EA is at it again. From Major Nelson comes word that

EA is offering 11 items for Need For Speed: Carbon on XBox Live Marketplace that you could unlock by playing the game. Purchasing all of them costs 3,780 Microsoft Points, or about $50 of your Earth dollars. While the idea of downloadable content is neat, ha

Whatever comments people had about Carbon, I can see it was because of an apparently lousy demo. Having bought it for my 4 year old son and watching him play it, lots has improved in the game. I wouldn't say it's leaps and bounds ahead of Most Wanted, but I find it plays better, not laggy at all for me and even the online play is quite good. I'd say more they 'opened' up the game a little more for customizations, movies are way better and yes the graphics are a lot improved since Most Wanted if you actually open your eyes. Does it compare to a Xbox 360 racing game? Well it's close.

One thing I'll tell ya that I found made the game look good and not overdone was remove the way over done blur...I have everything else on max and blur off. Looks very good.
