Carbon Canyon by Eric Jacobs (North Carolina, USA stationed in Okinawa, Japan)  5 Stars
October 28, 2009
This game is crazy. The story is great for those that have been following the Underground story line since the first game on PS2. It's getting deeper and deeper. And this is great with the real life cutscenes. 10/10

Lots of fun! by Dominic (Denver CO) 5 Stars
June 01, 2009
Very fun game that has everything I liked about most wanted: wide selection o cars, their unique system of evading the cops, and their shop where you can mod cars up. This game is a blast the only thing I don't like about it is the physics of drifting; they are kind of unrealistic.

Extremely Fun, But Ridiculously Easy by Steven Stewart (steveo.stewart@hotmail.co.uk)  3 Stars
April 28, 2009
I've not played a need for speed game since the utterly brilliant Need for Speed Underground. That game was simply so good, it seemed almost impossible to top. Which is when, the fantastic Need for Speed: Carbon became the first game of the franchise to hit the PS3. What a debut it was as Carbon is sincerely one of the most fun games to be playable on the PS3 in the first few months of its release.
The game itself goes back to its underground routes with the night time racing and different race types that take place in a canyon or on the treacherous mountain roads. These two different racing modes are without a doubt the most fun additions to any series, even ahead of the customisation abilities of the past. The drift races are easily the most fun and something I enjoy more as I've mastered the technique to the point in which I do not touch a wall and end the race with an unimaginable point score (I dare you to challenge me :)
Drag races have been removed but have been replaced by something known as "canyon duel" in which you are racing one on one and the goal is to remain as close to your rival as possible during the race. Another new feature within gives you the ability to amass a crew that can be selected to help you win the races, as good as an addition as this is, it becomes almost too much of a help to the point in which the game is very easy to complete.
The visuals are without a doubt stunning, but I couldn't help but be disappointed by the standard considering it's a game of the PS3. The customisation is more detailed than any previous games, giving you the ability to let your imagination run wild. The games plot pits you against 3 separate racing gangs which you must beat in a number of exciting races and challenges in order to progress to the final race. As you progress through the plot, you gain new friends that join your crew and also win some bonus cars as a reward for beating your challenger. I didn't play Most Wanted, but I believe it follows on from that.
Because of the free roaming capability, you can go about particular races or side challenges at your leisure, or if you're bored, you can just speed through the city until you grab the cop's attention and just take chase. The whole combination of the cool race additions such as the duel and the drift, the ability to roam the city at your whim, the capability to develop a crew to help you out and the immense customisation options combined with stunning visuals and a well defined city present an amazingly fun game that anyone can pick up at any time and enjoy.
I would highly recommend this to any casual PS3 gamer. Be warned, however, as the game that followed this was a blatant spit in the face to the series.
