Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City (PSP)
“Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City,” released in October 2006 for the PSP, delivers an immersive street racing experience tailored for handhelds. Unlike its console counterparts, this version features a unique storyline where players race to uncover the truth behind a past incident, building a crew and taking over territories in Coast City.
The game boasts an open-world environment, a first for a Need for Speed title on PSP, allowing exploration and discovery of hidden routes and challenges. Players can customize over 25 real-world cars from muscle, tuner, and exotic classes, and utilize a crew system where wingmen offer unique abilities during races. Despite some minor criticisms regarding handling, it was praised for its robust content, engaging career mode, and impressive graphics for the PSP platform, making it a standout portable racer.
