This is what absolutely made me fall in love with E46 M3’s... which led me to owning one as well ahahah

Damn, I remember playing this game when I was a kid... doesn't look as good as I remembered it, but still brings some nostalgia.

The good days where the characters weren't forgettable ....

The soundtrack gives my brain an unusual feeling, its like a smell in the air and my atmosphere changes to 10+ years ago, brings a smile on my face but tears to my eyes, everything was so chill back then, remember my orange metallic ford mustang

I was 7 when NFS Carbon came in 2006.
For me that is best game ever.
So many great memories that I can't even describe in words.

NFS Carbon, the game that got overshadowed by its three predecessors at launch.
I'm glad to see that more people are starting to appreciate NFS Carbon as the game gets older. I enjoyed NFS Carbon despite its flaws. NFSC is my favourite NFS (and one of my favourite videogames alongside its three predecessors, The Run, and HP2010). Carbon and Most Wanted's graphics and gameplay aged extremely well compared to Underground duology. Carbon was the last OG street racing focused NFS. (Undercover doesn't count because you are an undercover cop in that game)
Underground 1 introduced NFS franchise to illegal underground street racing with modified cars (although 5-0 doesn't even exist in that game).
Underground 2 introduced an open world. UG2 also introduced the ability to customize parts like mirrors, doors, and even trunks.
Most Wanted introduced cops in free roam and revolutionized cop chases in racing games with a sophisticated pursuit system. MW also has the best cop chase OST in the franchise.
Carbon was the combination of Underground 2 and Most Wanted with new features like autosculpt. We got both cops and good customization in Carbon. I'm glad that you can make a sleeper build in Carbon and MW unlike Underground duology (5 and 10 star rating systems).
Underground duology and Most Wanted had extremely repetitive (and bloated) campaigns, something Carbon finally fixed. However, the campaign's length suffered as a result and ended up being significantly shorter than previous NFS games (personally I don't have an issue with that). You can technically make the campaign a little bit longer by playing the defense races to keep your territory.
But the short campaign of this game is one of the reasons why I come back to this game frequently. Palmont City from Carbon is one of my favourite NFS open worlds and is fun to drive around in. The atmosphere of Carbon is my favourite in the series. The neon light aesthetic is amazing, especially the Silverton district. Cross, Darius, Neville (Da Monkey), Sal, Samson, Colin, Nikki, Kenji and Wolf are some of my favourite NFS characters. Trevor Morris and Ekstrak did a brilliant job with the OST of NFS Carbon. The canyon music is one of my favourites in the franchise. The pursuit OST of MW was reused, but I can understand why it was reused, you can't improve upon perfection and there was no guarantee that the new pursuit OST would be good in the first place. The customization of NFS Carbon is one of the best in NFS franchise in my opinion, you can finally mold some body parts to your liking thanks to autosculpt. I used to max them out as a kid and end up with some hideous cars (I still have a few save files from the old days where these cars exist).
The car list is one of the best in the franchise (HP2010 has the *best* car list in my opinion), but some cars are only available in quick race and can't be customized in the vanilla game (such as Plymouth Roadrunner and Chevrolet Chevelle).
The sound design of Carbon is still one of the best in the franchise (the tire sound is annoying even though the quality itself is really good). The handling is slightly better than MW. Although the sense of speed is a step back from MW. The Canyon races are still as amazing as they were 15 years ago. Some people didn't like NFS Carbon because it wasn't the MW2 they expected it to be. The thing is, MW was so unique that even Black Box couldn't recreate the magic of MW, so they decided to experiment with other ideas instead (Carbon, ProStreet, Undercover, and The Run), which is why BB was shut down by EA after the commercial disappointment of *The Run* despite being a way better game than people give it credit for.

Happy 15th anniversary NFS Carbon!


Thank you for taking the time to read my comment.

I can honestly say NFS Carbon has the best intro of all NFS

[SweBeach]

It still has a rather pleasing look to it, despite being so old.

Back to losing your car, spending a fortune to get it back in most wanted and then losing it again in carbon.

[snipeelite]

The sound of that BMW M3 GTR is so iconic

[MIDzI]

I played this game from beginning to end 14 times. Every new beginning improve new tactic to play, different cars etc...
Hahah, good old times.. :D

[renelopez]

this game take me back when was 20 year old

[fleperd]

Everybody wants to talk about how good most wanted was But forgot about this gem

[Gamerize]

Nostalgia brings tears through my eyes

[zeus.edwards]

carbon was the most epic NFS, the canyon where you can actually have to drive proper to win and drift was insane, it was the joining of classic street racing will all genres of racing combined into one epic masterpiece.

[xphntom_]

NFS Carbon and Underground 1+2 are my favorites on ps2 / nice video 👌

[GamezTryMe]

When games had an entertaining storyline with good soundtracks and sick gameplay

[Aditya-hroi]

damn, that unforgettable moments when my big bro and me used to sit together to play this game and complte the missons > i was 10 year old that time

[Corrupt]

This game was my childhood. I missed those times where I used to have game pedals and a gaming tire playing this game. Good old days.
