Showcase your ps3 power!

Strengths: Great sense of speed! Awesome Graphics!

Weakness: Can't think of any

A very fun game. Driving around and challenging people is cool. I must admit that playing online, I got beat very easily so I don't know how they balance the players out. Sticking rookies up against vets doesn't seem to be as fun online. I would prefer it to be a little more even to begin with. Playing offline is fun and as stated, the graphics are awesome! The lighting and textures look great in...

NFS: Carbon Review

Strengths: Great Game, Great Graphics

Weakness: I believe that its weakness is that I believe is not challenging as previous version

It is a great game with great graphics and cars with enhanced controls. The game experience is very fun and exciting especially when you play multi-player as well as playing online with up to 8 players and it is very challenging with enhanced wheeling control.

The Sequel: The Best

Strengths: Great graphics, with a wide variety of cars to choose from. Bosses are interesting and unique in their own way. Is also very easy to learn.

Weakness: No known faults, but is relatively short.

This sequel to Need For Speed: Most Wanted is great although it is short. If you know what you are doing, you can beat the game in about three days. This game does ahve it's upsides, however, for it has great graphics, sound effects, etc.

real as it gets

Strengths: graphics look so damn real u dont need an hd tv, so fun its addictive, great selection of fast easy to drive vehicles, good storyline,dramatic and so fun to get chased by and bust up cops

Weakness: a little short, a little too easy and the bosses are annoying to hear them talking.

this game does a great job at showing off ps3 power with graphics and gameplay. This game is really fun and addictive but it could be longer, but i don't see how it could be. But it's long enough. It's a game where u can just pick up a car and go race-no problems and no tough technical stuff. A newby who doesnt know anything about cars can be an ace at this game. Messing with the cops in this...

Need For Speed Carbon

Strengths: Mostly everything about it. The cars and graphics were ridiculous. You don't need an HD cord. Difficulty was fine. The sound and handling of cars was sweet. The drift races were so much fun.

Weakness: Starting out with weak cars always sucks but, its good for the progression. Loosing to the boss and having to start back a couple of races was frustrating. The help driver aspect kind of sucked.

I loved the game, and when I finished, I had a pimped out Lambo Gallardo, Carera GT, my favorite, and a rally machine WRX. I want that to be my garage in a few years. I feel that the driving was very realistic, and feel like I could really drive like that. Probably a bad thing but hey the game took over a good few days of my life and I'm not complaining. I wish I could play online and race...

Need for Speed: Carbon

Strengths: Graphics, racing

Weakness: Short

Need for Speed: Carbon is a worthy sequel to the beloved NFS: Most Wanted. Graphics is excellent. The cars and environment look very realistic. It's almost like playing behind the wheel except without G forces. Drifting is great in this game. Although drifting is not realistic but it adds a lot of fun factors to the game. Sound and music is working very well too. The only complain is that this...

Average arcadey driving game by today's standards

Strengths: Graphics are better than PS2's; the premise of the game is a little different from other driving games

Weakness: Graphics don't fare well against today's PS3 games; game feels average all-around

I was pretty disappointed with this game, but the problem might be more with my expectations. I believe Need for Speed: Carbon was a PS3 launch title. In other words, it came out way back when the PS3 first came out, which was over a year ago. It probably wasn't a bad game back then, but the bar has been raised since then by games like Motorstorm and Burnout: Paradise. For example, the graphics...

Need for Speed Carbon

Strengths: Good Graphics, online

Weakness: missing some little but nice features

Need for Speed Carbon is a great racing game for the PS3. The graphics is good, especially when you are driving at over 120 mph. It is nice that they removed the free roam feature and you can now just jump straight to the race events. Moreover, it is really fun to play with other people online. But there are some little but nice features missing in this game, such as drag, replays and the cars...

NFS Carbon

Strengths: Great Game, Great Graphics

Weakness: none

I like it very much. It is really a great game. The graphics looks good on my HDTV. Depending on the skill level, the further you go, the harder this game will be. NFS Carbon had a sense of style, a great storyline, but most importantly was quite fun and diverse. 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...

Need for Speed Carbon

Need for Speed Carbon is this fall’s entry in EA’s long-running racing franchise, and it takes the race back to the city streets. More of an evolution than a reinvention of the series, Carbon carries on the feel of the Underground games released a few years ago, emphasizing city-street racing and tuning. Carbon also adds some new concepts to the formula, some that work and some that don’t....
