Ordered the game new for my son and it worked fine the first week then stopped working. Returning because I don't ubdhow a brand new game just stops working all together if it's brand new. I think they sold me a used game for one priced as brand new

It's Need For Speed fun all over again. I'm not about to be one of those crazy people who say the series needs an overhaul to be great again. It doesn't. I love the direction the developers have taken in the game. That said, it's not an original direction, just one of polish.

I honestly think the development focused solely on graphics, and then realized just before the release that they had forgotten to work on the racing portion of the game and just slapped something together and called it good. It is really a shame that the game wasn't better.

Well, the graphics are good; You can do a lot of customization to the car to make it your own; Those are about the only good things

Where should i start The handling of the cars is horribly unrealistic; The game is just way too short; The characters are about as lame as they can get; The other thing is the traffic; You are apparently supposed to hit 18-wheelers and make the cars or lumber fall off to stop cops in a chase.

Need for speed Carbon, what an anticipation for a game!! Personally it could have lived up to the hype more than it did in my opinion... There are good point and bad points to this game, each outweighing the other. But let's start with a background on the game.

Fun game play. Endless customization. Absorbing experience. Total Enjoyment.

Standard procedure in reviewing 90% of EA games is to fluff out the piece with an opening paragraph or two on the decline of gaming as brought about by the company's relentless annual regurgitation of flagship brands.

The Need for Speed series has been around since just after the dawn of time, or so it seems, and yet again brings another high quality game, Carbon (so named as it has an area named Carbon Canyon, not due to carbon body kits).

Set in a fictional cityscape, which is divided into districts, the first thing you'll do as part of the career mode is choose a vehicle class. You've got Muscles, Tuners and Exotics and they all control vastly different.

Like a lot of EA's annual cash-cow staples, Need For Speed has been through more peaks and troughs than your average cardiograph. Perhaps inevitably, after last year's palpitating return to form with Most Wanted, Carbon's solid but formulaic approach to street racing struggles to raise the pulse for...

Don't listen to the bad reviews, if you can pick this up for under a tenner you'll have yourself a great game and lots of enjoyment. Superb graphics this puts some of the new releases to shame. Excellent variation of on line games to play. Get it cheap and you'll love it.
