If youve been awaiting your next fix of high-octane street racing, Need for Speed: Carbon will be a welcome sight. Not much has changed since the last game. In some respects thats a good thing; the slick presentation weve come to expect is still...

While it’s a juxtaposition to be sitting completely still staring at a monitor and at the same time feeling like you are going 200 MPH, that absurd sensation seemed to be the goal for the creative team behind the little goliath series known as...

There?s little science to Carbon ? but we like it all the...

Need for Speed Carbon(hx) 07:55 PM EST - Dec,10 2006 Need for Speed: Carbon is the latest installment in the Need for Speed series. Despite it using the same engine like the previous game, Need for Speed: Carbon has a very different look from Need for...

The Need for Speed franchise has been running for more than a decade, although it wasnt until the 2003 release of Need for Speed: Underground that it made the jump from niche circuit driver to mass-market street racer. The excellent Need For Speed:...

Like many other EA titles, the Need for Speed franchise goes through a fresh incarnation each year. But is this next instalment worth your hard-earned (or possibly laundered) money? With this review concentrating on the PC version (the PS2 review can...

I was a big fan of on the Xbox 360. Despite the fact that Project Gotham Racing 3 grabbed all the headlines when the X360 launched, I actually enjoyed NFS more. Don’t get me wrong, PGR3 was a stunning game to look at, but when you’ve bought...

By TechTree on November 13, 2006 70

The graphics have had many mixed reactions, from "Super-cool" to "what a load of crap". The game looks good, but at times it just isnt satisfying, it lacks the punch of NFS: MW. I feel NFS: MW had a better feel, yet Carbon is more demanding. I had...

good fun racing and drifting action: The great British buying public, of which this reviewer is a paid-up member (with the credit card bill to prove it) has, for the past few years, chosen to bestow the honour of Christmas Number One...

International Review By Clubic on November 14, 2006 60

Need For Speed Carbon offre donc de nombreuses possibilités en matière de tuning, malheureusement, les quelques nouveautés apportées à ce titre ne suffisent pas à nous faire oublier la faible durée du mode « Carrière », des poursuites avec la police...

International Review By InfoMods on November 10, 2006 80

Il est à présent temps de conclure. Depuis le film Fast and Furious, il est clair que le tuning touche de plus en plus de monde, et cest un créneau quEA a eu raison dexploiter, au vu du succès des trois précédents opus. Sans révolutionner le...

International Review By Tech-Talk on February 29, 2008

Need For Speed Carbon erinnert stark an Nfs Underground 2. Ich habe das Spiel zu Weihnachten 2006 bekommen.Der Karriere-Modus, ist eigendlich wie bei Most Wanted gestaltet. Man hat einen Unterschlupf und von da aus kann man alles regeln.Das spannende...
