Inside Mac Games has posted a review of Electronic Arts' recently released racer, Need for Speed: Carbon. Here's a clip from the review:

Racing games generally fall somewhere on a spectrum between realistic and arcade style. NFS: Carbon in many respects falls firmly on the arcade side of the spectrum, opting for easy gameplay at the expense of realism. The first races are very easy to win, and you'll find that the game doesn't get significantly harder until you've reached about the 20% mark of your career. From that point the races will take a sharp upward curve in difficulty, going from really easy in some cases to very hard. For example, I was able to win my first canyon drift race easily and almost on my first try. My second drift race was a completely different story, requiring countless efforts and help from my racing gamer brother (with a 90,000 point drift) before we finally beat it.
