Need for Speed Carbon Retrospective: A Great Street Racer

Was Carbon the end of an era, or a forgotten classic worth revisiting?

In this retrospective, I take a deep dive into Need for Speed Carbon, the follow up to Most Wanted 2005. From its crew mechanics and canyon duels to Autosculpt customisation and the split soundtrack, Carbon tried to innovate while still carrying the street racing torch. But did it work?

I cover the game’s background, gameplay, visuals, structure, customisation options, soundtrack and its legacy, and find out whether the criticisms of this game are fair or if Carbon deserves more credit.
