Need for Speed: Carbon Demo Impressions (Xbox 360)
The racing in the demo is pretty much identical to Most Wanted which is a love/hate game. You either like arcade racing or not. This year sports an all new drifting event. Just note that new does not always equal good.
Here are the specifics. You have a car. You have a track. You get points by duration and speed of drifting. Sounds ok.
Here's the catch. The car now controls like the track is covered in oil. So the car by default drifts around corners, with no need to get the tail out, because it automatically swings out by turning the steering. I'm not a big fan of drifting in games but this is just plain bad. Knowing EA this is the game we will get.
Me = still waiting for Forza 2/Gran Turismo.
