.What happens in the canyon, stays in the canyon
What starts in the city is settled in the canyons as Need for
Speed: Carbon weaves a story line that players won't soon forget
in locales that are as detailed as they are deadly. You and your
crew must race in an all-out war for the city, risking everything
to take over your rivals' neighborhoods one block at a time.
Boldly expanding on the key features that have made the Need for
Speed franchise a hit for more than a decade, Need for Speed:
Carbon turns up the excitement and intensity by introducing
all-new canyon racing. As the turn up the heat, the battle
ultimately shifts to Carbon Canyon, where territories and
reputations can be lost on every perilous curve. With multiplayer
racing and the most detailed Wii graphics and car customization
tools ever, Need for Speed: Carbon is the ultimate next
generation racing game.
Need for Speed: Carbon on the Nintendo Wii introduces the world
to a whole new way to play Need for Speed. Offering the classic
Need for Speed controls and immersive gameplay experience, with
the addition of the Wii's unique controller scheme takes NFS
Carbon gameplay to levels previously not possible. A simple yet
intuitive control scheme using the Wii controllers, the player
will instantly recognize and feel the physics differences between
the extensive list of Muscle, Exotic, and Tuner cars, as they use
their crew to win Canyon races, customize their cars using
Autosculpt technology, and battle to take control of the streets
of Palmont. A streamlined focus on game physics has resulted in a
truly authentic racing experience, as each of the game's three
distinct car classes have been designed to maximize
differentiation and enhance performance.
Over 50 rides to drive and customize
Carbon offers more than 50 custom rides in three distinct
classes: Tuner, Exotic, and Muscle -- each with unique
attributes. Muscle are best on straightaways, of which there are
precious few in Palmont. Need for Speed: Carbon gives you the
power to design and tweak your car in every way - including over
300 different parts - using the ground-breaking new Autosculpt
technology. As with other racing games you hold either end of the
Wii Controller and tilt it to steer your car. If you'd rather not
take the motion-control plunge EA thoughtfully provides five
different steering configurations, including using the Nunchuk's
analog stick. Our advice is to forget about old school -- the Wii
Remote is the way to go. How did we ever enjoy racing games
before it was invented?
Birds of a fuel-injected feather
New to Need for Speed in this generation are the three kinds of
wingmen (and yes, that's what the game calls them). Scouts search
for shortcuts. Blockers create distractions and slow rivals.
Drafters give you a second of speed boost for every second you
can stay behind them. All three also give you moral support via
wireless communications. Scouts are most useful the first few
times you run a course. Drafters are of limited use on Palmont's
twisting thoroughfares. Practically indespensible are Blockers,
who are always willing to lay their precious paint jobs on the
line so you can cross the finish line first. Now that's true
friendship.
In total, Need for Speed: Carbon takes racing on the Wii to the
next generation, and never looks back. With extensive
customization, multiplayer options, revolutionary control, and an
intriguing story, owners of the Wii may not be able to put this
title down for a long, long time.
