Very Fun and Very Customizable

This game run's neck-and-neck with Need for Speed: Most Wanted. The graphics are great, the gameplay is great, and the level of customization is great.

There are far less police chases than Most Wanted and it's a bit easier to get away. It seemed to track the cost to state and bounty, but didn't do anything with them.

They also resurrected the drift tracks...so much fun!

In a Risk-type manner you take over territories. With each race you unlock parts/customizations and with each territory you unlock cars. Also, if you do all the races in an area you get an added bonus.

In this one you get a crew. Each crew member has different qualities (both on and off the road). If you want to come in second every race, then get a scout and enjoy "Team Member Won" wins. If you want to be first and hear funny quips, get a blocker.

Some crew members unlock customizations, others unlock racing bonuses. Personally, I prefer the bonuses.

Great Game & Great Service

This is a pretty good game. It like most all the need for speed games and this one is exciting due to the racing and running aspect and with partners on a crew . Pretty interesting concept and has worked fine thus far . The game is fast and competitive . Great game !!

Very pleased

I got this game for my 14 year old son. He LOVES it! i have a house with two teen boys and a husband who thinks he's a teenager and they love to take turns racing one another. It gives me tons of time to do what i love which is NOT video games. They get to make up thier own cars and designs on the cars, and they get to race till thier hearts are content. Hours and hours of fun for them (and quiet for me). I suggest this game for any kid (or husband who acts like a kid).

Cool Cars

It's fun because when you customize cars, it gives you another star, another track, to race. The cars are cool once you customize them. The racing is pretty challenging once you get up to the first town leader.

Nothing new here

Need For Speed Carbon picks up where the previous year's entry, the superior Need For Speed: Most Wanted, left off story wise. Now that you've gotten back your ride (only to lose it again), you're in a turf war with the other street racers in town. In terms of new features, Carbon offers canyon races as well as wingman modes. Other than that though, there's nothing new in Carbon whatsoever. If you've played any, and I mean any, Need For Speed or recent street racing game in recent memory, you'll know what to expect with Carbon. The game's deliberately cheesy FMV sequences are here to compel the story again (this time featuring hottie Emanuelle Vaugier), as well as a heaping amount of customization options, but Carbon has it's share of noticable flaws. Most notably is that there is no online capability at all. This in itself is disappointing considering the online play of past Need For Speed games on the PS2 has been surprisingly good. The police chases as well, one of the best features of Most Wanted, feel very lame here as well. Other than all that though, Carbon looks good, plays well, and despite another heaping amount of product placement from EA, is fun for a while. However, if you're expecting a whole new game here, you've come to the wrong place.

Before I get started, I do have to say that I know this game isn't flawless. The cars could be a little easier to attain, the career could be a little more long, the basic races could be a little more challenging, and the car customizations could have a few more options. However, the game overall was a great play. I had so much fun playing the career that I had a hard time ever putting the controller down. I also like the amount of options you have towards what kind of racing you want to do (i.e. career, quick race, etc.). I also thought that the graphics were pretty much amazing for the PS2. I really liked the music and actually have bought two CD's by artists featured on the game. I like the different classes and types of cars. Also, I found the "partner" racing style to be pretty fun (although at times ineffective). Canyon races are always fun, and I play the game all the time even though I've already beaten it. Also, I LIKE THE NIGHT RACING! If there was one thing I hated about Most Wanted, it was that you race in broad freakin daylight. I have to admit, you do have to be a Need for Speed fan to fully enjoy the game. If you don't like racing games, don't play it! But this is seriously a step up for the Need for Speed line.
