詳細描述
The battle for the city is won in the canyon as Need for Speed™ Carbon immerses you in the world’s most dangerous and adrenaline-filled form of street racing.
As the police turn up the heat and force the races to the outskirts of the city, the battle ultimately shifts to Carbon Canyon, where territories and reputations can be lost on every perilous curve. Racing has never felt so dangerous where every turn is a matter of life or death.
For the first time in a Need for Speed game, build a crew and race in an all-out war for your city against rival crews and opposing car classes. You’ll risk everything to take over rival neighborhoods one street at a time.
Each crew member has unique skills that you trigger during races to give you the winning edge over opponents. Call on a Blocker to create a distraction and slow down other racers or activate a Scout to lead you to shortcuts on the track.
Use your creativity to design your crew’s cars with the revolutionary new Autoscuplt™ car customization tool that gives you the power to turn every vehicle into the car you’ve always wanted. Using next generation morphing technology every car can have its own unique look like never before.
Need for Speed Carbon features a fresh new story line using full motion capture technology. Unlock the mystery of what happened “that fateful night” and reclaim your reputation. The game features star talent Emmanuelle Vauiger as Nikki, your ex-girlfriend who will help you on your journey to uncover the past.
Rented it out I'll be buying this copy when the US version is available. I had in on XBOX 360 and loved it, and i rented it for my ps3 the other day and got through 75% of it... love the game, its hugely re-playable. Graphics are wicked, but I have so say, just a little bit more jaggies are visible in ps3 version and frame rate suffers at times, particularly in multiplayer.
Need For Speed: Carbon Is it possible to milk the Need For Speed (NFS) franchise any more? Electronic Arts, the game's maker, obviously thinks so. The first title came out in 1994 and the latest NFS Carbon marks the twelfth time the racing series has rejuvenated itself. But instead of getting more challenging for veteran fans, the series has been increasingly dumbed down. It looks prettier than ever with a new glossy coat of paint, but the races are getting a little too easy. The premise is simple -- win a myriad of car races, improve your car's performance, and then fight to become the top racer in town. Since NFS Underground (2004), the series has also emphasised the "zhng" factor, or how you can improve the look of your car with paint jobs and accessories. But strangely, the car's performance is never affected. How is it that it can run just as fast after bulky bumpers and side panels are installed?
NFS Carbon also cashes in on the recent "drifting craze", popularised by the movies Initial D and The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift. Drifiting basically refers to how cars are made to skid at high speeds around tight corners, and in Carbon, the "drift races" take place on treacherous mountain roads. Every time you go up against the top drivers, they will challenge you to a two-part downhill drift match. You are required to keep close to your opponents when you give chase or pull away as far as possible when they are on your tail. The first time you play this, you will probably keep crashing through dividers and over the cliff because your car's handling is simply the pits. The low difficulty also applies to other types of races in the game (circuit, speed trap and sprints).
To make the solo game even easier, you now get a "wing man", who can help you block off opponents, find shortcuts or slingshot your vehicle ahead. They do help a bit, but it's frustrating when they end up blocking your way. Even more annoying is the fact that your wing man can win the race for you. Where is the satisfaction in that? Police chases crop up in the game once again, but they pose little challenge as well. With all that said, people will probably still go out and buy NFS Carbon for the love of the cars. There are favorites like the Subaru Impreza WRX, BMW M3 GTR, Mercedes CLK 500, Lotus Elise, Porsche Cayman and new muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger, all ready to be customised to your liking. Take note that PC users will need a really powerful computer to run the game at smooth frame rates. NFS Carbon is also available for the Xbox 360.
