You can tell this game was made around the same time Tokyo Drift came out. I assume that was the inspiration for this game. Has alot of the same tone and atmosphere as Tokyo Drift. Not sure which came first but this game was special for sure
Tokyo Drift & NFS Carbon both came in 2006... Devs didn't have idea about Tokyo drift because they started working on this game either in late 2004 or early 2005...
The main inspiration was taken from The Anime series, Initial D, because of the Downhill drift/touge race. They modified the race type and named Canyon Race
If you wanted to summarize the whole game's music into 10 seconds 17:36 - 17:46 is the 10 seconds you want. It really summarizes the game's overall atmosphere..
@@erickbuckner4485EA can easily remaster Need For Speed MW, Carbon Mirrors Edge 1, Dead Space 1 & 2 and they'll still get tons of money. Yet they decide to make something worse anyway.
God when you throw this game on a good TV with upscaling it still looks WAY better than most of the current shit out, the sound design, the angles on the cut scenes. I would have loved to see the same visionaries behind this working on current day nfs. What a shame EA had to fuck it all up.
yea sorry but objectively speaking the graphical fidelity of these older BB games are nowhere near the Criterion/Ghost area games, that’s the nostalgia goggles talking
I just wished it wasn’t so tight because u couldn’t destroy much I still think most wanted is the best along with the remastered version in 2015 nfs heat and payback but carbon is in my top 5 I returned to Xbox just to play this game

I can agree with that - the Need For Speed series was good, especially Most Wanted (2005). Also, I have a selfish request: Can you please get rid of any Ukrainian emblems or flags in your profile?
@@tachap6306 I guess I just found it a bit annoying and repetitive. After all, by supporting Ukraine, you're technically also supporting the Azov Battalion, who is made of Neo-fascists. And of course, Russia might not be so different either. The Wagner might also happen to be a Neo-Nazi group. So, I guess it might be best to support neither side in this one.
Really wish they included the canyons and San Juan in the free roam map 😭 that’s what glitches are for though. But mannn imagine we got a game that connected MW and Carbon’s maps through the canyon
In the past, there has never been any Need for Speed title that could be compared to Carbon, and in the future, there will not be any game that can surpass it. NFS: Carbon represents the pinnacle of the NFS series, an unrivaled classic that cannot be surpassed.
NFS3\4\5 and may be Underground2, everything else is just a pathetic parody lazy cash grab including carbon which is a slightly modified copy of underground series. Latest are the worst with may be Shift series as exception but that's kinda different game tho.
Everyone has their own opinions. Please respect others. Carbon is a good game but me personally, I like Rivals. And not to be offensive, but *nostalgia* is never a good reason for anything, Again, Carbon is good, luv Kenji, i wanna kiss him but everyone has their own opinions. Please consider that when writing something can someone can disagree with because they will.
@@LegendarySnipez7000 Well I mean, what was new and revolutionary in the carbon? I do understand you might like the style, but i don't think that copy of a copy with slightly changed style and car models deserves respect, at some point it's just a cash grab. Now we all know what kind of company EA is...
I played this game a lot all throughout my childhood until my mid teens when my 360 broke, I miss this game so much, I wish they’d make it available for next gen consoles.
This mah shit right here, fuck homework. Everyday after school I be hoping on my computer to play this shit. Still do to this day for nostalgia purposes.
This game had an really odd take on rubberbanding. Wolf tend to be the weirdest case. Sometimes he is the easiest boss out of the bunch and sometimes he can be pretty challenging.
Futuristic , graphics looks absolutely amazing on modern pcs if maxed out. Cars are super futuristic looks almost like nowadays... a master - piece for every speed racer
Lowkey my favorite need for speed game played it on the ps2 still is my favorite one will most likely be the one that made me play it so many times!❤️😂god miss those days
I remember playing this game non-stop, as a kid, it was almost always the same, come back from school, change clothes, and run downstairs to a 5 hours session of either carbon, battlefront II, or MK Armaggedon. I still have a folder with zipper, in there... oof... like a 100 cd's of PS2 with games like "Destroy all humans 2", PES and FIFA (from 06 to 13), Gran Turismo 4, Midnight Club 3, GTA's (3, SA, LCS). And 3 copies of my big three, bc I always managed to fck up the cd's by just playing too much. Brings back good memories...
This was before Need For Speed Underground begins while u win Underground 1,2, Most Wanted And You're returning To Palmont City Nikki Accidently grabbed the wrong bag and defeat Darius In The Final Race In Need For Speed Carbon.
This and MW 2005 was the best NFS games. Its still funny that you racked up at least 15-20M bounty in Rockport then when you left town it reduced to 150K
NFS my peak fandom was this game from 1999 with High Stakes to Carbon in 2006 good times. Then took a long break and came back to NFS Payback and oh boy times have changed with this franchise.
The graphics where perceived as so abnormally realistic, that I was borderline scared of what the future might even bring. Back then I was 13 and I guess my fear of the digital future was justified, looking at tik tok now
Oh man this was one of the best racing games ever. Heat isnt too bad but carbon and most wanted and all the old school games were just wonderfull. I recebtly bought a ps3 and this is one im gonna be adding to my collection
the cool thing is that they kept most wanted's police pursuit songs, everytime it played, always reminded me of when i try to escape cops in rockport city man, carbon and most wanted are 2 legendary games.
This game is honestly for me the number 1 best in the series. I know it was rushed and shorter compared to MW or UG2, but I played this one the most and enjoyed it the most. That's why it's my number 1 favorite NFS Game and the best one in the series (atleast for me). I just like this one and ProStreet the most (and even more than MW05), both Carbon and ProStreet are for me better than MW05 itself. This one will always have special place in my heart for how special it is.
AHHHH dude I loved this game!! It was the only game my dad actually enjoyed playing lol. Thinking about getting an Xbox just so I can play these older titles.
Yes my childhood. I played this everyday after school. Screw homework
