Speed is a matter of survival in the game’s trademark airborne gameplay engine, which features cars that will take to the skies with ramps and perform amazing stunts mid-flight, as well as the groundbreaking new controls experience, accessible for all audiences by default.

More than just a visual treat, Asphalt 8 also boasts for a garage of over 300 real-world cars from renowned brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini and Bugatti. Each car is indistinguishable from its real-life counterpart with accurate physics and mechanics that players can fine-tune and tailor to match their driving style and swag. Whether you prefer drifting through hairpins in a Nissan GT-R or tearing down straightaways in a Koenigsegg Jesko, the game indulges every automotive daydream.

The game is simple. Pick up your device and check the radar and missions at any time, with easy-to-follow touch controls including both tilt steering and multiple difficulty levels to suit everyone from casual game players to dedicated racing fans. The career mode is packed with hundreds of events ranging from regular races, to all-out crashing destruction and time trials. In the meantime, multiplayer enables players to race against opponents across the globe in real-time competition.

In short, this game is not only about racing but also dominating the road in style. If you crave speed, spectacle and pure automotive gluttony, Asphalt 8 is the gold standard.
