Need For Speed Carbon
Publisher: EA Platform: Xb360 (£50), also PS2, Xb, PSP, PC (£25-40)
This mildly entertaining experience has been dressed up with stunning presentation, and wonderfully mixes live actors with animated backgrounds. You take the role of a shamed racing driver who has to work his way back into his gang by winning long but straightforward street shoot-outs. Trouble is, everything is very dark, and the action is over too soon. Need for Speed Carbon is best rented for a weekend.
