Need for Speed: Carbon - Own the City (2006)
Genres:Racing
Themes:Sandbox
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Although this version of Need for Speed: Carbon - Own the City shares its name with its counterparts, the game is completely different. Unlike the other versions there is no canyon racing or drift racing.
The goal of the game is to build up a gang of the best racers and take over all the city's territories. The driving is all city-based similar to the open world of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. The tuner culture/car customization features started in Need for Speed Underground are also present.
There is a light story, presented as comic book style illustrations, that unfolds as the player take over territories and complete chapters.Show more

I remember playing this on my DS. I believe Carbon games & Underground were the games the owners of Need for speed shelved and refused to release to Steam ever... So would be great to play them again- especially the console/main versions of the game. I totally don't mind if the DS version doesn't make it up here :) Finished this game one summer holiday while camping in a hot January years ago.
Need for Speed: Most WantedThe player arrives in Rockport City, driving a racing version of the BMW M3 GTR (E46). Following Mia Townsend (played by Josie Maran), the player proves his driving prowess as he is pursued by a veteran police officer named Sergeant Cross (played by Dean McKenzie), who vows to take down the player and end street racing in Rockport.
Races seem to be in the player's favor until a particular group of racers, led by the game's antagonist, Clarence "Razor" Callahan (played by Derek Hamilton), sabotages and win the player's car in a race.Trending Open world
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.Trending Action
The Need for SpeedWelcome to The Need For Speed racing game. Here you'll find spine-tingling action coupled with awesome graphics. As you race down an alpine road in your choice of eight high performance cars, you'll be amazed by the detail and realism. The sophisticated physics model recreates the feel of the cars themselves; you'll notice the difference in handling, breaking and just plain power. Plan your strategy for each track, there are six to choose from during regular play, and each demands a different style of driving.
There's also a bonus track if you win the Tournament. There are four game modes to try, with an option to compete against another driver over a modem. With different cars, different tracks, and different styles of racing fueling your need for speed, you'll find your addiction growing to a fewer pitch. No need to worry, when you crash and burn in the game, there's always another day.

Evolution GTEvolution GT is the first game in which racing sim and RPG come together to create an exceptional mix of fantasy and fun. These two elements have been developed to offer the gamer a new experience that goes beyond a simple race on a track. The core of the game is an innovative career mode that allows the virtual driver to evolve, from his first races to the maximum level of professionalism.
The gamer has the ability to customise the driver by going through the typical phases of character creation, typical of RPGs, such as improving his skills starting from the driver attitude: aggressivity, intuition, imperturbability and reliability. By joining a team, each driver will develop his own driving style, thus influencing his own growth.
Improving the driver and making him first of the class will require top driving abilities and Gabriele Tarquini, the Italian champion, will be fundamental with his tips on how to improve his driving technique.
It's possible to hone the driver's skills by playing with the different game modes.
Career (or Season) Mode consists in a series of races on different tracks but the driver's growth is not so linear. Each race allows collecting experience points and victory gives the best score. Opponents too will do the same and it's important not to let them through. Challenges consist in 27 specific trials divided into 9 categories, they are all very challenging and directed towards the improvement of a specific skill associated to the driver. Winning challenges is a key factor to maintaining your driver competitive.
Quick races are completely arcade races, meaning that there won't be any customisable car asset, although the driver's skills will influence his driving.
Practice is an experience which allows getting abilities and equipment for the driver and can be either a race against opponents or against time. In split screen multiplayer mode the gamer can choose between a single race, a championship or Survivor mode. A Championship is a variety of races that the gamer can choose.
The realism of the game is very immersive and the stress and the pressure from the opponents can be felt but thanks to the Tiger Effect it's possible to go back in time and correct an error.
All this is topped with spectacular sceneries which make Evolution GT a unique game in its genre: fluidity of the game in all its locations, circuits or urban streets, the variety of sceneries, London, Berlin, Barcelona, Milan and Florence, countryside streets in the Cote Azure and the Scottish Highlands, Hockenheim and Donington, the details and the variety of cars such as Alfa Romeo, Audi, Bugatti, Chevrolet, Mercedes, Opel, Pagani, Pontiac, Renault, SEAT, TVR, Vauxhall and Volkswagen.
35 officially licensed cars, all with damage system.
