I like more this title than Gran turismo series. This concept is fun... you can customize your car and run with another guys who can help you. i finished resistance, and this game is more addictive you want to run all the challenge to achieve more things. If you like the race games you must have it.

I absolutely love this Need for Speed! The game play is great...even the story line is pretty good...I wish the graphics were a touch better..but 720p ain't too bad...The map could be a bigger too. Overall an awesome game.

Great for everyone

This game is great from the graphics to the quick races. My six year old loves it. One of the best driving games ever. When the rain hits the wind shield you think you are in the car.

I bought Need for Spped Carbon for my playstation2 and the game was like playing a cartoon and it kept on freezing up. I thought maybe the playstation was dirty since I own Playstation2 and 3 also tried it in playstation3 it didn't help. Bought the game for Playstation3 and it works great and much better graphics since it used on HD Plasma T.V. Depending on skill level game does get harder the futher you go.

PS3's Need To Race

The Playstation 3 system has definitely been recognized as one of the most popular video game systems on the holiday market today. Although there have been many different games that have thrived from the earlier Playstations that Electronic Arts have delivered well on, there is arguably one game that has the rush for anybody who wants to be a street demon, Need For Speed. Since it debuted a decade ago, it has been recognized as one of the best racing game series of all time. The last version, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, did a fantastic job at bringing in new reved up racers to all game consoles alike. Now, a new chapter has helped Need For Speed make its debut on the Playstation 3, but does it deliver like its PS2 counterpart?

Need For Speed Carbon for the Playstation 3 is a wild and driven racing game that deliver mostly well for all gamers of all kinds. The game picks up mostly well, as you enter Palmont City, eager for a new challenge after Rockport's Most Wanted madness, as you race your way, trying to conquer the streets with your crew. The game features nearly all the excitement, as you race your way to the top of the heat, to tackle Darius and his league of underground racers. The game features all the classic cars you've come to love from the Mazda RX-8, to exoticas like the Porsche Carrera, and also classic muscle cars like the Dodge Charger, and the Plymouth Challenger as well. There are also thrilling tracks that make the game shine well from circuit races, and speedtraps against the cops, to the return of drifting tracks, something that wasn't seen since Underground 2. The graphics are polished up noblely well, and thrive with each speed of the gameplay. There are however, a couple of disadvantages to the game. One of them, is that you don't have as much challenge against the police as you did with Need For Speed Most Wanted. The other disadvantage, is the muscle cars are very difficult to control for new gamers, and take a whole lot just to get used to, especially in the challenge mode.

Still, even though I wish there could've been more that should have been played in Need For Speed Carbon for the Playstation 3, but it is definitely enough to give any speed demon a thrill of a lifetime. If you have the PS3, than I recommend you place this on your gamelist. I loved playing this chase, and you'll enjoy this need as well.

What an arcade racer should be

Need for Speed has been perfecting the arcade racer for many years. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit was one of my favorites because of the police pursuits. Carbon takes that element to the next level. Now this game features several unique features which make this game special.

The storyline is rather unique and gives you a personality. You are a character that you never talk or have a face. It would have been nice if they allowed players to personalize that aspect more. This game is not overly challenging and features well designed courses. There are various race types that if one doesn't challenge you enough another will. I seem to do pretty well it just about every race style. Except for drift racing which is very challenging and requires great timing. This game adds a new aspect called a wingman. This character will help you in just about every race. Whether it be to block another race or bring home first place. As you progress in the game you can personalize your vehicles more and also earn newer faster vehicles. That is not only important for career racing mode but also online play. As I have noticed the competition out there is excellent. The game also has added a card collecting goal. This game gets you rewards for collecting four cards in each category. The physics of this game is excellent and the speed is furious. You really feel the speed of the cars out there are quickly understand the capabilities of the car you are driving.

When it comes to graphics the 360 comes in first at least with this game. The graphics are a little darker and muddier than its Microsoft predecessor. Although that being said the graphics are still excellent. By far these games continue to shine in creating beautiful environments. The entire game takes place at night which may be a little disorienting to some.

Overall I love this game. From the great storyline to the music that seems to fit every environment perfectly. I would consider this game for anyone who like some aderaline pumping action.

Best Racer for PS3 to Date

I was a big fan of NFSMW. NFSC is the best racer available for PS3 right now.
Pros: Tons of customization options. Challenging canyon races, go off the edge and the race is over. Tons of unlockables. Drift challenges are new, fun, and very challenging.

Cons: Police pursuits have been made easier than in Most Wanted, and pursuits are no longer mandatory challenges to complete. All races are at night, although, there are seldom changes in weather (ie. rain). Graphics have improved from Most Wanted, but could be better considering it's PS3.
