Why you can trust GamesRadar+
Another bummer is the online multiplayer (or lack thereof). The only way to play against your friends is to go DS-to-DS (either download or 4-way), so unless you've got some buddies with the game in tow, there's no online action to be had. Why, oh why, no wi-fi?
So while Carbon won't necessarily offend your street racing senses, it's won't knock your socks off either. One thing's for sure - it beats the hell out of last year's Most Wanted DS title, but since that's not saying much at all, we say take another pass this time around.
