Carbon is a great game, sort of a combination of Most Wanted and the Underground series of games. The big difference from this years game from Most Wanted is it's length. It is terribly short, with less than ten hours of play in 1 game. This is where the replay value comes into play. You start out the game with a choice of 3 cars and car types: Muscle, Exotic, and Tuner, and this dictates wat cars will be unlocked for you during the course of the career mode. The customization is much improved over MW, but it isn't as exciting as Underground 2. The new customizaion tool in this installment is Autosculpt, which sounds pretty exciting, and it is, but it has limited Body Kits, which i found pretty dissapointing. I liked to mess with different ombinations of body kits from Underground 2, but there are only 4 to autosculpt per car, so I rarely used it. The game sounds good, and graphically is a bit better than Most Wanted. The physcis of the cars are good, with each class felling a bit different than the other. All in all, Carbon is a great game, but EA could have taken more than a year in it's development and possibly may have created a classic game, instead of a Most Wanted - Underground hybrid.
