Don’t get too excited, however, as it is now harder escape a pursuit,but thankfully the cops are not as suicidally aggressive to bust you as in the last game. There are still police present and they will chase you relentlessly if you build up enough “heat” in an area, but they no longer play a role in the story. This means that there are way less rivals than what there was in Most Wanted, but you no longer have to jump through hoops to challenge them either. Win enough races and you will “own” the area until you eventually have enough territory to challenge the leader of the crew you are ousting. The city is divided into four areas, each run by a different crew. Instead of annoying the police and becoming “most wanted” your goal this time it to gain territories owned by other crews. With a good selection of vehicles spread across three classes and three tiers you are spoiled for choice no matter what your taste is. Of course each car you acquire can still be customized with all manner of upgrades, kits and visual effects. This time I opted for the muscle cars and had a much harder time. When the game first came out I used Tuners for all the races and found things laughably easy. When starting out you can now choose between Tuners, Muscle and Exotic cars.

Corny plot aside the game does have a few new tricks up its sleeve. It doesn’t quite have the personality that Most Wanted had despite the best efforts of new NFS girl, Emmanuelle Vaugier. The story is extremely predictable and the acting as stiff as can be but there is still something that makes it compelling to watch.
#NEED FOR SPEED CARBON GAMES SERIES#
The story is told via a series of flashbacks and once again uses real actors overlaid with some CGI effects. While they succeeded to a certain extent, the end result is not quite as great as it could have been. It is clear that EA wanted to retain all the elements that made Most Wanted so popular, but fuse it with the best bits from NFS: Underground as well. The sunny streets of Rockport have been replaced by the perpetually dark roads of Palmont, which completely changes the mood of the game, but there is more to it than a mere switch in scenery. Need For Speed: Carbon is the straight sequel to Most Wanted so it had some pretty big boots to fill. Broke and without a ride our unnamed racer has no choice but to race for Darius while trying to piece together what happened that fateful night he fled Palmont City. Cross who seems to have traded law enforcement for bounty hunting and then he is “helped” by a racer named Darius to whom he owes quite a bit of cash. However, things do not start out very well for him as first his car is wrecked by Sgt. After causing some serious havoc in Rockport, the unknown racer from Need For Speed: Most Wanted returns to his home city, Palmont.
