  Now I hope it's not just me who thinks this but in my opinion (for what it's worth) the Need for Speed games seem to have gotten slightly worse since NFS Carbon, anyone elses thought on this are much welcomed
  
  The best games in the NFS line
  
  Most Wanted
  Carbon

  Need for Speed peeked with the original Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. It was all downhill from there on.
  
  Underground was fun if a little frustrating at times. And shift was very entertaining, especially when my mate got irate at me for doing stuff that shouldn't possible in a 'simulation' (which was what Shift was meant to be).

  I voted for Most Wanted, because i think that was when the series was at it`s best, although it was a close one between Most wanted and Carbon,
  not a fan of Shift it was supposed to be a simulator but it wasn`t quite simulation enough(if that makes sense) plus i found Shift awkward to control.

  100% agreed, Most Wanted & Carbon Even though not looking as visually good as the newer games, I found so much better for the gameplay

  I actually think that Most wanted and Carbon have aged quite well visually, (possibly due to the fact that to render cars looking realisticly is i'd imagine easier than rendering people graphics wise)
  Anyway i think one of the most fun features in Carbon was the Canyon Races, except for those moments where you over did the accelerator going into a corner and smashed through the barrier.

  the canyon duels were actually a genius invention and very frustrating, especially when you lose on points just before crossing the line lol, they were the hardest thing to do on split screen

  I did enjoy the canyon duels, i had a habit of getting too over confident when i was doing well and taking the corner too fast and skidding madly off the edge and losing badly lol, still a great mode to play though, just learned never to do it in the american muscle cars they could never do the corners.
