Players also run their own crew as well to help even the odds a little. Instead of working up a list or gunning for specific drivers, as was the case in Most Wanted, players will instead set their sights on conquering different districts of the city by challenging the controlling racing team and beating them. More often then not, however, the acting is just as bad, if not worse, than Most Wanted. When the actors that play these one-dimensional characters are half-way competent, the cut scenes are actually interesting to watch. The storyline is presented in hybrid FMV and CG, just like in Most Wanted, to varying success. With a busted ride and the tarnished reputation of a thief and backstabber, players will find themselves in the familiar position of rock-bottom with nowhere to go but up. With Sergeant Cross, or rather bounty hunter Cross now, hot on his heels, the protagonist returns to Palmont after a five-year hiatus. When players last saw the BMW M3 it was fleeing the police on its way out of Rockport. While these and all of the other additions add up to a solid racing title, Carbon feels more like a mix between Underground 2 and Most Wanted instead of a title of its own. To go along with this new race type, EA Black Box has also constructed an entirely new career system that challenges players to conquer a city street by street. As seen in the latest Fast and the Furious, Japanese gear-heads have been tearing down hills with reckless abandon for a while. To follow up that success, Carbon brings another racing trend that is more popular across the Pacific Ocean than in the States in the form of downhill drifting.
NEED FOR SPEED CARBON RACE SERIES
It wasnt until Most Wanted that NFS achieved a solid balance between racing trends and straight-up police evasion, culminating in the greatest title the series had ever produced. NFS brought us drift racing in Underground long before most of us had even heard of it. The Need for Speed franchise has always tried to keep pace with the newest trends in underground racing.
