makes you feel like your racing against an tuned phantasmal car being driven by the ghost of someone that died on an highway, and is haunting it forever till someone frees them by winning against them, and the ghost not being limited by organic and solid flaws (such as stress and gravity) means its unbeatable, left decades haunting the abandoned highway (since it aggressively attacked anyone that came to it without the goal of racing him) until many decades in the future, if not 1-2 centuries, where an racer with an futuristic racing car races against him and wins, leading to him thanking him after leaving his car before an lightning bolt falls on it to de-ghostify it back into being an real car as an gift, before he stretches his arms sideways, hands open pointing upwards alongside the head looking up, as the wind slowly dissipates him from existence with him having his eyes closed and his face in blissful happiness, vanishing into the other side, with his suffering finally coming to an end because he can finally move on after having been bested
Slightly scary, sounds like its trying to muffle/control the deafeningly loud strength it harbors, just like what street racing at night would feel like ig
The soundtrack instantly gives me mysterious and illegal vibes. No other game quite gives that kind of gritty underground street racing feeling other than Carbon.
Vibes/atmosphere are very important for a racing game. NFS Most Wanted 05 and Carbon had these vibes you were speaking of. It's that thing EA can't nail anymore. I don't need a cast of colorful characters that won't stfu in my racing game, I need atmosphere, I need a good soundtrack and I need mechanics that make me feel like I'm actually going fast in my cars again. I feel like an old man at 26 saying this but there was no reason for the NFS series to fall this hard the last few years
+Wolff Basically each car class had it's way of driving, Tuners where the cheapest, easiest to control but the slowest, Muscles ran the fastest but where hard to control, Exotics where the jack of all trades master of none but the most expensive in the game.
I remember being an 8yo kid for around 2008 who didn't know anything about this game but still watching my older brother's gameplay. This music, and the exotic black Alfa Romeo in the main menu are the first things that comes to mind when I see NFS Carbon anywhere.
exotic black afa romeo??? you what!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! only early game alpha to be seen is your grey one or nevilles retarded one (which in my 100s of playthroughs has never once graced me with its precense in the menu) u talking about the audi r8 (concept, basically retail car but still concept when game was in dev)
LOL I can't remember if it was black or grey anymore but I did search in YT and then I find out is actually the alfa romeo brera what I'm talking about
Man... NFS Carbon is still my standard for racing games. The tone is amazing. Makes the cars feel like you're tinkering with untapped sci-fi technology.
I loved how older games had music like this, specific to a certain scenario. Like here, it's for a class of car, Racedriver GRID and GRID 2 kicked in music at the end of the race and I remember the music in Carbon changing depending on how your race was going
Theres an alternative version of this track that plays when you're fighting for your life to catch (back?) up to the 1st place if memory serves and it goes absolutely bonkers. It lets you know that you're at an advantage but in spite of that need to put in your best effort to capitalize on it as it is a fleeting opportunity and awesomely encapsulates the aggression you need to apply to your play-style in these moments in order to do so... I guess its time to replay carbon again.
Your car was totalled while escaping from Cross. Select the car class you want to start with in your Career. This choice will determine which cars and parts you unlock when you conquer territory.
StarSonic55 Well I heard They Are releasing A Need For Speed Pack I think. Like it has has the old nfs like for example..Need for speed underground series or Most wanted 05 and this So I think that's cool But another than that let's hope they make another Good Need for speed game! :D
I always complete the game with an exotic, but today was my first time with a tuner ( Evo IX). However, this is my favourite theme out of the three ... and I always get sad when I hear it over the ending titles. Great game !
***** i TRIED FINISH WIT EXOTIC, but I was horrible in turns on the final run, so I build up a EVO and was really easy to me. I dont like the design of the EVO, but in the performance is a monster.
Absolutely, it may not have the best top speed but the handling compensates, especially when you take into consideration that there are many tricky twists and turns on the map.
TutosFaciles my preference of cars for canyons 1. M3 GTR 2. Corvette 3. Lancer Even though the Lancer has great handling it lacks speed Corvette has speed but kinda stiff handling M3 excels in both
TutosFaciles Great but my first Car was The Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (1999) and Customized it like how had Brian O'Connor did in the First Fast and Furious Movie.
while gran turismo gives us lo-fi, chill, cafe-relaxing music while browsing around, because that game is "legal" racing, then there is Carbon, an underground street racing scene. What a perfect contrast!
Opening the game is so nostalgic, even tho it's a sequel of Most Wanted, you see Darius' Audi Le Mans Quattro in the main menu. Good times. Good fucking times.
this music reminds of darkness on need for speed carbon streets and someone in a car is asking you if you want to race against him and you don´t know this guy so you´re a bit scared! but you have your lamborghini gallardo so what should happen? but remember you don´t know this guy who´s in that car!
Exotics are the best class... Why?: They have the perfect balance in the three points: Top speed, acceleration and handling. This means they can beat all muscles and tuners in all kind of tracks ;)
@@nobitwhat8325 Bro you are just focusing on engine, while handling and precision is the best point in a race. You can have good engine power, true, but what the heck is an engine power if your car slides like a soap? This is how muscle cars works, and this is why muscle cars are the worst class to race (You need A LOT of skills to beat the game with em). Tuner and exotics are far better and far more stable
@@x-49nightraven That doesn't mean you can underestimate exotics. Sure, it is difficult to master, but in the hands of skilled player, exotics can be frightening fast in corners AND straights.
Yeah haha, theres people out there that beat him with a tuner or something but I might've used a porche or viper I don't remember it's been a while. I might get the game again for probably the Wii or PS3.
For some reason, the music for the exotic cars has a experimental vibe. I thinks it's because the "exotic cars" usually are cars that were made to be vanguardist. Like instant classics... the Murcielago or the McLaren are examples for that. The people that buy those cars is like they are buying a super expensive painting that, with the pass of time, is going to atchieved more and more value.
This song sounds so futuristic, alien, and intimidating. Love it!
reminds me of the black porsche Carrera for some reason
They did their jobs well then.
It is quite fitting for exotic cars: unique body shapes, and extreme speeds.
@@az3253 me too, wtf
Like metroid prime
This music was so creepy but so entertaining at the same time!
Kind of reflecting the intimidating character of exotics.

before IV was released. those were the days
