Need for Speed: Carbon for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

NFS Carbon is a racing game that does what it takes to leave a mark.
No longer available is the wanted mode in Carbon. Instead it is replaced by a crew you are able to hire and canyon races done to fight bosses and throughout the game.
The crew consists of three main positions. Blocker, Scout, and Drafter.
Blocker: blocks out other racers while activated and helps widen your lead. Lest used member for me as he can't keep up on the later races.
Scout: shows you every shortcut on the map as you are racing while activated. Good for the most part but hard on newer races and the shortcuts aren't always the best in my eyes.
Drafter: while activated cruises in front of you and gets you extra speed, you can also use it to follow through tight spots. One downfall is while in the draft he/she may lead you into cars and it's also hard to get out of draft once in.
Canyon races are a two part race, first of which you follow you opponent down the canyone and try to stay as close as possible. The closer you are the more points. Second run it's the opposite while you are in front and he/she follows, the closer they are the more points they get. Two ways to win; first is obviously have points left at the end of your second run. Second is to pass him and stay in the lead for at least ten seconds. You can also fly off the edge on some sharp corners which is an automatic loss. Be careful while trying to pass becuse if you bump him you lose 5000 points.
Oline this game is a good racer, and has a few new modes you can play with friends. Modes with cops and what not.
Overall this game is a great one and the replay value is rather high but what NFS game isn't. Get this game from gamefly and then buy it at the pre-played price.
