Anyone going to pick this up? It looks pretty sweet.

I have that game for xbox 360 and it's pertty cool
I just bought it. Can't wait to get home from work and try it out. I'll have to get my PC's steering wheel out the cupboard too. Been using keyboard for the Need for Speed series but this looks like a proper racing game.
I have the game, it get's boring pretty fast because there just isn't much variation.
Need For Speed: Carbon any good?
It's an arcade game, not a serious racing game. If you get it, turn off the FMV - it's bloody annoying, especially when they laugh.
Okay, I've been playing it for most of the weekend and a keyboard easily suffices.
Graphics and gameplay are generally good, though FPS does drop when you enter the car showrooms. Having said that it's still good during races and I'm not that far off the minimum spec processor (I have 3ghz P4, game recommends min 2.8Ghz P4). The overall level of difficulty isn't too easy but it's lower than I had expected and, at least for the lower end races where driving skill isn't measured, there's definitely rubber-banding going on. Take a dive into a tree or four and you can still win.
I haven't tried the multi-player options much but they look good. As well as racing wheel to wheel, you can post challenges for other people to try. At the end of the set period, the person with the best time/score takes all the entrants' fees.
Someone has said that in achieving 100% game completion, 89% can be achieved in single player mode so if you're not into multi-player, there's still enough to do but you won't get the full feeling of the game.
Official release for the US/Asian markets is tomorrow, 20th March. EU got it last friday, AUS/NZ have to wait until 30th March.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GAME!!!
I have it on PS2 and while it is not as good as 360, it is still damn good. I have the Saleen S7, Chrysler ME412, Mercedes SLR and Pagani Zonda C12S. They are my best cars but there are shit loads overall!!!

Best Need for Speed game yet as far as I'm concerned. And I own every Need for Speed that's ever existed. I'll always love the Road & Track original, though.rabee2789b wrote:

Update: TDU beats the pants off any other driving game I've ever played. If you like racing games, you will not be disappointed with TDU.
