I've been playing NFS games since the very first one (that I ran on my old 486 machine). I'm pretty disspointed with where they've gone with the series. I like my driving games to have at least a basis in reality, as far as the physics are concerned. The new ones are waaay too arcadey for me. Porsche Unleashed is the best one they ever came out with.

true, i had NFS and NFS2 on the ps1. that was back when they were more realistic, but then again, once GT and GT2 came out, the NFS series had to step back. they really had no choice, if they were to continue with just exotics, they would have been eaten up by the Test Drive series.

Now theyve found their niche again, making games that are more fun and less based on reality, where you can turn at 120mph if you have the right setups.

I will probably get Carbon for the Wii. Yes, damn straight! I SAID WII!!!!

[wiarumas]

let me know if either of them are any good.

I was thinkin about goin and picking carbon up for the 360...

[bluemustang]

is the new NFS game only on 360?

man i needa buy a 360 wtf

[Thomas91169]

no, NFS isnt retarded and knows they can make lots of money by making a game for all platforms.

I would get NFS Carbon, but I'd only play it on my computer so it'll have incredible graphics. Problems though, my Nvidia card fucking blows.

I'm in the process of getting a new mother board and changing the setup to a PCI Express card. I don't know how much it'll cost me, but I'm not looking forward to it.. but when it's all finished I'll be up to date again.

Dual Core system with a PCI Express card.. yum

BTW if you guys played the demo of it, you'd see that you can change lots of features on the bodykits to even the rims. You can get really detailed in what you could do.

I bought Final Fantasy XII, and the Guide to it yesterday, and apparently the game is huge, you can look at the guide and tell, much bigger than FF X. I haven't started playing it though because I'm finishing up another game. As far as the new NFS, I don't think I will buy it after the last game. I couldn't get to the last few guys, and I was going through to many controllers.

You sound like Brent, with the controller breaking game play lol.

agreed, MW was absolutely amazing. I loved every minute of it, I think I even took a screenshot of my longest chase. I think it was.. 40 minutes lol That was pretty intense, and I got away. It was a great game, especially since you were able to drive in the Ford GT.

I just re-installed Carbon and downloaded new drivers for both my video card and DirectX and the game ran flawlessly. I can see they changed the drifting mechanisms, I'm now sure if that's a good thing but I beat all the courses in the demo mode.

The drifting took awhile, and the canyon took me a try or two until I was able to just get in front of the guy and beat him that way.

Best car in the demo, I'd probably have to say the Evo IX - MR. Handles great, crappy top speed, but in Canyon-Drifting it doesn't matter. Sprint it was just pretty easy no matter what car you have.

I do like how you can make the Camaro have a huge engine look to it though lol
