Need For Speed Carbon [free fullversion car racing game]

Background

Need for Speed: Carbon was first shown in EA’s montage at Nintendo’s E³ 2006 conference and booth and was the cover story in the Game Informer magazine issue of July 2006. Carbon is the first in the Need for Speed series to be released for all seventh generation consoles. Carbon features some of cars of its predecessors; namely Need for Speed: Underground 2 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted, but also incorporates many new additions including the Audi Le Mans quattro, the Chrysler 300C SRT 8, Chevrolet’s Chevelle SS and the Toyota MR2 Spyder. Carbon features the Canadian actress and model Emmanuelle Vaugier as Nikki, the player’s main source of help and ally in the Career storyline. The game is now available for use with Mac OS X. Need for Speed: Carbon debuted at number one on the UK All Format Gaming Chart on its first week of release, beating Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer.
Controls

Control of the actual game play varies on among the different consoles. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 control steering through the use of their joysticks, while acceleration and braking as well as other controls can be configured and mapped to the different buttons on the controllers. On Windows, joysticks and wheel controllers are supported, as well as those that support force feedback.
The Wii lacks online game play, but fully supports the use of the Wii Remote.
Car customization

Carbon features a new car customization option called “Autosculpt”, enabling players to utilize aftermarket car parts and shape/mould the parts to their liking. Players can also have multiple customed vinyls as well. Performance tuning has been redone so that players, as upgrades are purchased, can tune the car for a number of different properties, such as higher top speed or higher acceleration. Unlike Most Wanted, all of Carbon’s performance tuning/enhancing and car customizing is done inside the safe house.

Pursuit system

As with Most Wanted, cops are everywhere in Carbon. Police chases can break out at any time, including when in Free Roam mode, when racing, or just after a race is completed. Some races do not have a chance of a police pursuit, such as Canyon races, and Checkpoint races. As with Need for Speed: Most Wanted, there are 5 conditions. Players have to be careful to avoid getting pursued by state or federal authorities. The Collector’s Edition features three additional heat levels.

The police cars in Carbon are almost identical to that of Most Wanted’s. The only difference is the police department logo (Palmont Police Department) and the change of the Corvette C6 to Corvette Z06. The helicopter however only appears in cut scenes in Carbon and will not be involved in chases unlike that of Most Wanted.
Although the pursuit system is similar to Most Wanted, this feature has been reprogrammed in Carbon to ensure that police were not too dominant in arrest tactics in high pursuit levels. Some of the police tactics (such as the spike strips) while at the same time to make pursuits much harder to escape once a pursuit initiates.

Car types

Players can choose from many licensed cars divided into three classes as follows: Tuners, muscle cars, and exotic cars. Each car has its own characteristic ranging from easy cornering to well-balanced road performance. Players can choose a class to start career mode on which the set of unlocks will be different. Players can also unlock cars that are reserved for quick races as the players progress throughout the game and earn reward cards.
There are three types of cars featured in the game:
Tuner cars have the best handling, a decent acceleration, but a low top speed.
Exotic cars have the highest top speed, acceleration, and handling, but it works to top speed bias
Muscle cars have the best acceleration with a decent top speed, but have the worst handling.
