Need for Speed: Carbon/Gameplay

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

Tips

1. When you turn into a 90degree or sharper corner, go as far as you can to the wall on the other side on the wall, and then the front of your cars it close the where the two walls intersect, make the turn. This prevents you from hitting the wall most of the time.

2. Brake before going into a turn, so you can make it, and then accelerate through the rest of the turn. If you hit the wall, use NOS to regain your speed.

3. NOS Dosen't just work as a accelerater, if you lose control of your car, or if you're drifting too much, use a steady amount of NOS to regain control, because NOS pushes your can straight foward.

4. You can draft almost ANYTHING. As long as they are in front of you, just stay right behind them and you can draft anyone. use this to get in front of a opponent who is just too fast.

5. Not all shortcuts are good shortcuts, some shortcuts (like the one on the curve in chinatown) take longer to go through than taking a actual path. However this may not apply on shortcuts with lots of turns if you drive a good tuner.
