The New Need for Speed Carbon

This is not a question, but rather a conversation starter.

I have played the newst of the NFS series recently and would like discuss it.

I played it on the PS2, and let me tell you that the graphics are awesome for that thing. Some new features for designing cars such as autosculpt (a feature where you can almost completly design your own parts). Some nes paints have also been brought into the scene. And for some people the plus of getting muscle cars into the game such as the Dodge Charger s/rt makes it funner.

An old racing style, drift, has been resurrected for this game. It is faster than Underground's version. However, they pulled out Drag racing to compensate. The newest style of racing is canyon racing, where the object is to tail your opponent the closest or pass them, and if your oppenent does the better job, you lose.

The in-game soundtrack is okay, but the menu music is HORRIBLE!!!

The cops pose a more difficult challenge, they are the same vehicles from Most Wanted under the same sytem, but use more advanced tactics from the start, and driving more than 10 mph with lvl 5 heat is counted as speeding.

You get a "crew" to race with. They can provide a draft, take out other racers, or scout for short cuts, even win a race for you if you lose it. You can even edit their cars, mind you that firing them (letting them go) will undo car changes.

The carreer mode is short, maybe under 10 hours of play, but with the tournament mode, challenge mode, and to make a vehicle free of charge outside career mode, it makes up for that minor downside.

Someone said their were no inappropriately dress chicks, but that is wrong.
