Three-lane 'track revved for NFS: Carbon

Unlike the speeding automobiles of Need for Speed: Carbon, Electronic Arts isn't cutting corners when it comes to the game's soundtrack. The publisher is once again tapping a mix of established artists with up-and-coming acts for its latest game soundtrack.

For Need for Speed: Carbon, the publisher is aiming to draw songs from three distinct genres to represent the three main classes of cars it is featuring in the game. The group of loud muscle cars will be represented by a selection of rock music from bands like Wolfmother and Eagles of Death Metal. High-tech tuner autos will drive to the tune of electro bands such as Goldfrapp and Ladytron. Finally, the exotic cars will take to the streets accompanied by hip-hop from acts like Lady Sovereign and Roots Manuva. A partial list of the soundtrack is listed below.

Need for Speed: Carbon is being developed by EA Blackboc in Vancouver and will be released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, PC, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, and Game Boy Advance on November 1. Wii and PlayStation 3 versions are also in development. For more on the game, read GameSpot's previous coverage.
