Its my old video, just you don't saw it xD
I have this game for PS2 (sold it 5 years ago I guess),360,and PC.
You too used trainers to get hidden cars
I did that too... pity those were not standard cars,pity there was no real straight road to test max speed of the car,and I understood something...
May it be a coincidence,or an actual rip-off,this game has 3 kind of cars (Tuner,Exotic,Muscles),4 gangs (3 for each car group plus the fourth one with all cars combined,the final gang,they had red cars) 4 areas (each one for a gang and a specific kind of car and Silverton with the gang with all the 3 kind of cars), 3 specific background songs when tuning a specific kind of car (Song A starts each time you tune a "tuner car", Song B starts each time you tune a "muscle", Song C starts each time you tune an "Exotic")
This structure of the game is very interesting...but I wonder,why did they have to make such a separation?
I still didnt find a precise answer to this
And guess what? it all leads back to 1996,to a very good game...Rage Racer!
That game had 4 circuits - Mythical Coast,a circuit designed for every kind of car in the game
Overpass city,a circuit designed for Lizards (chevrolet parody, therefore Muscles cars)
Lakeside Drive, a circuit designed for Age's ( the tuner equivalent,because of their handling)
Extreme Oval (I guess), a circuit designed for Assolutos (the equivalent of the exotic cars in nfs carbon)
So what I'm saying,is that BOTH NFS Carbon,and Rage Racer share the same conception: 3 kind of cars,each one with a specific overpowered and overdeveloped feature
TUNER ----> HANDLING ---> NFS CARBON (Nissan Skyline,Mitsu,Mazda RX7 ETC) - RAGE RACER (Age,Gnade)
MUSCLE ---> ACCELERATION NFS CARBON (Camaros,Charger,Cuda etc) - RAGE RACER (Lizard)
EXOTIC ----> TOP SPEED ----> NFS CARBON (Lambos,Mercedes etc) - RAGE RACER (Assoluto)

Interesting no? Rage racer has no freeroaming,no police,it came out 10 years before nfs carbon...but it has exactly the same structure in terms of car classyfing...may be a coincidence? different developers,different games,one alot better than the other (rage racer,but that's my opinion),totally different graphics and physics...but a phylosophy that shares at least 99,9 percent in common...
Hope you liked my treaty
time for the debate
