BrentonNeed for Speed: Carbon Wii (gameplay video included)

Release date: Coincides with Wii launch date.
While they are many racing games coming to the Nintendo Wii, and heres hoping most if not all will be extremely fun, none of the franchises carry the heritage that ‘Need for Speed’ does, so it is no surprise many peoples are betting on ‘Need for Speed: Carbon’ to take out the top spot for ‘most fun racing game on Wii’.
‘Carbon’ revolves around underground racing, cops and all. Cut scenes are FMV based, that is ‘Full Motion Video’ with real life actors, and cheesy as ever. Have you Seen ‘The Fast and the Furious’ or any movie from that franchise? Yeah, it is about that cheesy with some extra cheese sauce added for good measure. What you see in the cut scenes are the essence of the game, cool people, half naked women, and fast cars. Bad influence to children? I’d say yes, if you’re buying this for a youngling I suggest you stick tight to him/her and make sure they aren’t being too negatively influenced.
‘Need for Speed: Most Wanted’ is the prequel to ‘Carbon’, and in a sense one could say ‘Carbon’ is all that was ‘Most Wanted’ minus some annoyances with some extras and thrown into the mix some night races. Think ‘Need for Speed: Underground’ which was based during night time taking place in the underground without cops chasing you or anything, cross ‘Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit’, which while not set in the night in an underground setting had cops chasing after you (ironic eh?).
Interestingly ‘Need for Speed: Carbon’ is being released on just about every platform currently on the market, and coming to the market, from the humble Gameboy Advance all the way up to the Playstation 3. The advantage the Wii has above the others is obvious, the Wii-Mote. Will it be the difference here that will make ‘Need for Speed: Carbon’ the most appealing on the Nintendo Wii?
Until we can find out, heres a video demonstration of the game in action:
