Need for Speed Carbon

The second game in the Need for Speed ​​series that I played after Most Wanted, and which unfortunately disappointed me. There is no such addictive atmosphere as in the previous part.

Pros:

The style in this game is not poorly maintained and reveals itself in everything from the night time to vinyl and music in the background.

Different gangs participate in the races. And each gang has its own vinyl, which makes each NPC racer more than just a faceless creature. There are areas in the city that are controlled by large gangs, and each of these areas was also in the style of gangs. This is a small thing, but it made the city seem different

Carbon now has partners with different abilities.

But the calling card of carbon was canyon racing. This is something new. The ga… Read full
