Average Game

Strengths: Fun for the firt day

Weakness: Very easy

The game has good graphics but it's very easy. This game would be good for 13-14 year old because it is that easy. Would think twice about purchasing this game over again.

Not one of my favorite NFS Games

Strengths: Graphics and unique storyline

Weakness: Limited "courses", somewhat difficult game play

The premise of the game is solving your brother's death. You have to control the city by defeating other crews using your skill and wingmen. You earn cash to upgrade and buy other cars. Unfortunately, the game play and story line gets stale really quickly and ultimately you only use a couple of cars. The game just doesn't have enough in it for me to want to finish it. Bummer because the other NFS...

Need for Speed Carbon

Strengths: Storyline

Weakness: worse than the last series: Most Wanted

I used to play the former series, Need for Speed Underground and Need for Speed Most Wanted. I donot know what happened to its development team. But it is definitely worse than former series. Its story is interesting as usual, but control, racing schemes, and so on are not so good. I cannot recommend this game, instead buy the former series.

Need for speed Carbon

Strengths: Gameplay, story line

Weakness: can be hard at some points

this is the second best Need for speed game that i have played. Most Wanted was the best racing game that i have ever played and then EA cam out with carbon i was compleatly satisfied with how both of them turned out. But as soon as pro street came out i rushed to the store to buy it took it home played it for about 5 min then got in my car and took it back.

On the major consoles, the series has attempted to reinvent itself while...
