NFS C: No stand-alone LAN mode?

NFS C: No stand-alone LAN mode?

Friday, 27.10.2006

The onlinemode of Need for Speed Carbon offers many new modes but singleplayer and multiplayer over LAN may have become less important in this release.

As it seems there won't be a splitscreen mode and not even a LAN mode! You'll need a broadband internet connection and an account at EA Online. Only with this matchup-service you'll be able to search for other players.

The singleplayer mode doesn't seem to be very exciting either: Our colleagues at Cynamite.de played a testversion of Need for Speed Carbon for 6 hours and already finished 65% in the story-mode. The story should be a bit confusing, so that it doesn't really motivate the player. But they find the cars and their different styles much more exciting.

According to Cynamite.de NFS Carbon is less fun than its predecessor Most Wanted. Main reason: The exciting pursuits with the police are significantly decreased. They are not longer than three minutes and are more disturbing routine. The new canyon races, where you can fall from the cliffs, cannot make this even.

We'll see whether this is true, or Cynamite just didn't like the game for whatever reasons...
We hope we can get more information about the LAN mode soon.
