I picked it up again with Most Wanted (which I absolutely hate) and Carbon (which I adored until I reached the 4th sector). I beat Kenji with the RX7 and took on the other 2 crew members with Kenji's RX8. I got to your page cause I started googling when I realised all the car lots are locked in my game. I completed 3 races (hardly) with the Aston Martin (it has poor handling compared to the Mazda I'm used with but better speed and acceleration)I won off Wolf, with a 130k upgrade to the car, and wanted to sell some of my old cars (tuner tier 1, tuner tier 2 and the muscle got off Angie) to buy a tier 3 one but there's no where I can do that. So yeah the game sucks for this because it lets you go through the game easily for about 70% of it (minus the canyon drifts which I avoid) and then it makes it really hard to finish. I've been reading up on it to know what to expect and I hear beating Darius in the Canyon is almost impossible, like barely scratching a wall on a turn can make you fall back and lose O.O I’ve been a fan of the NFS games since I was like 13 (almost 22 now) but had to take a break from the game after NFSU2 cause my old computer wasn’t gonna handle it after.

Tomorrow it goes back to the store, and I get my refund. This is without a doubt the worst game in the Need For Speed series. Give me my el Nino, please. I just bought Carbon used.

Same problem! So I pay 40 for the game and another 3-5 now and how much later? I understand the enhanced feature but they could make it a choice?!?! They should update nfs porsche unleashed! That was an excellent game! Playing nfs carbon on pc. Same problem! So I pay 40 for the game and another 3-5 now and how much later?

Get an Aston Martin early in the game and then soup it up by winning the races. You should then have no problems beating everyone until your career reaches 70%. Then you try to get the Lamborgini so that can unlock the Lamb M. in the canyon race. Good luck! Yo some hints on how to beat tier 3 vehicles with your tier 2 vehicle.

I'm Jorge from Portugal, and I've bought this game for PC 4 days ago, and I've just finished the carrear mode, with ALL the races won... I must say that I'm disapointed, because it was just too easy, and with no challenge at all. I mean, in NFS Most Wanted, it took me almost 2 hours to escape from Cross, in the last race, and now, it took me 20 minuts to end the last race... where is the rest of the game? I thought I'd still had to run away from a set up, or something else, but no... just "the end"(and a 5 minuts boring of credits, where no key quits!) The cars, ok, started with RX8, then CLK (I'm a big mercedes fan! I've finished most wanted with driving only them), then cayenne, Supra, and last but far from least, McLaren SLR. Ok, now I have the shelby 500, SL65 AMG and other cars unlocked, just for finishing, but I feel like if I've unraped a chocolate, and when I tasted, it has no flavour... The game should be a little "longer"... I've only played an average of less than 3 hours a day, but I must say I've cheated a little... I play driving games with steering wheel and peddals, since 1998... it took me 1 year to finish Collin McRae at that time! but after that, NFS porsche unleashed, Hot Pursuit 2, underground 1 and 2, most wanted, and other collin McRaes (2, 3, 2005) only took one week to end, each... this last one, took half the time! so, it just sucks for no longevity... And the city, is so "deja vu"... They should make a "night and day" game, not one where is only night or only day... Or with different streets, or one where we could draw our own city, if we wanted to... See ya! Hi!

In 2 -3 years no more friend. Why? Becouse making games on ps3 or xbox is more simple and effective then for PC. Coding something on PC you must think about five or six, not similar, procesors, and many defferent graphic cards. And for xbox. Hmmm there is always the same hardware that let's developers optimize the code. PC gamer have always the same problem "Is it going to work on my PC", consols gamers have other problem "will i have time to play this great game". PC should be more and more only a toll for work.

I think this time the Career mode was very short,it took me 2 days to finished it. This game sucks. This isn't the game I was expecting, I still believe that Underground 2 it's the best NFS game they have released. I have problems unlocking the rest of the cars. Does anyone knows how to unlock them without paying in Live Marketplace? I just finished NFS Carbon Career (XBOX 360).

Seriously, that's just another reason why gaming = PC . If they tried selling cheats to PC users, we'd just find a loophole or using a hex editor, selling cheats is just BS. Plus I'm sure someone will post the codes anyways. They’re actually selling cheats? Seriously, that’s just another reason why gaming = PC .
