Carbon number 10 on best selling list
Carbon number 10 on best selling list
Next-Gen.biz put together a list of best selling game titles across all systems in North America in 2006.
Need for Speed Carbon hit a very high 10th place with 1.6 million copies sold and $74 million revenue. The best sold game was another EA title, Madden NFL 07 with 6.5 million sold and $300 million revenue. There are a few interesting conclusions in the original article, including the fact that only 3 games in the top 20 scored less that 75% average - consumers do know what is good!
The top 100 list is available here.

You know what could be fun? making the racing game (At least if its gonna be used:) a nice long story with substance but combined with nice open ranged racing with minimal tuning (no uber ricing bs like neons and hydros) Maybe like GT with a story, bigger range like TDU and one or two acutal manufactured bodykits

i would like to say it's a good game, had intent to buy it but after i tried it i was UTERLY disapointed. i think people like it ,those that do, as it is new, "improved" from predecesor and got new features and thats enough to keep it on the hard drive. as for me, it gives me no thrill. to get some of that i put on again underground so i have a proper realistish place to drift as carbon is completly useless for me in that area.
carbon is fantastic for personal tuning, people can tailor a car exactly to their taste and standard, its great. Yes the bodykits may not be the best, but the ones available are good enough. Rims are also a great asset in carbon, so many eye-watering designs. To sum up, I think most of us secretly like carbon, although at face value it seems like quite a poor game.

Fishwhiz, you've tried to prove your point numerous times, if they don't want to listen, no need to blow a gasket trying to make them listen.
My opinion on Carbon (Since I don't think or remember me saying it sucks specifically):
A pretty ok game with some highlight modes such as, Canyon Racing
Customization: 8 (Would have been 9 or 10 if not for the return of MW bodys and not seperate bodykit parts)
Highlights: Autosculpt, Custom vinyl placement, Huge list of rim selection, Custom body lowering, Juiced like paint but not completely
Not so great: "Bodys" instead of separate bodykit parts
Gameplay:7
Highlights:Crew members, Race Wars (PC users)
Not so great: Very retarded crew member AI, sloppy AI, and short career mode.
Graphics: 9
Highlights: Nicer nighttime area, realistic paints on car when ingame
Not so great:Not much here except if you are gaming on a "Current-Gen" console such as the PS2, Xbox, or Gamecube (This especially for the Gamecube); the other racers cars will look crappier and all the gfx will be mostly applied to your car.
Overall: 8
IMO, I think this game was given a bit too much hype by EA and other fans, so when they spent the $40 or $60(Next-Gen) and they got the results of the game they like a lot of the community members here, were kinda or really weewee'd off about the results but I think that EA just wants to deliver with quick games because they think that the NFS series is needed every single year by customer demand but if any of us had the chance and I think we do (since the EA guy is here and all) we'd tell him that the game doesn't need to be rushed. and if you take at least 2 years to develop the game and not rush it off (resulting in shorter storyline because it looks like they put more work into the graphics than the actual game) so if EA is gonna do that they should either return to the HP2 (or any Exotic type NFS) format of game and just make it graphics+game-storyline or just game+storyline/graphics because any other would just result in a crappy game to me.

HOWEVER!!!.. If youve played all the previous NFS titles and dont have parents to buy the game for you, dont waste your own money.
i wasted mine on carbon... so don't make the same mistake as me...
