    Not a bad game,great control options. i'm really looking for more cars, real tracks and real damage/cornering/braking strategies. its a typical nfs, updated (aka EA yearly update).please nintendo give us a gran turismo/forza motorsports type game. and mariocart does not count.

    Sorry to say it, but the Wii version's at the bottom of the list for Carbon. It's not redefining the street racing genre, but at times it can still hit a sweet spot blend of intensity, danger and style.

    It feels more like you're controlling a puppet on strings rather than a Lotus Elise. [Christmas 2006, p.75]

    Need for Speed Carbon on the Wii contains some unique driving control options, but none of them can escape the sensation that this game simply wasn't built for motion control.
