4.0 out of 5 stars A game made for 1 player, 1 Jan 2007

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I bought this game for my daughter (age 13) for christmas. She loves racing and since I have 3 girls age 9, 12 and 13, I had to choose something that will keep her interest. I felt Cars (for ds) would have been to easy after reading reviews...therefore I chose Need for speed Carbon. This is a great racing game with great music (get yourself plug in earphone for sound quality) you have the ability to choose cars and build a car to your taste as you progress. You also have the ability to choose difficulty levels (ie heavy or light traffic) to keep interest. The only downfall is when playing in multi-level (more than 1 player). The music disappears and you have only a single track to choose from with a single card. Now... What bothers me the most is the loss of background music...sounds like I am winging...trust me... it just doesn't have the same effect when racing. You hear the sound of the car racing but without the music, it sounds just like noise. Its a shame because the kids enjoy racing but became quickly bored. My daughter races alone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great fun - to begin with ..., 14 Mar 2007

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
I play on racing games often - but this is my first one for the DS. And at first, it took me in.

First impression - 9/10 Great graphics, good handling coontrols, wingmen and good old nitrous.

Pick-up-and-go - 7-10 It is quite easy to get to grips with the game but setting up for a quick race may be confusing. Some of the options I had never heard of, like wingmen.

Graphics - 8/10 Good graphics on the racing cars and the tracks, but general traffic only has a few types of cars such as vans, taxis and normal cars, and they seem to have been ignored on the details.

Soundtrack - 4/10 Wow! It has real songs! Well, 20 seconds of each one and that's it. There are about 6 songs, each 20 seconds long before it fades out to the next one, therefore you hear the songs more than once each race.

Story - 5/10 Yes, it's a good story. You go round winning races to unlock parts, points and bosses. Once you complete one boss, you unlock the next zone to complete. Each time you gain reputation and a step closer to find out who killed your brother. I won't tell you who, but I think it is a rubbish ending to a decent plot.

Cars - 7/10 Some nice cars here. The DB9, a 911, Ford GT (a Clarkson favorite) but not enough spread. There are no very bad cars, and the first car (VW Golf GTI) is not that bad. The cars only vary when they have been upgraded, otherwise they are more or less the same.

Difficulty settings - 2/10 In short, there are none. I completed the game with the Golf on my first try. Not hard. This game has been made too easy without the option of being hard. Saying that though, the AI cars will change slightly so they are marginally too good for the Golf and too slow for the Aston Martin DB9. In theory.

Lasting appeal - 3/10 Once you complete the story, that is it. All you can do is the story again or single races, edited to your specifications. But there is no difficulty setting, apart from the amount of road traffic. I would not buy this game for a long time of planned play.

Overall - 5.6/10 Yeah, it's good fun for a day or two, but then sell it on; it is too repetitive, and the wireless link can be single pack, but you can't change the settings. Either buy it, play it, sell it; rent it; or don't buy it at all.
