I for one absolutly enjoyed the canyon races. The fact that you can actually fall off the clif forces you to concentrate and not use the guard rails as a bumper. It was a nice touch of realism. The graphics look top notch as far as the cars go and thats mainly what you look at. The environments arnt exactly 360 capable but they arnt ugly, and when your going 120 who cares?
The game is super fun, the real time video acting is a definate plus, i thought it was a great story.

While so many people are more interested in the newer systems that are sold out, Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii, there is still a lot of action for Xbox 360 gamers, and holiday shoppers. That has also been said well with the Need For Speed franchise too. Since. they've started to thrive going back to the Underground series, many gamers have always wanted more. Last year, the Most Wanted edition of Need For Speed took gamers by surprise, by delivering the thrills of the race, with the pursuits of cops by the chase. Now, a new chapter has risen for Xbox 360 owners, but can it definitely deliver like before?
Need For Speed Carbon for the Xbox 360, tackles the fast and the furious as you battle your way to tackle your way through street racers and crew gang members, inorder to conquer the city with your crew. In the game you have many great and gripping tracks too from classics like the circuits, sprints, and the return of the drift race tracks from the Underground 2 era. You can also unlock great cars like the Didge Viper, exoticas like the McLaren, and muscles cars that have classic style and classic appeal. The graphics for the game have really shined and are truly polished with each control of the car. The control also brings ut the best with each car, and each bit of the chase. Sadly, though there are a couple of disadvantages to the game. One of them is the thrill of the chase against the police. It was more challenging back in Most Wanted, and there was more to challenge your cars with. Another disadvantage is that if you've played earlier versions of Need For Speed, you might have a too easy time beating the underground racers Darius and his crew.
All in all, I was mostly satisfied with Need For Speed Carbon, but I was just expecting a bit more excitement with each thrilling race. Nevertheless, I really recommend this as a must buy for Xbox 360 owners of all kinds, especially if you don't want to get yourself swept in the dust.

I've been playing this game since I got it for Christmas. Normally, I'm more of a fan of shooting games but I really like this one. The graphics are very nice and the game is simply enjoyable. It is fun playing with a buddy on split screen but I do not have X-Box Live and therefore can't comment on the online aspect. I really enjoy the amount of customizing you can do to the cars, which includes nitrous, blowers, turbos, paint, graphics, suspension, etc, etc. One word of advice, when you start out in Career Mode go with something other than the Camaro because I was only able to win a limited number of races with it. It just handles too slopy. I went back to the Maza RX8 and have had much success with it. I'll go back to the muscle cars later because I'm a big fan of them.

More of the same. Not much has changed since Need For speed Underground for the ps2. Graphics are basically the same.You won't be blown away by the graphics, I was expecting more from the Next gen 360 version. Gameplay is the same. There's new cars, muscle cars are a great improvement. The gameplay is a little more challenging than before. Don't bother playing online unless your car is hooked up 100 percent. EA needs to drastically change the next title. Car selection is not so good. Xbox live marketplace offers some more cars, but to purchase.( That's pathetic)I spent $60.00 on the game, I should be able to have free access to all cars. You should rent before you buy this one.
