Need For Speed Carbon On PS2
Written by Geoff Deehazer If you still have not sampled any of the Need for Speed games on the PS2, then it is chiefly an arcade style racing game where you start off with one car and unlock more as you run through all the game’s challenges.
Throughout Need for Speed Carbon, you have to continuously build up your car buying upgrades to make you better able to edge out more challenging competitors.
There are three classifications of cars to be used in this NFS game: Tuner, Muscle, and Exotic. Whichever you choose among these cars to drive, you’ll eventually unlock other types of cars, which is apart from your starter type.

While in one way it’s a shame we’re not getting a third-person adventure, Extraction would never have stood the comparison, especially considering how reliant its predecessor was on state-of-the-art graphics and sound design. Judging by the video above, the on-rails approach has allowed EA to really push the Wii, and create something which looks both great and pretty bloody scary.
