"Game Informer’s July issue has the World Exclusive first look at EA Black Box’s Need For Speed Carbon, and we’re teasing this month’s Game Informer Unlimited a day early with a little treat. Game Informer Online is proud to debut the first trailer for Need For Speed Carbon. This 60 second trailer will give you a quick taste of the highly anticipated canyon duels you’ll race in Carbon when it screeches to consoles this November.

Need For Speed Carbon is not the sequel to Most Wanted 2, and EA Black Box is steering the franchise in a fresh new direction. The game has a team focus, and this time racers will have AI teammates that have RPG-light upgradable skill sets. Members helping you blaze across the finish line include a blocker, pathfinder, drafter, fabricators, mechanics, and fixer.

Speedsters will be able to choose from more than 50 cars from three class styles including muscle cars, exotics, and tuners. Players who like to tweak their rides will love the new auto sculpting feature which allows you to modify a number of different auto parts much like how you would create a player in Tiger Woods with game face.

One of the parts of the game that we’re looking forward to the most are the canyon duels against the boss characters. In these white knuckle races you’ll be screaming down winding canyon roads, all the while trailing your opponent as close as possible. Take a turn too wide and you’ll most likely take a leap off a cliff that even Greg Louganis would shy away from.

Dying for more on Need For Speed Carbon? The July issue has just hit newsstands, Game Informer Unlimited goes live on Thursday, and subscribers will get even more exclusive content for all the games featured in this month’s magazine. Not only that, but Game Informer Online will get to take a spin with Carbon in mid-July for our first hands-on preview of the game!
