Need for Speed: Carbon — About this game
Win street races to extend your crew’s control and uncover the events surrounding your brother’s fatal crash. The DS campaign selects races from a map, with new opponents and car upgrades opening as you defeat crews. A wingman can help by disrupting rivals or providing a useful draft, so choosing when to request assistance matters alongside steering and boost. Start with the first available event, learn its corners and spend winnings on a car that you can keep under control before challenging the next crew.
