Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City

"Is the game as good as the console versions? No. Does the DS version do anything special to warrant a purchase if you're already playing the console version? No. Does it stand on its own as a good racer for the Nintendo DS? Yes. Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City is a really good racing entry on the dual-screen portable, and even with the expected warts that usually surface in EA's "secondary" DS development projects, it's a quality production. And in terms of arcade racers on the system, this is definitely one of the better ones. There's still plenty of room for improvement, but it at least brings the series back from the dregs after last year's awful Most Wanted."

"Need for Speed Carbon is an enjoyable and stylish street racer that offers plenty of customization options and a few sweet gamebreaker features."
