    Need for Speed Carbon is a piece

    I'm 97% of the way through the game, no achievements unlocked, and I'm screwed unless I do a ton of races over again for little money.

    You see, my only car in career mode is simply unable to beat the boss in the canyon duel to finish the game. I've won all the races up til that, and it's really simply impossible to beat him with my current car.

    I can still upgrade my car, but to do so would require lots of money I do not have. I'd need to re-race races I've already done, winning $500 each to save up for the $140,000 I need to make my car competitive to have a chance to win the game.

    I evidently picked the wrong car to do career mode in and it screws me, accordingly.

    Thus, I am ebaying it. Flawed game design.

    1.) What car are you using?
    2.) What did you do with all the other cars?
    3.) You make more money if you strip a car of all its improvements, and THEN sell it.
    4.) I didn't finish NFS:Carbon, but I got within the last 1-3 guys without much difficulty. I always went for the "unknown/mystery" markers after beating a rival, and almost every time ended up winning the pink slip for my rivals car. Most I sold, so maybe I just had a lot more money than usual.

      Oops, I was thinking you were talking about NFS: Most Wanted.

      Gameplay wasn't much different in Carbon. I didn't play it heavily, but my roommate did. Didn't seem worth the price to 'upgrade'.

        Every NFS game I've owned was terrible. Repetitive game play and repetitive tracks = boring game.

          Good to know, now...

          The game was a cakewalk until this last race, which just isn't possible without a fully upgraded car.

            Hm, I don't know from personal experience like I said, but my roommate beat it.

              Screw playing by the rules, CHEAT! The game is made more enjoyable as a pure street racing game minus the contrived storyline. I didn't get the game to be sneered at by the guy that plays Helo on BSG. Activating the one that makes other racers (bosses in your case, Asher) float off of the road at just the right moment (right as they get to that first cliff) is satisfying because you just don't have to care anymore. Just watch and enjoy as they suddenly lose all traction, smash through the barrier, and look like their cat just shat in their bowl of Wheaties.

                How do you do that?

                  I downloaded the nfs carbon +19 mega trainer from cheathappens. Activate the trainer, then the game, then whatever cheats you feel like. I usually unlock all the car mods (use the money cheat; once is plenty, then save your game), mess with the other racers for my own amusement, give myself infinite nos as well as give my car the handling of the cop cars (notice how infrequently they honestly crash compared to... say... you, the player? ). I typically go for chases and man oh man do the cops get pissed off. These cops actually try to stop you anyway they can (PIT maneuvers, flanking, road blocks, spike strips, even head-on ramming) instead acting out one of those old Charlie Chaplin cop chase skits like they do in Grand Theft Auto.

                          I haven't had much problems with money in this game (though only finished 3/4th of the races), this is one of the good things in this game compared to Underground, where you always had more than enough money
                          I haven't played the game for some time, it's just not interesting enough. What kept me playing the Underground games for a longer time was drifting, but in Carbon drifting is no fun at all
                          This space is empty... or is it?

                            I just don't understand the appeal of "drifting." I can do it easily in winter without even trying (as a rule, I try not to). I guess drifting is interesting to those who've never driven in snow and ice.

                              That, or they've got really good driver's insurance that covers acts of stupidity.
