yeah the car customizing is really awsome, i was surprised you could bend and shape peices any way you want... and i understand this is a drifting game so sliding is expected, it just doesnt feel right, when you other folks play it youll understand.

ahah i cant believe this game, everytime they try to add something new into a old game they fail... the custom parts is pretty neat but i think they're trying to cover up the garbage controling of the cars... "a tank on ice skates" you couldnt have put it in a better way... i kno its a arcade type game but that was just bloody rediculus! looks nice but yet again same old need for speed underground 1 with more shit loaded on it... they should just remake number one it was probably the best of the series.

I find a lot of games like 'a tank on ice skates'. You put it exactly how it is. But I always play driving games with in car camera view, its so much easier to see your lines and to control.

I also realised that the brakes were a bit harsh, i was pushing the trigger down... nothing, nothing, nothing, WHAM. Kinda odd, but I accept that it's still it development obviously. The customising was cool, but I really don't see why it's called Carbon. I guess just so they can make another game from the franchise. It look's good though  happy.gif

This is probably the worst version i have seen thus far. The only thing about this demo that stands out it the customization which in my opinion has always been NFS's stronger hand. This however is not going to be a game i buy in the future unless things drastically change between now and the release.

Eeeeew! This game stinks!

I thought the car modding was great and I began to think I may actually like a NFS game for the first time in years!

Then I played a race. The only thing I can say is that this game is shiiiiiiit.

funny the topic says NFS:Carbon/totemball out... although all anyone has posted is how crappy Carbon is... I liked most wanted... aside from the chases that took seemed like days to complete... thought about carbon but from everyone's opinion sounds like it may be a no no... i'll check the demo out...

not gonna bother downloading this demo then. also i was reading the xbox.com forum, apart from many topics, there is one 15 pages topic and not even one person said they liked the game, even the graphics was downgraded from Most Wanted  blink.gif
