The good days where the characters weren't forgettable ....

Damn, I remember playing this game when I was a kid... doesn't look as good as I remembered it, but still brings some nostalgia.

back when ea make quality games

This is what absolutely made me fall in love with E46 M3’s... which led me to owning one as well ahahah

This game is so fucking awesome I loved it now nobody plays it wish they would make a remastedred version of it

The soundtrack gives my brain an unusual feeling, its like a smell in the air and my atmosphere changes to 10+ years ago, brings a smile on my face but tears to my eyes, everything was so chill back then, remember my orange metallic ford mustang

It still has a rather pleasing look to it, despite being so old.

Back to losing your car, spending a fortune to get it back in most wanted and then losing it again in carbon.

I was 7 when NFS Carbon came in 2006. For me that is best game ever. So many great memories that I can't even describe in words.

I can honestly say NFS Carbon has the best intro of all NFS

NFS Carbon, the game that got overshadowed by its three predecessors at launch. I'm glad to see that more people are starting to appreciate NFS Carbon as the game gets older. I enjoyed NFS Carbon despite its flaws. NFSC is my favourite NFS (and one of my favourite videogames alongside its three predecessors, The Run, and HP2010). Carbon and Most Wanted's graphics and gameplay aged extremely well compared to Underground duology. Carbon was the last OG street racing focused NFS. (Undercover doesn't count because you are an undercover cop in that game) Underground 1 introduced NFS franchise to illegal underground street racing with modified cars (although 5-0 doesn't even exist in that game). Underground 2 introduced an open world. UG2 also introduced the ability to customize parts like mirrors, doors, and even trunks. Most Wanted introduced cops in free roam and revolutionized cop chases in racing games with a sophisticated pursuit system. MW also has the best cop chase OST in the franchise. Carbon was the combination of Underground 2 and Most Wanted with new features like autosculpt. We got both cops and good customization in Carbon. I'm glad that you can make a sleeper build in Carbon and MW unlike Underground duology (5 and 10 star rating systems). Underground duology and Most Wanted had extremely repetitive (and bloated) campaigns, something Carbon finally fixed. However, the campaign's length suffered as a result and ended up being significantly shorter than previous NFS games (personally I don't have an issue with that). You can technically make the campaign a little bit longer by playing the defense races to keep your territory. But the short campaign of this game is one of the reasons why I come back to this game frequently. Palmont City from Carbon is one of my favourite NFS open worlds and is fun to drive around in. The atmosphere of Carbon is my favourite in the series. The neon light aesthetic is amazing, especially the Silverton district. Cross, Darius, Neville (Da Monkey), Sal, Samson, Colin, Nikki, Kenji and Wolf are some of my favourite NFS characters. Trevor Morris and Ekstrak did a brilliant job with the OST of NFS Carbon. The canyon music is one of my favourites in the franchise. The pursuit OST of MW was reused, but I can understand why it was reused, you can't improve upon perfection and there was no guarantee that the new pursuit OST would be good in the first place. The customization of NFS Carbon is one of the best in NFS franchise in my opinion, you can finally mold some body parts to your liking thanks to autosculpt. I used to max them out as a kid and end up with some hideous cars (I still have a few save files from the old days where these cars exist). The car list is one of the best in the franchise (HP2010 has the *best* car list in my opinion), but some cars are only available in quick race and can't be customized in the vanilla game (such as Plymouth Roadrunner and Chevrolet Chevelle). The sound design of Carbon is still one of the best in the franchise (the tire sound is annoying even though the quality itself is really good). The handling is slightly better than MW. Although the sense of speed is a step back from MW. The Canyon races are still as amazing as they were 15 years ago. Some people didn't like NFS Carbon because it wasn't the MW2 they expected it to be. The thing is, MW was so unique that even Black Box couldn't recreate the magic of MW, so they decided to experiment with other ideas instead (Carbon, ProStreet, Undercover, and The Run), which is why BB was shut down by EA after the commercial disappointment of *The Run* despite being a way better game than people give it credit for. Happy 15th anniversary NFS Carbon! Thank you for taking the time to read my comment.

This brings back so many memories 😭

The sound of that BMW M3 GTR is so iconic wooooow

I played this game from beginning to end 14 times. Every new beginning improve new tactic to play, different cars etc... Hahah, good old times.. :D

this game take me back when was 20 year old

5:36 Mystery City...

Darius: What's his bounty? Cross: 150K. Me: No my bounty is 15 million??

CARBON WAS THAT GAME THO!

When games had an entertaining storyline with good soundtracks and sick gameplay

Everybody wants to talk about how good most wanted was But forgot about this gem

back when games were really intense

damn ,that unforgettable moments when my big bro and me used to sit together to play this game and complte the missons > i was 10 year old that time

carbon was the most epic NFS, the canyon where you can actually have to drive proper to win and drift was insane, it was the joining of classic street racing will all genres of racing combined into one epic masterpiece.

Nostalgia brings tears through my eyes

Back when EA was actually GOOD.

