Upgrades come quickly and plentifully, but the challenge is there - this "balance" is what is missing in so many racing games, the ability to dive right in with little learning curve, yet is still not easy to master. The car selection is strong, the mods are cool enough, the characters are enjoyable (if not over-the-top), and again, the sound/music is maybe the best of the series, overall.
Its not perfect - later sessions in the game become almost impossibly difficult (for me, resulting in eventually giving up on the final race), but until that point, it walked a fine line between difficultly and enjoyability.
My favorite thing about the game, though, is the inherent "slickness", from the menus to the chrome paint of the cars, it just glldes in and out of actions and cutscenes and interface screens like its on rails. It has a "look" about it, and its something more games need, that cohesiveness that more than makes up for the weak points. For the price, a must have racer.
Overall, I loved NFS Carbon, and although it is not quite on the level of its predecessor, it most certainly is a solid racing game on its own.
Update:
Well im almost near the end of the game. This is where the game becomes frusterating. Since the game lacks on having a lot of cars on the last city to take over all the cars are tier 3. While yours is tier 2. To unlock 3 mediocre tire 3 cars (Nissan skyline (tuner), Corvette (muscle), Lambo (exotic) you must use your tier 2 car against these faster cars. This is where you simply need luck to win. Its very impossible to win a speedtrap since the other cars horsepower is beyond faster than yours. This is where you need that lambo. Problem is at the beginnig of the game it asks which preference of cars you have. I have picked the tuners because the whole point of the game is to use tuners not muscle or exotic cars. There isnt that many to begin with. Using the lambo I noticed the car feels very stiff. Its fast but stiff. Its good agaist speedtrap races but not actual races. So now im stuck with the skyline which is a tiny bit faster than my tier 2 rx 7. While the handling is great. Its frusterating that I havemt even unlocked most parts for tier 3 still making me slower than the rest of the other cars who have a better performance and nos. I feel like the main challenge of the game is when you reach 68%. Overall the game is fine but the lack of cars and having to use tier 2 to use tier 3 cars is just a bit cruel.
