I gotta admit the Need for Speed franchise has come a long, long way since I first played it on the Playstation. I can still remember its god-forsaken turning sensitivity that just about drove me crazy. Thankfully, those days are long gone, and the series is still going strong, which is proven by the upcoming release of Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City.
While the video is light on gameplay, it does show what appears to be the game's cutscenes that may have been stolen borrowed from the Twisted Metal series. It also sheds some light on the story line.
In the game, players must take control of their rivals' territories by outracing them. But watch out because you'll also have to keep an eye out for the "fuzz" who are always looking to spoil the fun. Carbon ships Nov. 1.

oh how lame, "X"? And doesn't this look surprisingly similar to underground rivals...?

you don't even want to try do you EA?
i think the reason the gameplay footage is so short is because it looks just like 5-1-0, which looks just like rivals. while the game play in 5-1-0 was somewhat improved above rivals, and the addition of cops was a big part of that, i don't see how own the city is going to improve on gameplay to make me want to spend $50.
while i'm not suprized or impressed, i am dissapointed. once again i get the feeling that this version was just a blanket port.
