Anyone else pick Need For Speed: Carbon today?

[videogameking26]

I got the Collecter's Edition for the PS2 and I'm having a blast with it...drifting the canyon is awesome, it feels to me like they wanted to make a game that has Underground & Most Wanted aspects to it, they call it Carbon...so far only 5% complete thru career but it's everything I was looking forward to and a whole lot more :D

May I ask why you would quote yourself?
seems odd O_O

I got it as well, I picked up the xbox 360 collectors edition

it looks great, I can't wait to try it

I also got Final Fantasy XII collectors and the limited edition guide
:D

I am at work till 8 am so I won't get to play them for so long, it's all good though.

How's the car customization in this one, any where near as deep as midnight club 3? Also how are the races set up, are they predetermined paths, or open ended like the MC series?

[Kejoriv]

I'm going to pick it up when the price drops and when I finish Need for Speed Most Wanted. 70 something percent done with it.
The game has been getting good reviews.

Well, I bought one yesterday during lunch.. Got home and my wife started playing immediately.. She loves Need for Speed racing games, it's her favorite. We both took turns playing last night for about a hour / hour and a half and IT WAS A BLAST... Drifting in the hills is going to take some getting used to though... I kept falling on the side and having to restart. The gameplay is awesome.. The best part to me is that you still get to run from the Cops...

I hope everyone else who bought it is having a much fun as I am.

According to item descriptions, the items are unlockable through career mode. Buying them via marketplace just eliminates the time investment.

I agree it's stupid, but it's not content exclusive to the marketplace.

Also, the PSP version sucks. Badly, I might add. It feels really generic.

I'm interested in Carbon for the 360, but I'm kinda saddened that it's not like Most Wanted. The structure of that game was perfect. I'd guess the only reason it changed was to introduce that silly 'crew' stuff. Though, Autosculpt does kinda make up for it.

how does the psp version of carbon compare to most wanted, that wasn't horrible in my book, but how would you compare the two?

[Oobgarm]

Y'know, I didn't play MW on the PSP. I meant to, just never got around to it. Though, from what I've seen in reviews, they're fairly similar in gameplay and graphics.

I'm spoiled by the console versions and find it hard to play the scaled-back portables, I guess. I'll still give the PSP version of MW a fair shake, though.

[segagamer4life]

yeah, I had trouble looking or comparing MW with the 360 counterpart, but once I got past that, the game was pretty damn solid, so I am hoping for more of the same here.

I didn't mean to quote myself...it just happen as I messed up the tilte and was trying to find a edit button to fix it, thought I did but instead I quoted myself...oh well.

Currently on 2nd territory and around 30% completed...great game :D
