Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City (Review)

Nov 27, 2006

As the steadfastly popular Need for Speed series rolls on each year, EA's modus operandi is simple - keep enough of the stuff that folks love, then add in some new wrinkles that'll excite the fan base. When it comes to Nintendo's dual-screen gem, there are already a few stupendously fun titles available (Mario Kart DS, anyone?). So what new-fangled razzmatazz does their latest street racing effort bring to the table? Good thing you asked. The piece de resistance in Carbon: Own the City is the ...

NFS Carbon trailer (News)

Oct 17, 2006

DS doesn't have many racing games to its name but it can still keep up with the big boys, as this trailer for Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City proves. Just hit the Movies tab to see it. The movie shows flashy street racing action, comic-style cutscenes (much like those in the PSP version of the game) and also gives us a taster of the car modification options. Of course, it's unlikely the incredibly comprehensive Autosculpt mode from the console versions will feature fully, but it's nice to ...

Need For Speed Carbon (Preview)

Jul 14, 2006

At EA's recent Studio Showcase 06, we got a glimpse of the future of one of the most popular racing franchises in gaming history (next to Gran Turismo, of course). The tricked-out racing rides of Need For Speed are back and even more customizable than ever - with hyper-tense, high stakes tracks to match. To start, EA has added a new feature called Auto Sculpt that blows the doors off of the term "vehicle customization." Instead of simply strapping on pre-formed after-market parts to your sleek ...

Jul 11, 2006

The star of Saw 2, 40 Days and 40 Nights and the sitcom Two and a Half Men has landed a starring role in Need for Speed Carbon.

Vaugier will play Nikki, the ex-girlfriend of Need for Speed Carbon's hero. The actress was directed by Hollywood veteran David Footman on the recent live action shoot for the game. The green screen shoot used techniques to make the live action actors appear computer generated yet retain as much of their performance as possible

Need for Speed leaves the city (News)

Jun 23, 2006

There's hardly a rim left to tweak in the Need for Speed universe, so perhaps that's why the series is once again wandering into the wilderness in search of new thrills. EA's newly announced Need for Speed Carbon slams you onto perilous canyon roads that twist and turn through dusty, gusty outdoor settings, but don't worry, you'll still be managing a pimped-out runnin' ...
