Its not hugely important at the start of the game as unlocking the better cars happens pretty quickly, but as all your opponents drive similar levels of car to yours it becomes important to get the advantage wherever you can in the tougher races. You can select anything from its colour to its crankshafts, and progressing further in the career lets you buy more expensive parts, increasing your top speed, acceleration, control and more. Starting a career sees you pick from a tiny selection of cars (I went for the Mini a classic) and hitting the streets to take part in a simple road race, but later on there are one-on-one duels, challenges to take down a certain number of racers, cop races, cash challenges and more.Īlthough Asphalt 4 might seem a fairly straightforward racing game on the surface, theres plenty of variety in its challenges and its clear to see it models itself on the current crop of home console racers such as the Project Gotham and Burnout series, particularly with its use of real-world cities and takedowns.Ī quick tap of the B button will send you into a classic arcade tailspin as your back-end swings out wildly, which although satisfying at first can take a bit of getting used to if OutRun or Ridge Racer are more your usual racing tipple. Sadly theres two pretty big flaws with the touch screen control that stop it from being a really satisfying control scheme: sometimes the wheel doesnt reset properly to its central position resulting in a few infuriating crashes, but more annoying is the way holding the wheel alone is enough to slow you to a crawl, making it almost impossible to compete in the harder races using the touch screen.

Switching to stylus control has its problems too at first holding down accelerate whilst steering feels unnatural and can be very awkward, but using your index finger instead of a stylus certainly helps.
