Video Game Reviews of Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City
Customer Review: Fun for a while
Summary: 3 Stars
Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City finds the latest edition in EA's long running street racing series getting shrunk down for the DS. Now, before you go thinking this game will be a terrible translation (much like Burnout Legends was a while back, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted on the DS anyway), think again. Carbon improves on the previous year's Most Wanted on the DS by delivering a solid number of tracks, cars, and customization options to keep racers happy for a while. Also, it's worth noting the wingman addition works better here than it does on the game's larger console bretheren, and makes the game all the more fun. However, Carbon has it's share of flaws as well. Most notably are the game's graphics which consist of combinations of smooth 3-D and blocky and bulky elements as well. Not to mention that there are also more noticable missing elements in the translation to the DS, which hurts the replay value. That being said though, the good outweighs the bad here. New upgrades and the opponent AI are welcome pluses, while the multiplayer mode is where Carbon absolutely shines brightest. There aren't too many better racers for the DS at the moment, so right now, you can do a whole lot worse than Need for Speed Carbon. All in all, Carbon is definitely worth a look for racing fans seeking to burn solid rubber on their DS without any Nintendo mascots in the action.
