Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City is, for all intents and purposes, an entirely different game from the Need for Speed Carbon that’s currently appearing on the Xbox 360, PC, PlayStation 2, and so on. The basic conceit is much the same–you and your team of street racers take on other crews in a bid to take total control of the city–but a lot of the details are different and many are better for it.
Own the City is ultimately a revenge tale, which starts off with a flashback to the event that triggers your character’s vengeance. During a street race that both you and your brother, Mick, are competing in, something goes horribly wrong. The accident leaves you in the hospital with some nasty amnesia and Mick dead. But it seems that there was a third car involved, which was no accident at all. Six months later when you get back on your feet, the scene has changed dramatically. So you take to the streets to find out who’s responsible for your brother’s death with your old racing buddy, Carter, and your brother’s ex-girlfriend, Sara, by your side. It’s a surprisingly resonant story that takes a little time to flesh out and define some of the core characters. It also has some good twists and turns that really help to steel your character’s resolve. The story sequences are pretty slickly produced, with some distinct-looking comic-style art and voice work that tends toward the better side of average.
