  • Very fun, challenging and addictive
  • Amazing graphics and sound
  • Competitive AI drivers
  • Large game data stored to SD card and not internal memory

Cons

  • Game play is not smooth laggy and jerks at times
  • Shouldn’t be played on lower-end or less powerful Android phones

Features:

Asphalt 5 is a high-octane 3D accelerometer game for Android. Your goal is to win the race and rack up as much cash as possible for upgrades (get extra points for near crashes and drifting). You can upgrade to faster, cooler, sexier cars and even the winning girls. Truly benchmarks 3D gaming and graphics on Android phones.

Gripe Alert: game play is not as smooth as it should be even on high end Android devices; often laggy and jerks.

    Asphalt 5 has by far the best graphs on an Android phone by far. Yes, it can be a little jerky, even on a Droid, but still playable. I would higly recommend this game!!

    Here check out this YouTube video I made of the game:

      The controls are a bit wacky at times, but what really bugs me is the unrealistic racing. For example, if you stay at the front (1st) there will be many cars coming at you from the front (head on collision), but if you stay towards the back there aren’t as many. Realistically, shouldn’t they be equal? That, in addition to the annoyingly difficult eliminations, really ruin the whole experience for me. Most people trying out an arcade race game aren’t looking for super challenging levels, for they’re just playing for fun. Asphalt 5 doesn’t fit either criteria.

        I found with the eliminations, as I was struggling too, as well as ramming the cars off the road, if you just hit them from behind with full thrust, that does it too

    Looks great and it’s nice to see a game push the hardware for a change but it just can’t cope..
    You’ll be flying along and it’s nice and smooth then jump over a hill and meet a couple of other cars and the framerate drops like mad.

    It is just about playable but it’s a shame it wasn’t optimised better as these are the most powerful phones right now..

    Have this game on iPod Touch and Moto DROID…

    Missing from Moto DROID: Ability to use music stored on my phone a driving soundtrack, ability to play online…

    Game runs great on Galaxy S Fascinate. Never had the frame rates slow down, game runs smoothly, no matter what.

  5. Luis says:

    multiplayer?? gameloft live??

  6. Ralph says:

    I have to say, all the people that say this game lags at ANY point…are not using the right phone. I have the Captivate (Galaxy S) and this game rocks! The Nexus or Evo don’t have what it takes…. (Graphics wise)

  7. Mollie says:

    A highly addictive game with great graphics, and I didn’t have a problem with lag on my Samsung Galaxy S. My only gripe? No Aston Martins! :(

  8. mouse says:
