During the course of the game, you'll learn more about that fateful night you skipped town. It seems that you've got a history in this town that predates the events in Most Wanted. You are then put to work, taking over the turf of the other rival street-racing crews in Palmont City. Before he can collect his bounty on you, though, your old friend Darius steps in and pays off Cross.
At the start of Carbon, you're making your way to Palmont City when Cross, now a bounty hunter, catches up with you and totals your car during the chase. For those just tuning in, Most Wanted ended with you recovering your stolen car and bailing out of the city of Rockport while the overzealous, anti-street-racing Sgt. That guy from Battlestar Galactica isn't much of a Razor Callahan substitute.Ĭarbon continues the story where Most Wanted left off. The new gameplay doesn't always improve the experience, but the racing can still be quite intense and still has a pronounced sense of style.
Now it's being followed up by Need for Speed Carbon, which downplays the role of the police chases, introduces some simple team-racing mechanics, and occasionally takes the action off the city streets and into the outlying canyons. Last year's Need for Speed Most Wanted, which featured hilariously over-the-top live-action cutscenes and seriously tense police pursuits, proved to be a high watermark for the franchise. After rebooting the franchise with Need for Speed Underground, EA has continued to produce some solid street racers under the Need for Speed banner.
