Need For Speed: Carbon

Carbon brought some significant innovations to the series after Most Wanted like the boss races on urban roads, but the overall experience was too short.

The game also doesn't go as deep as Most-Wanted or Underground when it comes to car customization.

Still a good experience tho.

Carbon took Most Wanted’s formula and added canyon races, which was a nice touch. The customization was deeper, and I loved the crew system, but it didn’t quite capture the same magic as its predecessor. Still, the racing felt solid, and the visuals were sharp.

My cousin got me into Need For Speed Carbon, & this was my first Need For Speed game that I played. I haven't played Most Wanted, but I definitely do want to play it whenever I can buy the game.

This game review gets 10 stars from me because this made my childhood of gaming, a lot of memories when my cousin & I played, especially the banger soundtracks from here as well. This is one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time, & I still listen to the soundtrack today.

My only issue from this game however was the Darius boss battle in the canyon, I've always struggled on this battle with all the times I've played the game.

The canyon duels were nerve-wracking and intense, and building your crew added a fresh layer of strategy. While it didn’t quite surpass Most Wanted, the nighttime aesthetic and customization were top-notch.
