Your Thoughts about NFSC...
Unfinished game....
No game should make you have to buy a certain system to be able to experience the whole game.
I beat it, got bored, and have been playing the Ace Combat series lately.

Even on the Wii, the game is extremely short, I only played it for a couple hours a day and I'm done half the entire game after 2 days. And what ever happened to 20 racers? All I see is 3 other cars, one of which is my useless teammate who says, "I can't catch up man, they're too fast!" while the opponents are all behind him. And EA probably made Carbon a night-time game so they could have an excuse for no traffic.
I love and hate NFS:C , it just about sums up a disappointing year for EA . For me it just wasn’t what Most wanted was . Most Wanted you could just make a car and rag it round the city and ever so often something magical would happen . The police chases in MW were crazy ! You had to really out drive them at time and hide really carefully at times but it seems with Carbon its just a matter of waiting till the police make a wrong turn .
The auto-sculpt - This is a cool idea , I think that its more aimed at console users myself . For me though , I would rather spend a-few hours on photo-shop making my own car and importing it in. WHY EA has a problem with people designing their own cars in photo-shop I don't know . EA just seem to love making our lives that little bit more harder :S .
Crews - /exe "bang head on desk" . AI ? NO ! This seems to be EA messing with our heads AGAIN ! I lost countless races b/c my "crew member" kept getting in the way and in some cases forcing me off the road ! . I ended up just using the blocker coz they tend to sit behind you :S .
Drift mode - Whilst this was quite hard to get to grips with , the drifting was lush ! AND REALLY addictive ! I really don’t think that there was enough of it tho T_T
The Cars - EA actually gave us a respectable car to start in /bow . Unfortunately they didn’t mention that I'd be stuck with it for half the game >.< . By the time I got my 350z I was just finishing the game off . Wtf ?
Graphics - Not even my 12 year old brother copy and pastes other peoples work and trys to pass it off as his own . NFS:C Really needs its own engine . My computer is more than powerful enough to run the game at max graphics yet there are still consistant errors .
Online - The only race worth doing online is the canyon duels , its the only race where n00bs cant just use their trainers and nitrous the whole race bouncing off of the walls . I play a wide range of games online and NFS C is THE worst game for cheaters !
whilst this game is fun in places , it just seems like the game isn’t finished . EA just keep making NFS games every year and I really don’t think their putting enough time and effort into them . With titles like TDU ( test drive unlimited ) coming out I REALLY think EA need to pull something out their ass to save their series .
Bam’s score 4/10

I think part of the magic in Most Wanted is the realistic Day/Night shifts, so it's not such a dull, gloomy environment all the time. And I think Most Wanted was really great because it brought back the racing/cop theme and had the limited customization to allow us to concentrate on the real essence of Need For Speed. If EA made a Most Wanted with amazing graphics, more cars, and more tracks with the neat vinyl system from Carbon, the game would be enough to satisfy me.
My only complain of NFSC (you guys already covered most of it) is that there's no LAN mode! In a country where Internet are such a slow poke at times made it useless to play NFSC online, the absence of LAN mode made NFSC popularity went down after like 3 weeks on the market.
I believe if there's a LAN mode, NFSC could maintain some of their popularity, at least for the people that into tournaments e.g WCG etc.
My rating: 6.5/10

Hey dudes stop whining about NFSHP2- Apart from the ROFLcopters it was a great game
I just have beat the NFSC. Was a kind of a short game... the worst parts:
1) As it has been happening for the 4 latest games, the scenario is a chaotic and irracional city. Every street seems each other, and it's kinda impossible to memorize a track, though the player feels like he's driving over the same streets all the time. Annoying.
2) The most interesting cars are unlocked when there are only 5-10 events to finish the game.
3) The performance upgrades are unlocked without any sense. i.e. I just beat Darius and it was unlocked: Professional Suspension (level 2) and Professional Brakes (level2). while the Racing Suspension and Brakes (level 3) are unlocked in previous, regular events. I mean... WTF? Darius is supposed to be the final event... why are level 2 parts unlocked there?
4) the most buggy videogame ever. i.e. It was no possible to exit the Credits screen when game was finished. I had to press Ctrl+Alt+Del
5) ending: wtf? a Nikki painting at the left, and a piece of text saying game was over. Darius final video was nice, but what happens with Cross?
6) what happens with the BMW M3? another piece of text: "your car has been totalled after your incident with Sgt Cross". ---> Texts mean low quality and lazyness!
7) I dont want a 5th need for speed underground please back to the roots. No more cities, etc.

I agree, especially about the bugs, and the ending. And the BMW M3 could have just been explained in the scenes as in. "Your car is totalled, please pick one of these three..." maybe there could have even been an animated explanation about what each of the three cars is good for. Yes, there is no logic to performance upgrades either. And who's Bojan, Razkit? And what kind of "back to the roots" do you want? ME, I have no problem with the cities. Just mix in some backroads, more "canyon" roads, and highways as well.

yeah kind of a n00b, but it certainly seems to me that there is a very easy way to solve all the problems with the game. Simply the time tested method of allowing, and even encouraging hacking. Yes, you heard me. This way, not only could the fans of the series fix all ea's mistakes in this game, but because we fix it ea doesn't (they dont have to put money in it), and they can also see what is changed, and be able to tell exactly what we want in the next game. Oh, and btw, by hack i dont mean making cars fly or whatever, i mean like custom cars etc., i guess mod is a better word but, just thought id throw that out there.
