Need For Speed : Carbon A New Era Of Racing Begins Soon

Need for Speed: Carbon is the latest installment in Need For Speed series. Many of the cars in Need for Speed: Carbon will make a return from Need For Speed Most Wanted, such as the Porsche Cayman S, the Aston Martin DB9, and the Lamborghini Gallarado. New additions to the car list include the Nissan 300ZX and the new 2008 Dodge Challenger. It is also evident that nighttime racing will make a welcome return to the series as some of the cars appear to have neon lights. This could mean that exotic cars may be featured in tuner races such as drift and may have very cool customization similar to the Need For Speed : Underground series. NFS : Carbon will be featuring actress and model Emmanuelle Vaugier as its model. In NFS Most Wanted the game featured Josie Maran as the game's model. You can also design how your front and rear bumpers look.
The game will also feature drift racing, like in The Fast the Furious : Tokyo Drift and Canyon Racing, a race where you have to follow a racer down a mountain trail and not hit them or fall off the mountain. According to Game Informer and Larry Lapierre, Executive Producer of EA Black Box, this game is the sequel to Most Wanted and incorporates many features used in Most Wanted. The game's name is based on Carbon Canyon in California, which is a shocker to many NFS fans because this is the first time the game is based on an actual location. In the August issue of GameInformer, EA has said that there will be 50 cars in the game. The game will be taking its ideas from real life racing clubs, giving you the abililty to recruit teammates, which is a first for NFS. From the group of teammates you can pick specific people, like a pathfinder who can help you through the track, a blocker who races beside you in the race and can target cars during the race and knock them off the course, and a drafter who can help you find the slipstream in the race. Also from this team you can assign Fabricators, people who "Trick Out" your ride, Mechanics, and a "fixer", a person behind-the-scenes who can get the "heat" off your back or truckers out of your way. Also new to the NFS franchise is the ability to win territories, which has benefits from certain car part stores to important people.
