if your talking control, I tried the asphalt 4 with a friend's zeemote joystick, now THAT is great control.

Doesn't work with my iphone though

Oh and everyone was bitching about some iPhone game not having licensed cars… well all of those cars look pretty licensed to me! And Burnout doesn't even have that (licensors don't like their cars involved in crashes – I know having worked on a couple of racing games).

Wow, that Asphalt 5 looks great! I don't know anything about previous screenshots and don't really live my life by previous promises and the like. I take things for what are being presented and it looks really hot!

Looks like Burnout 3-ish. If that's the case, I'm totally in!

One thing people need to realize is that the iPhone is NOT a PS3/X360 or even a Wii for that matter. The level of performance / capability is more akin to a Dreamcast or … MAYBE a Gamecube… but that would be a stretch.

That said, a Dreamcast is no slouch and to have a Dreamcast in your hand… AWESOME!

And to get a solid Burnout clone, in my hand for <$10!?! Priceless!

EWJ definitely looks awesome! I hope the controls hold up because if they do it'll be perfect!

I take it English is not your first language.

Simply put: I care more about good controls than I do graphics. If Asphalt 5 controls as Asphalt 4 originally did, before the update to 4 ruined the controls of the game, then it'll be good. If it controls like 4 did after the update then it'll be bad.

There. Simple enough for you?

EWJ looks spot-on. As a video game developer, when EWJ came out in the 90s, we were all floored at how amazing the art was and how they were able to get so many unique "tiles" and such incredible sprite animation in a 16bit game.

That being said, there has yet to be a decent port of EWJ to any system. Some have "looked" great but the control, for whatever reason, just isn't there.

So, if a d-pad/button-based platform can't get the controls right, I'd be very surprised if it works on the iPhone (although, I REALLY hope it translates because I love this game).
