In true EA fashion, this game tacks on extra features and removed old features haphazardly without concern for what worked in the previous incarnations of the game.
Sidekicks: kinda nifty, helpful sometimes, but they caused me to lose a race more than once. Also, with the sidekicks it is possible to come in last yet still win a race if your sidekick comes in first.
Autosculpt: I never really understood how to unlock different autosculpt features. Apparently I could crop the top on some cars. I never saw that option. None of the autosculpt features looks any good anyways, I prefered the "aftermarket mods"
The new interface is terrible. When you hold the controller sideways Excite Truck style, it does not change the interface orientation, so you have to press the right arrow to navigate down in the interface.
There is an icon of the steering wheel to tell you how much you are turning, which could be useful, but there is no meter to tell you how much you are accelerating when you are using the angle of the wiimote as your gas pedal.
Running from the cops was very exciting in Hot Pursuit when your goals were right in your face the entire time. In Carbon, you have exit entirely back to the main menu out of career mode to see what you have to do to in your police chases. Far too much of a pain
