Full Review for Need for Speed Carbon by Lambo84136

Introduction

This is the sequel to the amazing game Need For Speed Most Wanted. In this game, the rules are different. Opponent gangs are fighting to take over the city. When a gang see someone as a threat, they'll go against them in the canyons. However, I've noticed something with Need For Speed games. If there are cops in it, there WILL be glitches in it and they put the cops in to cover them up with pure adrenaline rushes. Lets see if this one's different...

 

Graphics

The graphics are beautiful. The details are amazing. However, and I'm not being prejudice here this problem is with all the NFS games on Gamecube. Basically the graphics clash. You have beautiffuly designed cars, but sh*t background. However, they've had a go at fixing it. They set it at night so it's so dark you can't see this problem. Unfortunately, you can't see anything else either. If you look for pursuit breakers you will almost definately miss it. And the actors are STILL attacked with Pledge so they're still really shiney. But, my least favourite thing is this- They tried showing the actors in their cars like in Most Wanted. Great idea, except they f****d it up so the cars look square.

 

Sound

Like always, the sound is beautiful. The car engines are beautiful, the voices of the actors is beautiful, it's just all beautiful. Its too bad everything else is a gigantic pile of sh*t but it's still good and besides it's NFS, what else do you expect?

 

Gameplay

This is just absolute SH*T! Sure they've added loads of other stuff like autosculpt features and your own crew, but there are still problems... And to make thing worse, they're all the problems that other NFS games have. The graphics clash, the speeds are unrealistic and the cops are too hard. Also, I have a few questions to ask Electronic Arts:
No.1- The races are almost impossible to win even with a crew and are impossble to win without them. Why? Why do you need a crew to win races? Why don't you just get rid of the crew and make the races easier? The races are even harder than in Underground 2 and that's hard to find.
No.2- The cops are impossible to get away from. Why? Why don't you just sod the cops and create a game without them? All of the greatest NFS games have no cops in it. Underground 2, no cops and it's perhaps the greatest NFS game in the world. The origional Need For Speed, that wasn't even set on the streets and it was still an amazing game. But all of the games with cops always have glitches. Hot Pursuit 2- steering's too light, doing almost anything makes you spin, the races are too hard, there's no free roam and the only good thing is the Be The Cop function. Most Wanted- Unrealistic speeds, over-dramatic crashes, races are too easy and the cops are too hard.
No.3- The invisible barriers are gone! ON 3 ROADS! Please as if that makes a difference at all! Why? Why don't they just get rid of all the invisible barriers instead?

 

Lastability

Depends how long you can go without getting so pissed off that you want to hit something small, insignificant and slightly chavy. The races are impossible, the cops are even more impossible and you won't be able to get up to fighting the first boss probably.

 

Overall

This is basically Most Wanted except more gothic and a hell of a lot harder. But it still has similarities with it's sophisticated brother. They're both completely useless...
If you want a NFS game, buy Underground 2 second hand. It's cheeper than Carbon being secondhand and personally, I think it's better.
And if you want a game with cops in it, buy a Burnout game. They're better than any NFS game with cops in it so go for either of thoughs NOT this.
This is basically the BMW X3 of the game world. There are way better things than it.
It's annoying, I had high hopes for this game, but it just ended up being like any other game with cops in it. Oh well, now I've warned you, so if you still buy it after reading this review, I have full permission to come round your house, drag you out into the street and shoot you. Aka DON'T BUY THIS GAME!!!


Final Score: 42%
