To me, it like one of these games that are infinite replayable. The classsystem provides a cool challenge, the cars are all cool and the customisation is good. The drifts are terrible, but can be completly skipted, what by the way, every nfs game should do. Palmont City is very interesting and the story is the best we saw until this point. The challenge series is very cool and quick races are very fun… Expand

   The customization was better, allowing ride height to be changed and more performance customization details.
   
   Autosculpt was a great feature and also you can move the vinyls, skew, rotate, and change colors.
   
   I was disappointed though that many things in the game had to be unlocked by completing challenge series or reward cards, where in most wanted you had to beat bosses.
   
   Also, most wanted had a bigger focus on police pursuits which I thought was much better than carbon, where you didn't even need to engage in a single pursuit to finish the game (although sometimes you had no choice; they sometimes show up in the middle of races).
   
   The ending was rather weak, but I won't give it away.… Expand

Right at the beginning of the game, we get the opportunity to ride in the legendary BMW from the previous part. But as usual, we will lose it quickly this time as well. Underground 2 and Most Wanted were great and unfortunately I can't say this about Carbon. You ask why? What always struck me in the Need for Speed ​​series was the graphics. EA just always had a beautiful visual and not that it was impossible to say about Carbon, but just what was it? The graphics here, although nice, just won't inspire you, as with the previous parts. I even thought that the previous Most Wanted looked better, but maybe that was just my opinion. In short, the game in graphics did not go much compared to previous parts. What's not bad, but purely I don't like it is the overall stylization of the game. Well OK. Stylization doesn't really. The menu and graphical interface is nice, but the city is so weird. Underground 2 immediately got me with its night city charm. Most Wanted with its daylight in the city, but Carbon somehow didn't interest me. The night city, although nice, is just kind of dead? Don't get me wrong. Maybe I'm the only one who sees it, but it just occurs to me that almost everything here is white. Underground 2 had a varied set of colors and so the city looked alive, but here everything is so white and I'm not a big fan of this style. Another thing is driving. Cars leave a line behind them or whatever it is. The control to the beginning compared to previous works is strange. So far I have not praised the game much and unfortunately the tuning will not save it. We can tune the cars well enough and I would say that maybe even better than with Most Wanted, but just like that, every car here won't make much of an impression, because those colors - what the hell are those colors? Again, this is my opinion, but in my opinion, all colors here are so dark, faded and simply indistinct overall. Such beautiful rich colors, which we had the opportunity to see in previous games here or at least I did not find and most importantly. The most terrible thing for me here was that I couldn't put my favorite neons on the car. Of course at Most Wanted, I understood when we had daylight, but here, where the night city returned, why didn't the developers give us the opportunity to put neons on our car? This just shows more that the whole game seemed to me to be kind of dead. All the lights in the city are white, and if I want my car to at least stand out with the light, I can't do it either. But now to the positive side of the game. The races, although harder to control or at least for me, are otherwise the same as before and even sometimes better in that, for example, my favorite drift returned to us. On the one hand, I didn't like it very much here, because, as I mentioned, it drifted quite badly because of the controls. The fact that it doesn't add much new is also not good for the game. We have the police here again, although the fact is that there are some gangs here, although I do not welcome this news very much and I was not very happy with it. So far, I've criticized the game quite a bit. You ask, is the game good at all? The answer is yes and I will now tell you why. Despite everything. Despite the dead city, worse control and nothing much new, the game continues with movies in the style of Most Wanted, and the story here, in my opinion, saves the game a lot. Once again, we'll see a Razor-style villain, or a pretty girl by the side, like Miu. Although the story recycles, it still works. What the game manages to be number one, however, is the soundtrack. The songs here are great and especially the one from the menu is just one of the best I've ever heard in the series. So in the end can I recommend this game to you? Although I think it's the fall of the series, because the previous episodes belonged to the golden era of Need for Speed ​​and the best racing games ever, even so, Need for Speed: Carbon is a good game saved by the soundtrack and the overall Most Wanted concept follows up. For me, a good game that I can recommend.… Expand

Now that I have completed it, I will never play it again.
   
   The graphics were worse than Underground 2 and Most Wanted.
   Palmont city is presented as a dark and dull place. Underground 2 was so well lit and colourful.
   
   Everyone had great expectations from this game. I believe NFS: Carbon could have been a great game if developers Black Box had been given proper time to complete it and not rushed for release.
   
   I can only wonder what could have been...… Expand

   the schedule in a game the sediment, a plot isn't worked out, the last boss can't be won if you are an ordinary gamer!
