While other arcade racers like Burnout will dazzle graphically, Asphalt Injection merely earns a passing grade. The game has a ton of events to choose from, as well as a variety of game modes, yet racing on the same tracks gets old really fast. The same cannot be said for tracks, though, as there are only fifteen of them. Whether you want to race in the aforementioned Honda, a BMW or a Ford Mustang, Asphalt Injection has you covered. Surprisingly, Asphalt Injection has a decent amount of cars to choose from.
Even more frustrating is the fact that things like turbo seem to have no real effect on your position in the race. Even though the speedometer says that you are going 300 mph in a Honda sedan that your grandmother probably drives, don’t believe it. Instead it feels like you are going at varying degrees between slow and somewhat fast. You don’t get the sense of speed that would make the game exciting. The problem with Asphalt Injection is that it is not a particularly good arcade racing game. Whether you will have the least bit of interest in Asphalt Injection depends on if you are more of a Ridge Racer fan or a Gran Turismo fan. While it has some light customization elements, the focus here is clearly on quick races rather than authentic, real-to-life mechanics. Does Asphalt Injection buck the trend?Īsphalt Injection is a straight-up, unapologetic arcade racer. The original was actually not that bad for an N-Gage title, but all subsequent iterations have proven to be budget quality at a full retail price. If you have ever experienced one of the Asphalt games in the past you already know how underwhelming they historically have been. On the courses, the player can find alternative routes and power-ups like turbo boosts or cash.īesides the career, there is also a free playing mode (playing single events) and multiplayer for up to eight players.Disclosure: We may earn a commission from links on this pageĭeveloper: Gameloft Publisher: Ubisoft Release Date: FebruAvailable On: Vita Those new cars along with upgrades are purchased with money earned by finishing events. Each event rewards stars depending on player's performance and solving extra objectives which in turn unlock more of the 52 licensed cars. Overall the game features 10 racing modes: the new urban destruction mode (destroying items), normal races, time attack (checkpoint races), elimination (after a timer runs out, the last racer gets eliminated), cop chase (avoiding to get caught by cops), beat'em all (taking the opposition out by crashing them), collector (collecting items), drifting, duel (races against a single car) and under pressure (everyone crashes against the player).
The heart of the game is the career mode in which the player shoots up the ranks by winning events - there are overall 20 leagues with five events each.
