Unfortunately there is no option to change the difficulty setting for Career mode, and you’re stuck with a difficulty curve that looks more like a vertical brick wall. You get all the standard race modes, with the exception of drag, to rev your engines through.Īt first, the AI can seem a tad easy, especially with the added assistance of crew members. As always, the cars look amazing, and the environment has become even more distracting to the point where you find yourself crashing without realising very often. The traffic, the police, the pursuit breakers and the whole set of game options are unchanged. But if you’ve played Most Wanted you can’t help but get the feeling that you’ve been here before. The police chases are exhilarating, with different vehicles and tactics, such as road blocks, ramming SUV’s into your ride and the classic box formation, which all make a comeback. In terms of new features, Carbon offers surprisingly little. You’re entered into a race against 3 other competitors, where you can get to grips with your new wheels. From here you’re thrown straight into the driver’s seat. This choice determines how you progress through the game, from the crew members you encounter, to how you unlock new items (more on this later). In Carbon, your game experience becomes very diverse as you must choose between three car types: Tuner, Exotic and Muscle. It’s when you end up at a the car select screen where you experience the first major change in the game.

The graphics on these are spectacular, and prove that even though the PS3 is here, its older brother is still able to wow its audience. Straight away you’re treated to a few cut-scenes, linking the two games (NFS:MW and NFS:C). The urge to dive right into the career mode is uncontrollable and it’s too hard to resist starting it up. People new to the game will also feel welcomed as the main menu is small, simple and easily useable.

When you get to the main menu, NFS:MW veterans will feel at ease already. But, when it comes to the question of is it any different, you might find EA um-ing and ah-ing.įirst off, you get the usual intro warning all you fast and furious wannabes that when the game turns off, so does your invincibility. But can it possibly still have all of the rapid goodness that you remember from the old days? In short, yes. Another Christmas, and yet another NFS game rolls onto the shelves.
