Game Information

By: Electronic Arts
Genre: Arcade Racing Simulation
Release Date: October 30, 2006
Players: 1
Version: Retail, patched to version 1.3 Need for Speed: Carbon is a sequel to last year's Need for Speed: Most Wanted. You play the same nameless character, having just escaped from Rockport with the insane Sgt. Cross on your tail. You total your car as he chases you, but just as he's about to nab you, a friend of yours steps in and pays him off. Now it's up to you help your friend battle for turf and get to the top of Palmont City's blacklist...err, street racing circle.

Widescreen Support

Method

This game, like Most Wanted before it, does not support any resolution above 1024x768 without hassle. The easiest way to get Widescreen, or any other "uncommon" (EA's words) resolution - like, oh, 1280x1024 - is to use Racer_s's wonderful NFSCRes: Link
