Need For Speed is widely acknowledged as one of the bestseries ever made anddoesn’t disappoint, with stunning style and realism.Need for Speed Carbon is a fast and furious racing game that features both city and canyon racing environments. However, be warned that the download is huge and you’ll need a good 5 minutes to let the installation take its course but after you do, you’ll think it well worth it.In this Need for Speed Carbon demo, you can adapt three main cars – a Chevy Camaro SS, Lamborghini Gallardo and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX. Once you are strapped in, you race with three other team mates against 4 Scorpion cars. There is a huge amount of G-Force placed on the cars as they take the bend and you’ll find yourself drifting an awful lot. However, this is exactly how you earn points in Need for Speed Carbon – the more drift, the more points. It is however, almost impossible to beat the lead Scorpion car – they’re just too damn quick and one mistake sees you out of the game for good.
