Canyon
Carbon also features races that take place on Canyons. Canyon roads have sharper, more winding tracks when compared to the city. Certain barriers in canyons will also give way if the player's car hits them, leading to them coming off the canyon and losing the race. Crew members cannot be used in Canyon races.
Canyon Sprint: A race from the top of a canyon to the bottom.
Canyon Checkpoint: Same as a checkpoint, but on a canyon.
Canyon Drift: Players drive down the canyon similar to a Canyon Sprint. Points are earned by drifting - the faster you drift, the more points you get. Multipliers are earned by maintaining clean sections. The player with the most points wins.
Canyon Duel: A Canyon Duel consists of two stages. In the first, the player follows an opponent down a canyon road. The closer you follow the opponent, the more points you earn. In the second stage, the opponent follows the player along the same route. The closer the opponent follows, the more points that are lost. To win, the player must finish with more than zero points, lose the opponent for more than 10 seconds or overtake the opponent for more than 10 seconds.
do you know how damn hard it is, to keep up with that in the first part, and stay ahead of it in the 2nd, with only a porsche cayman??? keeping in mind you can fly off the road and have to restart the entire race...
i have NEVER had a more aggervating race in my life on any game... i've had some pretty damn aggervating races.
I haven't played Carbon but I played Underground a lot. And I've played the older games like Hot Pursuit 2 and High Stakes. Fun games but yeah they can get tough at times. Love racing games :rasta:
i'm STILL stuck on this damn race.... and i'm quickly losing my patients... i've pretty much been donig this race non stop since i posted this..Quote:

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :( :( :( :(
nearly.. what? 4 hours on a 4 minute race??
omg... :mad:
my... fucking..... god!
4 hours....
and i beat it by less than .5 seconds...
nice one canyons can be hard. i walked the game pretty easily cus i got the aston martin from my first canyon from the cards you get at the end. that thing tweaked is fast as fuck and handles like a scaletrix. on the canyons i always go for the overtake.
peace

i was having so much trouble becuase in order to keep up with him i had to pretty much never brake... so i often went flying off the side...Quote:

The best game in the car is the Mercedes Benz SLR McClaren, costs 216,000 dollars but is well worth it.
I literally beat Carbon over 12 times, though I still only had 98% of the game completed, however. There were I think 8 of those little squares I didn't have done.
Anyway, I never really found the game that difficult, especially not four hours long on a Canyon Duel. I've always liked EA'S underground racing games so I've been into them since part one, and I've played them almost religiously; so I guess I just have the handling down pat.
By the end of it, I was using the unlockable 1992 Nissan and getting all the way to Silverton (I think is what it was called) and having to switch over to a Tier 3. In my opinion, the Tier 2 cars all all shit.
If you're a good enough racer, you can take a Tier 1 all the way until you can afford a Tier 3. I deliberately used the RX 8 or the RX 7 and was able to beat all but the last canyon races.
My first few time I played it, though, I used only Muscles, and the first time I played I was able to get the Dodge Supercharger RT (I think is what it was called) and the way I tuned it was to get from 1-188 (maxing it out) in literally under 10 seconds. No matter how many mistakes I made at turns, I could ALWAYS catch up to a guy in that.
All this talk of Carbon is making me want to go out and buy it again when I literally just sold it back to Gamestop not even 2 months ago.
and PS, even if you tune the McClaren for top speed and horsepower the SLR can still out-accelerate many of the cars (instead for some of the muscles) and it can reach over 240 miles per hour (if you can keep it under control long enough). So I would DEFINITELY suggest trying to get it, it's fun as HELL.
That or buy the Mitsubishi Lancer, that car has the best handling in the game and it can out maneuver any other car, including the new Skyline.
i'm not big into EA's games... i prefer Midnight club..... if the game was exactly the same (in steering/accelration etc...) i coulda beat this game in about 1 day... but they are drasticly diffrent...
i'm pretty much untouchable in career modes in midnight club even tho i often use lesser cars due to me not liking the model of the higher up cars... hell in midnight club II i took the muscle car all the way to mid-tokyo... (which is the last map in the game, and the muscle car is like the third car you get, while still in LA, it is severely gimp'd compared to other cars.... and in MCII there is no upgrading cars...)
i'm a good racer, just not on the platform/engine EA uses...i'm used to everything blurring by me and having to use aLOOOOOOOT of hand braking to make turns... ea's engine always seems way slower to me...
at any rate i beat the game long ago lol... i really don't liek the fact that you are only allowed so many cars.... that's gay... i'm still working at owning every single car in MCIII:Remix i'm about half way done... there's easily 100-200 cars to own in MCIII
i really liked in carbon how you could use the autoscuplt feature tho...
oh and it was this and only this race that was giving me problems... it was right before i unlocked tier 3 cars, but they were using teir 3... the only way i could keep up, was to use no brakes.... my entire problem was i kept flying off the side at those breakable gaurdrail points.... i'd do good but i'd fly off the road... or if i tried to brake so i'd make it all the way to the end i just wouldn't have enough points to make it to the end when it was my turn to be chased....
i se your really in the game but then there is cheat codes .Quote:

or if i get stuck on a part of a game (for an hour or more) i'll open up a strategy guide to get past that part.... but tha's it.
