Friday's Gamer

Look. Play. Live. Touching 'em all at E3 2009.

Review: Need for Speed: Carbon

Posted by Adam MacDonald on July 3, 2007

Formats: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PC, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, DS, PlayStation Portable, Game Boy Advance and mobiles. Phew.

Cars. Racing. Customising. Seemingly on every console. That seems to be the recipe for NfS games. Unfortunately, it means EA have gone with the “lots of consoles=lots of money” adage, instead of the much more sensible “good game=lots of money”, which is a shame.

What’s more of a shame is that the actual game sucks but will do well in sales thanks to EA’s financial and marketing prowess. Save your dough, get Forza MotorSport 2 instead.

Judgement: 

Forza 2 does what this does, but much better. 70.
