Need for Speed: Carbon

About

Need for Speed: Carbon is a 2006 street racing game developed by EA Black Box and published by Electronic Arts, available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, and Mac. The tenth installment in the long-running Need for Speed franchise, it serves as a direct sequel to 2005's Need for Speed: Most Wanted and was the first entry in the series to receive a PEGI 12+ rating. The game centers on illegal street racing set in an urban environment, carrying forward the pursuit-heavy gameplay established by its predecessor while introducing canyon racing as a distinct competitive element. Players compete for territorial control across rival-held districts, building crews and taking on faction leaders in escalating confrontations. Carbon blends high-speed racing with a progression system built around expanding influence over the city's underground racing scene.
