Wow, if the demo is any indication of the full game, I know to steer clear of NFS: carbon. The autoscript is neat but everything else is a mess.
Game seems cool , but truth It feels like any other Need For Speed at moment I wish they showed off the online protion with the clans and stuff , but overall seems okay after getting hang of it. I still hate Drift Races though , but cannon race was pretty cool.

Sucks my Xbox is dead. I would really like to try out the new one. I really enjoyed Most Wanted. Guess I'll just have to wait.

After playing this, I decided I will be better off waiting for Forza 2. The controls are way too sloppy for me. Hope you guys enjoy it

Once again another demo saves me $60.
Theres nothing new here, that I wasnt playing years ago on underground. Oh how I miss hot pursuit.
And thanks to PGR and TDU, no in car cam = no sale :)

I serioulsy don't understand why you guys like that view. I cannot play in that view at all. I love the "helicopter view" because its easier to handle and its more visually stunning...you can see a wide are of the levels.

In-car just represents a better simulation. It really feels like you're driving the car and you get to hear the matching sounds as if you were really in it. Some like this, some don't. I will say that I enjoyed in-car on PGR3, but I hate it on TDU.

Customization is awesome this time around from what I can do in the demo.

I was kind of suprised. My demo downloaded in about 20-25 mins. It usually takes like an 45mins to an hour.

I already had my pre-order paid off, but looks like I'm switching it to another game. This game isn't as fun anymore for some reason. A huge part feels like the Underground series.

...A huge part feels like the Underground series.
Noooooo...damn it. Why didnt they stick with MW and build from it. I guess thats one less game I'm getting this fall. I'll make my final decision when I play it tonight.

Fuck !!!!!!
I still hope cops are in this game atleast... I have been hearing everyone say its like underground And underground really really sucked compared to Most Wanted.

10-04-2006, 07:58 PM
I have to agree with the Underground comparisons. It wasn't very fun and it felt like I had played it before. The customization is pretty slick, but not for $60.

Only thing I liked was the drift track, but I think I may pass for the racing aspect.

Game is balls. NFSMW just dropped to 30 new/25 used. Go with that instead. I love that game.

Perhaps they should rename this one "Need for speed: Carbon Copy".
I had high hopes for this one but I think the NFS series has finally become crap. The old games were so great, with each one in the series adding something new (relatively speaking). This one feels like a copy of Underground just with "cool speed effects".
They copy one of the previous games (perhaps UG2) with the whole "sexy" cartoon female character giving you a warning not to do this on the street. The "customization" seems laughable to me. I can now make some of the ugliest rims on earth (at least in this demo).
I'm going to pass.

not feeling this demo... it feels sluggish and not fast,
i think the frame rate needs a boost and it feels like your just sliding around

Game blows. The detail on the modding of the vehicles is tight, but the game just blows. Damn EA...why couldnt the follow up Most Wanted?

I played about 7 seconds into a race and then deleted it. Same old shit! I thought the customization was pretty slick though.
The real best part of game was the Canyon race it was really fun I thought.

not too shabby a game. Not sure if it's different enough for me to buy it above most wanted. I don't really give a crap about customization. the Canyon pass is an obvious rip of the Initial D races but it's semi interesting.

Man... this game was hyped up for a long time too, disappointing its turned out not so hot.
Yea, they just need to make a Hot Pursuit 3 already.

I think I'll be picking up Test Drive instead of this

And the graphics don't look anywhere near 360 style. Late XBox maybe. Visually underwhelming and the game's crap.
Back to NFS: MW for me.

The customization is awesome. However the game plays like the first underground with no sense of speed. The developers copped out made everything have motion blur over 80 mph. I'll be passing on this one.

After seeing the screens on ign , with a '70 Chevelle SS and the Camaro Concept , I'm leaning more towards getting this again .

It looks like they've learned a little lesson in variety from Midnight Club 3 .
