What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"Need for Speed Carbon on the Wii contains some unique driving control options, but none of them can escape the sensation that this game simply wasn't built for motion control."
"Need For Speed Carbon on Wii has all the ingredients that made the other versions great. Because of the wonky motion control, however, I recommend you skip it in favor of more traditional means of control. Mastering it is just too big of a hassle, and every other platform's offering has better multiplayer options anyway (a little thing called online)."
"Need for Speed Carbon for the Wii falls a bit flat in certain areas but it’s a good attempt at bringing us a fresh new twist to this underground racing series. While it doesn’t contain all the cheesy-yet-enjoyable drama of Most Wanted, the series still has some challenging races fans will like. For those who are looking for an innovative racing game with the Wii remote will not be disappointed."
"Casual gamers will cling to the ease of pick up and play, and hardcore gamers will love the customization options. There is enough to please everyone, but don't expect to be wowed by anything new or revolutionary, yet it still doesn't take away from the fact this is a solid racing game and will give many gamers the satisfaction for their need for speed."
"Need For Speed: Carbon is another solid entry in a solid series of arcade racers. The core racing action is still sound, but the new features are a mixed bag. While the addition of muscle cars and the new Autosculpting feature are both great, the canyon races and crew members are grating at best. The tacked-on Wii controls and lack of online multiplayer hurt, but Carbon is still a fun racing title that should please anyone who’s a fan of the genre."
