If you haven't played the Need for Speed games for the PS2, it is mainly an arcade style racing game wherein you commence with only a single car to use and you have to contend in all the game's challenges. For this game, you have to continually enhance the car you're driving or purchase a new one to make sure you will prevail over your competition as they are going to get tougher as you move further along the game.

The three types of cars that you will be using in Need for Speed are Tuner, Muscle, and Exotic. No matter which of these types of cars you choose as your starter, later on you will be able to unlock other types of cars different from what you initially have. This will also enable you to have a nice variety of cars in your collection.

The latest edition of the Need for Speed game series on the PS2, just as the earlier games in the series, it is easy to master and play with the game's controls. It is quite sensitive as you would have expected from a gaming heavyweight like EA. Those parts in the game wherein you have to 'drift' round the Canyon Corners could be quite disappointing as you might end up braking heavily just to keep your car from going over the cliff.

The boost button is one other thing that needs pointing out when you talk about this game. Because the controls of this game are quite similar with the controls for the Burnout games, it is easy to get confused among the two. But you have to remember that the boost button used for Burnout is L1, while that of the Need for Speed is R1.

Need for Speed Carbon features quite a diverse lineup of artists signed up for this edition. And to help achieve the kind of atmosphere it is aiming for, EA has employed the use of songs and sound effects to make every gaming experience as real as it can get. Also the overall feel and mood of the game makes it so much easier for the player to integrate himself into the fantasy world of the game because it feels so real as it is. EA has even gone to as far as recording real-life car models like Porsche's, Lamborghini's, Mitsubishi's, etc. to be used in the game.

For this edition, there are some exciting new Drift races that you can compete in but you can finish up the entire race without having to run a single one. The game is also comparably shorter than Most Wanted because the latter would require you to complete the Blacklist, aside from pitting against 14 bosses (compared to only 4 for Carbon).

The key to getting the best out of every experience while playing this game is always to upgrade your cars. If you want, you can make use of the Autosculpt feature that lets you personalize the look and settings of your car by utilizing any possible combination that your imagination would like to try. That would be a perfect little touch to a game that, although lacks an online feature, has got enough offline activity to keep your gaming time worthwhile.