NFS Carbon and Underground 1+2 are my favorites on ps2 / nice video 👌

This game was my childhood. I missed those times where I used to have game pedals and a gaming tire playing this game. Good old days.

Broooo the memoriesss😍

If this game came out in 2019 it would be a wingperson instead of wingman

those were the best days of our lives, we were bloody young then.. haha

Mannn I can't believe that this came out in 2006

Tip on how to not lose the BMW M3 GTR: Take the old bridge jump but don't keep going, come BACK to rockport and crash into cross THEN take the jump. don't get busted by heat level 6 atleast

I got this game on the PS2 for Christmas back in 2006 when I was 6 years old.

All the cutscenes they are just talking to a camera

Loosing m3 was a shame. I mean that car was no joke and it would have been awesome if it was given back to us somewhere near the end of the game.

2:52 I am getteing goosebumps every time I hear it

my childhood in a nutshell

Girls: Do men even have feelings? Boys: 7:13 *realizes that this was the last trip for M3*

That game make me love cars when i wause kid

That intro makes it look like a dramatic and serious game. Something the news NFS lacks. This needs to be remaked or at least remastered with an online multipayer option

The Player was awesome, I bet all girls are falling for him like: Awwww he's great and handsome.. He would be the greatest racer in the whole world

I have this for the Wii still. Came out when I was 8

i remember in 2019 my friend forcing me to play this and Most Wanted but i didn't want to play it bcz i thought this was a very old game. i am so glad he forced me to play this this and Most Wanted. these 2 games are very close to my heart

Bro Neville was literally my favourite character in this entire game

I remember version windows xp that's coolest game ever played when was a kid dad is complete without hassle

Still one of my Favorites on the Xbox 360 and Ps2

I like the sound from the BMW

2:53 omg look at the left really

We need the explanation how the player got BMW M3 from after he left the Palmont city . Make another game 😂

Today if June 2023, I don't know how my life's been until now without this game 😢

one of my favorate game, in the NFS series

neville looks like the type of guy that would drive a mazdaspeed 3

Did you know, that nfs carbon has connection to nfs mw. Even we drive our bmw gtr frm nfs mw

Omg i used to love Neville :D

My favorite game of all time

Nostalgia 😭 I started with this one

gran nostalgia🥺❤

Yeah I now I now It's 2019 but I want this game so bad, Look at those graphics and it looks Very fun too! 😲

This game... makes me fell in love with need for speed... even until now. Im playing need for speed heat

Need for Speed black edition is my most favorite.

The end...who remembers? In the cannyon, like the start, against a mercedes if i'm not wrong! I spent many tries there as a Kid! Good old days!

BMW from Need for Speed Most Wanted

Nice game

Better than payback

Nfs carbon is and always will be the best nfs game. Change my mind

so this is how nostalgic action feels like...

i spent so much fucking time playing this and gran turismo 2. probably over a 2000+ hours at the least for both games. Stoned out of my mind as a teen just playing all night through morning lol

Oh the characters were realistic

Well, that freaking sucks. You lose the BMW M3 right at the start of the game. I know they kinda had to, but to have it be totalled?

2:07 is that Mia from Two and a Half Men

omg man holyshit this game is soooo asowmeee OMG shit i love it

6:12 i always thought as a kid that my pc is shitb thats why its glitching lol

This game made me fall in love with mustangs

I'm really fucking love with bmw m3 gtr engine sounds, it's like music for me 😍😄

Even tho i am not born in the 2000's i love this game

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words "racing game"? Novelty tricks and giving orders to NPCs, all wrapped up in a pointless story! Oh yeah, I think there's some racing in there somewhere...

Never played this game but I kinda wanna get it now. Haven't bought a need for speed since nfsmw 2005. I feel like this is the last good nfs. Everything after this sucks

i used to play this when i was a kid

I just installed this one today 🤠 nostalgic ... Haha

So the BMW M3 GTR took Lookout Point as the chosen route to get to Palmont? Makes sense.

This makes so many memories

NFS Carbon is already slightly different from the previous part of Most Wanted. And rather, the game reminds me of something between Underground and Undrecover. Just my guess. I haven't had a chance to play Carbon yet. When I get the PS2 version soon

Its like need for speed most wanted 2005 but recreated

nfsmw : spending a year trying to get bmw back. carbon : loses in 1 minute. me : What the FACK

Here's a little lesson in trickery

I wonder what happened to Razor during the events of Carbon...

my childhood was so lucky

Dude this car is legendary

Old good days😢

I love how you can drive a cop cars in this game

This game was my shit, I can't find a PC version anywhere

I always used the truck to take out the cops

Now Need for Speed games are shit. This was a great game back in the day, time for me to download it and play it again.

Muito bom o vídeo gostei jogos Need for Speed Cardon PC PS2

where can i buy cuz its not on steam, i want to play cuz i was playing on xbox 360

I used to play this on my Xbox 360 soo long ago 😭😭

So like what actually happened to that bmw m3 GTR in that moment and after

Only legends watch this in 2022

Good memories…

They could do a remaster on PS4
