    Uh... M&M?

    M&M, at the start of the game there is a WARNING not to do ANYTHING that you see on the game.

    Criminal behavior encouraged

    I was simply shocked to see that you are encouraged to trick and avoid cops. In fact, after seeing a police car flip over, the game cheers you on further. I had relied on the E10+ rating to buy this for my son and had to yank it away. How does a company like EA get away with incenting such blatantly criminal (and violent) attitudes for 10 year olds?

    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence

    The Best Car Game!!!

    What is SO fun about this game is that you can get police's attention and they chase you. AWESOME!!

    Horrible!

    I don't really like this game. To be honest I don't even like any of the car chasing games. But my brother is so into this. -Bummer-

    Not the best NFS game

    I am a big NFS fan, and I really liked this game, but not as much as some of the other ones. The racing is great, the graphics are good, and autosculpt customization is really fun. CSM does have one thing wrong with the message though. If you get busted you get impound strikes and stuff and you can lose your career! I know lots of racing games get beaten down for bad messages on this site, but if you watch the busted video and stuff it isnt really inspiring me to race through a city. I give this a solid 10 and up, its not iffy at 10, and you might not appreciate it at 9.

    need for carbon report

    this report was written by the R,S,L game club (www.rslgameclub.webs.com) It is a very good game but the only thing bad with it is that there is no good tracks. There is a very good voice sounding like the real police. the graphics are okay. But it has free roam which allows you to go out of the races and run a muck but be careful of the town police witch are always watching you 24 7.This is not the only Need for speed game. there is a lot more out there. there a lots of different Need for speed carbon games on Nintendo DS. On free roam there is lots of short cuts through out the city. There is also lots of “rival crew challenges” in the free roam mode. There is lots of unlockables through out the game. There is some things that you can go through to crash down. The record for the most police after somebody on Need for speed carbon is 55 that we heard of. The races are very easy at the start of the career but it gets harder when you get into it. some tracks a good but some are bad. You can unlock lots of crew members so you can choose witch crew member to drive the car you have brought. You can unlock special kits when you complete a race in first place or near the car in first place. The game it self is a very good game. The cars you race against can be a bit pushy some times in races but the police are very pushy. There is lots and lots of cars to buy from the car shop. The cars include Mazda, Alfa romeo, Chevrolet and many more. The game is based on the races, police and The canyons. The tracks get bigger as you complete the career. There is the four types of races, they are drift, drag, grip and challenge series On the screen it includes a mini map, speed, gear, tachometer and nitrous gauge. On free roam when you are getting chased by police it also includes number of police after you and cars that you have disabled. You can represent a class, you can choose from tuner, muscle or exotic. In challenge series you can race on the canyons and win meddles but be careful of crashing off the canyon and loosing. There s also quick race witch is just a quick race around town. There is lot of reward cards to earn. Rating:9.5 By: Luke

    not as good as most wanted

    Carbon underuses the cops and gives pusuits no value or importance. The new autosculpt feature is cool but the cars aren't much different. But its still fun to play.

    well, racing just wasnt made for motion censing

    Need for speed carbon is a great game. You portray a street racer. The is no objectional content except for a girl in some skimpy clothing. Its just not that great of a game.

    Be careful...

    It's a fun game, but with a bad message. I think it's for mature teens who know that it's a bad idea to break driving laws.
