    Instead of porting it over without much thought, they took the time to get something working that took advantage of the Wii's strengths.

    It’s a shame that EA decided to drop the intense cop chases from Most Wanted. Carbon is still a very addicting game even though the drift races don’t work quite as well as they should.

    The best driving game for Wii but that is not saying much. It looks and sounds good, though. The control system takes some time to get used to. [Feb 2007]

    Need for Speed Carbon for the Wii falls a bit flat in certain areas but it’s a good attempt at bringing us a fresh new twist to this underground racing series.

    The controls are new and innovative, but to a large percentage of racing fans they won’t seem to fit.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. This game gives gamers who play it a good challenge. And man do I love a good challenge! Now, if you started a new game yet or are interested in playing Need For Speed: Carbon, here's the first three cars from the game you can choose from. Muscle: Chevrolet Camaro SS. Exotic: Alfa Romeo Brera. Tuner: Mazda RX-8. I went with Tuner. I like the Tuner class. After that, I went with Exotic, and kept Exotic. Now to the gameplay. I enjoy it very much. The controls are easy, and it was the first ever Need For Speed game that I completed and it still is. I can even do my best and win against hard opponents. Great game! I thank my father for getting the game. I love the Wii version way better than the PS2 version. It's just that good of a game!… Full Review »
