And each map features a host of alternate routes to explore and conquer. Brand new physics engine. Gate Drift & Infected. In Gate Drift you’re challenged to ‘drift’ through multiple gates. The more you get through, the more points you get. While, Infected is more of a big game of tag. One player starts as ‘infected’ and must hit another car to pass the infection along and regain their health. If they don’t pass the infection to someone within 20 sec they’re eliminated. Pull death-defying stunts, destroy objects in your path, and catch major air off ramps all thanks to the new physics system! But, don’t think you’ll be by yourself on these epic tracks.

For some local buddies and me personally each Asphalt series version (since Asphalt 4/iPhone 3G) was always our favorite iOS action/arcade game and since the iPad best video game of all times and all consumer software/hardware platforms because of the exciting local multiplayer features!

Made this screenshot with my iPad 4 right now (tap/click for original pixel resolution): With Audi R8 e-tron in French Guiana. Short test on iPhone 4 (no online multiplayer, only local via WiFi what's okay for me), iPhone 5 and iPad 3: Passed. Failed: iPad orig.

The iap simply unlocks the next series in the championship quicker, unlocks that will happen through very normal and expected gameplay on their own anyway. You can buy more cash and the usual but its all null essentially as everything in game is earnable through normal gameplay easily and is merely for the extremely, and I mean extremely, impatient. Easily the new best arcade racer on iOS that has already got the best reviews of a racing game that I've ever read for iOS. Plus a complete and utter steal at the price. Just enormous value for money in a visually amazing (on newer devices anyway) and utterly entertaining game.
