Need for Speed Carbon

EA today announced the soundtrack for their upcoming game Need For Speed Carbon. Developed in Vancouver, B.C. by EA Blackbox Need for Speed Carbon will be available on November 1, 2006 in North America and Europe.

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

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'

Best-Selling Racing Title to Hit the Streets this Autumn

Details on Need For Speed Carbon have been monoxidously thin since its name first appeared at E3 last month, but a few scans have popped up from US and UK magazines this week offering more of an outline. NFS Carbon - apparently so called due of its relationship with Carbon Canyon in California, where racers often meet up to drive around very fast and probably race for pinks and the like - is due out on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, PS2, Xbox and PSP this winter. Those of you wondering whether it shares more in common with the ludicrously popular Need For Speed Underground games or the recent Most Wanted digression will probably find elements of both, by the sound of it, with lots of cop chases but also a definite sense of building up a crew.
