picked up NFS carbon for my son for his B-day and lo and behold the first race is with a green Toyota Matrix.

haha, no way! that's awesome. can u tell yet if it is a good game or not? the advertisements make it look really cool

wait just one second, you let you son race a Matrix... Gotta ask you one thing...did he win?

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 10:25 am

its a pretty good game... just too short... im just doing drifting courses cuz they are fun.

coldmm803 · Post by **coldmm803** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 10:29 am

sry to burst the bubble but theres no matrix in the game, i just checked the car list and the closest thing is a mazda speed3my roomate has the game and hes been playin iti dont like the graphics for the buildings i think nfs underground 2 was better

scherry2 · Post by **scherry2** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 11:07 am

sure looks like the toyota emblem on the car when the car was right in front of my son. and it was a neighborhood challenge for cash not the car. even down to the shape of the front and the 1/4 glass. I'll look again but that Toyota emblem is one of a kind.I stand corrected it is a mazda.

I saw a trailer for this and it sure as heck looks like a Matrix. I'm planning on buying this for my son as well, for Christmas.

I want, but I'm unemployed and broke though, so if anyone was thinking of sending a X-Mas , NFSC for the X-360, Collector's Edition please!

to which place TX or CA i think we (me and my gf) can think of away to get it to you.yea the game looks cool from all of the screen shots i have seen and yes there is no Trix or Vibe in Carbon.the only hatchback cars in this game are: 2005 Renault Clio V6 2006 Volkswagen Golf R32 2007 Mazda 3 MPS (Mazda Speed 3)

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Wed Nov 15, 2006 2:18 pm

Took the Post Office test Monday, 4 freakin hours! Then they told us it will be 8-10 wks before we get the results! Good thing if I passed it I will be at the top of the list! Disabled Veteran has it priveledges! + I get 10 extra points, too! Unfortunately that means I need to get a job to keep making the bills, which is hard looking for a full time(40hrs) job that pays decent($12/hr min)! Xmas is gonna suck this year! Good thing my kid is only 2 so he won't really notice! Sorry, off topic here!

I still have my PSP (which I am debating selling as well), my PS2 which is in my storage in TX right now (and may go into my car someday down the road), and my 360. Let me know when you make another trip down here though so we can hang out or whatever.!

yeah were debating on goin up there before december. just lots of things going on here. so ill definately let you know whats going on.Now... back on topic!Theres also a corolla hatchy in there.

Mugen · Post by **Mugen** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 6:02 am

I like the drifting in Carbon, but I think Underground 2 and Most Wanted were better overall.

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Thu Nov 16, 2006 12:13 pm

They need to take Gran Turismo and cross it with need for speed. The NFS series is not very realistic but the customization and sound of the engines and stuff are phenominal....Gran Turismo is rediculously realistic but there is NOTHING to customize and the car's sound so boring it's not even funny. Plus you can't even do burnouts...(removed) kinda game is that.

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 11:03 am

I hate Canyon races! The last area of this game is kicking my @$$!

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 11:20 am

what are you driving? I was using the SLR and smoked em all the way to the end....

I started with the foreign sports car, drove it until the middle of the second stage, but I won the Aston Martin from the 1st guy, also won the RX-7 but it's crap, so right now still driving the AM. Unlocked quite a few cars, been waiting to spend my $400,000 until I am sure what I want! Can't beat the damn Lambo with my AM in the Canyon race. All the others are Canyon races too. Unlocked the Hemi Cuda, 350Z, SLR, and Ford GT so far. SLR and GT are EXPENSIVE! Trying to get the $500k reward card too, so I figured I'd wait to buy a new car thinking I could deal with my AM, but racing a bunch of Tier 3 cars like Lambos and Carrera GT's are kicking my @$$!

lol i need to get it for my PC

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 12:45 pm

i got carbon aswell..i didnt like it as much as the others..not sure why tho..but i loved the canyon races..really glad they took the drag races out..

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 1:36 pm

yea most of those drag races were a royal pain in the (removed)

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 2:35 pm

Personally I loved the drag races. They were an easy way to make cash...unlike the circuits that were like 6 laps and it never failed, you would ALLWAYS get passed on the last lap and end up losing...waste of time, I broke a few controllers during the circuits in underground 1 and 2.Damron, I forgot about the $500,000 reward card! I should have saved up for that first now I'll never make it. After you beat career mode you only get $500 per race....that means I would have to win 1000 races in order to get htat reward card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started with the Camaro cause I'm a muscle car kinda guy, then used the Aston Martin like you until I got money for the SLR. It took me some time to beat the Mucielago in the canyon as well but after buying the final stage S/C it wasn't a problem. I beat all the challenges and won the 240sx and a few others. Also won myself a firetruck!There is a '91 MR2 taht you drive one of the conyon drift challenge missions so I wonder if you can unlock that car at some point??? That would be awesome, I love those cars. Also in the special edition I got the 2007 Camaro and the Koenigseg CCX....those are fun to drive. Too bad you can't buy them in career mode

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 4:10 pm

should i get this for the wii....or just play it on ps2, xbox and psp....mmmm

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 5:10 pm

I would say forget about Wii. Nintendo in my mind rotates more around kids/cartoony type games, party games and stufff like that. I think you should just play it on PS2 or Xbox. I was thinking about getting 360 instead of waiting til I can afford a PS3 because I played that new Test Drive game and it is UNREAL how realistic looking, sounding and playing it is...

mcgusto82 · Post by **mcgusto82** » Sat Dec 16, 2006 10:30 pm

i stopped liking the Need For Speed games since "high stakes" Undergorund was such a deviation from the classic series. I might get a 360. Actually i'm debating weather i should get my wife a new laptop for christmas, or get myself a 360.

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Sun Dec 17, 2006 5:24 am

Oh the wii has made video games fun for me again. Theres some ps2 game i like (shadow of colossus, god of war, gt4, socom for example) but xbox games wow they bore me. I never get into video games any more because i get bored so fast and its almost a hassle to play. but the wii (removed) is freaking sweet. I already have 4 games plus wii sports. Excite truck is just amazing, it never gets old. i think ill rent nfs for the wii, i have gt pro series but yea nfs lately is starting to get old. they need to bring back hot pursuit that game was amazing.as for the wii being kiddie? haha naw far cry has blood etc. i think the wii will turn the kiddie stereo type around, they are in talks of bringing GTA to the wii as well . Theres a lot more adult rated games for the wii than gamecube coming out in the future.

damronjr · Post by **damronjr** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 1:40 pm

Forgot to mention, but I beat it a couple of days ago. Finally broke down and bought the SLR, sure enough that was all it took. After that it was pretty much downhill. Never bought another car, got the $500k, but I don't know how the F I'm going to get the $1M! Working on the misc crap now. 1 day we should all post up pics of our cars!

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 3:21 pm

Yeah that's a good idea....I sold the SLR, a little too crazy for me so I bought the Murcielago....now I have about $5000...only $995,000 left to go!!! That's about 995 challenge races only!

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 4:15 pm

i got it for my pc but i need a new DVD drive mine crapped out on me. we can have a post you NFS cars here like Need For Speed Unlimited does

Merzbow · Post by **Merzbow** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 12:32 am

Some of those people, like when I played online came up with the UGLIEST color/rim/body appearances I have ever seen in my entire life.....some of those people you are deeply greatful don't own a real car. They would have like a green car with purple neons and like red rice lists with giant purple spoilers and multicolored body graphics....very irritating.

Looks like the NFSMW pics would come out a lot lighter and better than the NFSC pics. They are really dark and hard to see, but maybe I can adjust some settings to get them to come out better.
