Take it from someone who sells them November 8, 2006
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

I bought this game and thought it was a lot of fun. I also sell games in a store and could not help but notice how much sells had dropped from NFSUG2 to NFSMW and NFSC. I started to wonder why, and noticed small kids also bought this game and their was no easy mode in the last two. I know their are some awesome gamers out there who love the challenge of the normal mode, but their are also some younger kids who just can't play the game on the normal mode. I like the normal mode of this game it is challenging and fun, but as someone who sells them. I also seen the point of getting as many sold as possible, and EA is losing money on all the ones their not selling. I feel they should put back in the easy, medium, and hard modes. That way the kids will buy it and more money will be made, while those of us who like a challenge can still have our fun too.

Great Idea And Game Setup... But Bad Quality Control November 11, 2006
5 out of 8 found this review helpful

I have been waiting for this game ever since "Need For Speed: Most Wanted" came out... And after an hour or so playing it, I ran into a HUGE problem.

And I have been wanting this game since I first heard about it because of a)all the cllasic musclecars including HEMI Cudas and Challengers and camaros all the kicka$$ mopars and other oldies and prototype cars in it and b)the near "Midnight Club 3: Dub edition" amount of automotive customizing and mayhem you can, or in this case "SHOULD HAVE" been able to do.

Here's what's wrong.... Whenever I try to use their so called "Auto Sculpt" car customization feature to modify a car and make it all pretty so I can look good while thrashing the car I just customised... I'll finish spending somtimes an hour customizing a car just to find out that the system freezes up whenever it has to goto the next loading point and the only way to save it all involves going through a loading point... Meaning all the work I did isn't saved. X_x There are a few other blatent bugs and glitches, such as certain unlockable items and vehicles not unlocking after the set amount of tasks are done, but they don't really take away from the fun as much as a freeze up does.

Now this may only be the Collectors edition that has this freeze up problem... Though I tested it on the original PS2 and the newer Slim PS2 with and without cheat codes and got the same result EVERY time. But it is still really bad that it happens in the first place. I already exchanded it for another new copy thinking the first copy I had was just a bad copy... But the problem is still there no matter how many times I exchange the game.

Overall this is a well done game for this series... Maybe even the best... But this freeze up glitch is just unacceptable for a company of EAs size and fanbase.

NFS: Carbon, Less than expected. December 20, 2006
5 out of 7 found this review helpful

When it comes to the NFS series we all have been blown away but, Carbon falls short. The muscle cars are a cool new addition but it doesn't cover all of the mistakes in the game. As in old Atari racing games, the car would sit still and the road would move and turn and, this is what NFS: Carbon feels like. Its like going back in time, and it makes it hard to see where you are going. Another mistake is EA took away drag racing. I enjoyed drag quite a bit in the past NFS games as did everyone else. The Canyon was a fresh Idea but, the while racing against the computer and you pass them it would seem as if they had a boost and they would pass you right back. A major improvement for drifting though, you had figure out the handling of the car. No two cars were the same. In my opinion, there were too few drifting events. I mastered them in no time flat. Overall unless your a die hard NFS fan, don't buy the game. It is a dissapointment in almost every aspect.

The Hero Returns Home November 11, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

EA has been quit busy with these Need For Speeds Games. Our hero who just happened to escape from Rockport City. Away from Lt. Cross who decides to leave Rockport to get back at our hero. Once again the BMW M3 GTR which was
ruined in the first 5 mins of Most Wanted because of Razor now it's Lt. Cross who decides to wreck it in the first 2 mins of the game. Overall I'm about 30% into the game and I can say that the game has it's ups and and downs. The UP's Muscle Cars galor ranging from the 1969 Chevy Camaro to the 2006 Camaro Concept. Night Mode, the return of Drifts back to the UG scene.
The Downs-Compare to UG2 and Most Wanted they mostly remove the europeans cars like Audi out of the game espically the A3, TT, A4. The cop chases are the same recording from Most Wanted. No custom gauges of tach's. Rain changes. With the exception of the Subaru Impreza WRX STi which had a face
lift this year EA needs to get more cars other than the usual cars I seen since UG1. They need to retire the Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline GTR, Nissan 240 SX, practically no one uses these cars in the last 3 games other the cray tuners I knew in UG2 online.

Not bad for a sequal for Most Wanted hopefully the Hero will have another encounter with Cross to settle things.

What Happened EA? December 1, 2006
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

At first I was hyped up about this game, but after playing it for a week, it just was not fun anymore.

First off the graphics of this game when racing look too cartoonish, like racing in a cartoon race.

There's also no drag races in this game, you can't have a NFS game without no drag, wake up. The Drift racing was a complete pain because it's like driving on ice, I had to restart the race 5 times, just to get it right.

The pursuits are also a pain, it takes almost forever to lose the cops, and if you lose and look for a cool down spot, they find you again and you're back in pursuit. I did not have this problem in Most Wanted

The only good side is they have muscle cars, tuners, and exotics. It really kills it when you add spoilers to a muscle car, it looks so wierd.

Plus I ended up selling at a local Gamestop, because not only I did not like it, but every now and then it freezes up on me.

Keep your money, if you want better pursuits, get Most Wanted, or NFS Hot Pursuit 2. Want a better drift or want drag, get the Underground series.
