Some of the first details on the upcoming Need for Speed: Carbon have made their way to your eager eyes, by way of the latest issue of Game Informer magazine. Being billed as half NFS: Underground and half NFS: Most Wanted, the game will feature police chases along with the customization system that existed in the Underground titles. The single-player experience will be new, however, as the player is now charged with taking over territories. Three different maps will have players racing for command over seven different territories within each map.Another new addition to the formula is Canyon Racing. In these races, the track is narrow and you must fight for track with other competitors, racing along huge drop offs that present the danger of a long fall followed by fiery demise. There is also a team-based mode in the works for the game, but no details have been revealed on that as of this time.

I suppose that's good for us. Third party support is always welcome. Though honestly I haven't been a fan of this franchise for a good while.

American Muscle? Eww. On Underground 2, I had a Civic, Celica, and a RSX I think, and I rocked ass with it.
I never really got too interested into Most wanted, mostly because lack of customization and the fact that my TV was tiny, so that took away a lot of the experience I had with NFSU2 on my PC.

So wait, Carbon is a combination of NFSU and MFSMW, the latter of which was ALREADY a combination of NFSU and NFSHP2. My mind's spinning. So, in other words, they're basically going from half and half to three quarters NFSU and one quarter HP2? Or are they going to blow math right out of the water and go three quarters NFSU and half, or even three quarters HP2, as well? 150%! Talk about extreme.
All of that aside, I'm looking forward to this, but I've got to be honest: I'll be buying the 360 version of this game. I'll use my Wii for the games that aren't cross-platform or that are highly unique on the Wii.

Well... thats kind of the point of NFSU. To pimp out your cars as much as humanly possible.

Choose wisely.
