  • Summary: Need for Speed Carbon Own the City features all-new crew-based gameplay and an exclusive east coast open-world city to explore. The unique to handheld story thrusts you into an ongoing turf war. You are challenged to build an unstoppable crew, win races against fierce rivals, and outwit the cops. How you choose and manage your crew will be the difference between victory and defeat. Crew members improve with race experience and you’ll have to choose either to develop each crew member over the course of the game or swap them out when hot new recruits come available.

    It’s one of the rare times where you should purchase both the console versions and the PSP version since both offer different yet extremely compelling racing.

    We're definitely keen on the PSP version, serving up some solid racing fun that'll get your heart pumping and your fingers moving. Just be sure to get by with a little help from your friends.

    A great driving game if you're new to the Need for Speed series, otherwise it's a bit same old, same old. [Christmas 2006, p.95]

    Sure it still is a fast and furious racing game with a lot to offer but this is stuff we’ve seen before.

    Pretty sick game. I just bought a psp and this to go along with it because I have it for 360. I also bought 3 other games and i found myself playing only this one. this game is awesome and is a great crossover from the console edition. Worth buying!… Expand

    I think that nfscown the city is one of the best nfs games. it has awsome graphics for a handheld and has alot of customization varriations. you can name your crew customize your crew and u dont have crew members in midnightclub dub edition. you have a limited # of NOS on dub edition, on carbon your NOS grows back for the things u do. also, you dont get lost on the races and you can get chased by the cops.… Expand

    I still think that that Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition is much better,just think about it NFS has 1 unknown town with streets like a racing tracks,Midnight Club has 3 proper city's(4 if you play Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition Remix),NFS has around 20 cars,Midnight Club has more then 50 cars(every on of them can be customized)+choppers,suvs,police cars and sport bikes.NFS limited amount of customizations,Midnight Club has thousands and thousands of different customizations from vanils to rims. So if you are thinking of buying Need For Speed Carbon, think again!… Expand
