Review

When a sequel's not a sequel, the streets have no name, and the sun never shines - thank goodness...

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 ... » Read Full Need for Speed Carbon preview
