duration of career completion, the story is not that good, it has weak racing a.i + no rubberband, only a few amount of canyon races, no more bounty target (like NFSMW 2005), and the race is kinda repetitive. Overall, this game is still fun to play.

    Sorry about my English is not that good.

    Game is amazing but the game is atleast 10 - 12 hours to beat the game but it's still a good game

    I am not sure how could can be a story related to cars, but I found this one ok. I mean it's something over nothing. Otherwise a great NFS experience and one of the best of the series.

    Not as good as Underground 2 or Most Wanted but Carbon is still pretty dope game.

    This is a really solid nfs game in my opinion. It's a good sequel to nfs mw and it has some cool new features like the territory acquisition. I really recommend this game if you like nfs games

    If you ever want to experience the height of NFS. then this is the one to play!

    Canyons are really fun

    Just a shame EA rushed Blackbox for this release.

    Моя любимая часть nfs. Тут появились некоторые способности машин, всё тот же отличный сюжет, и запутанный ночной город и тюнинг

    Это не игра а дополнение к NFS Most Wanted все машины в городе те же самые менты те же самые. Сюжет полная чушь, а гонка с главарём по каньону вообще самая тупая в серии. Музыка так же стала раз в 10 хуже её просто слушать невозможно такая она отвратительная.Это не игра а дополнение к NFS Most Wanted все машины в городе те же самые менты те же самые.

    The drifting is an acquired taste (but it's good), the canyon duals are decent changes (though not great), and the crews...well, they suck. Of the myriad new features, the addition of muscle cars and the online functionality are the best.
  2. A great addition to the series for fans and probably a decent rental for most. While things have been upgraded and new elements added on, it’s still NFS and it still gets repetitive and boring after awhile. It’s like EA’s "Madden" of racing.
  3. Even though the wingman mechanics and canyon races don't quite pan out, it's still a stylish and enjoyable street racer.
