Asphalt 8 Airborne Review: Intense Arcade Racing

whether you’re winding your way through twisting Venice streets at breakneck speed or soaring into the London air (in precisely the way cars usually don’t), it’s clear Asphalt 8 doesn’t take itself very seriously.

Asphalt’s own abrupt crash comes in the way of its business model. Events are locked and rely on you acquiring enough stars (for coming first and also performing certain actions within races) and cars (certain types/brands are needed to enter specific events).
