![]() These get parked (logically) in a garage. After a while, you'll be able to boost its performance and durability, but initially you're limited to cosmetics, such as a new paint job:Īt any given time you've got multiple cars to pick from. I mentioned above that your car can be heavily customised. For example, at the start of each race, such a sequence (including your chosen car and graphics scheme) is created and rendered - here are few screens from such an example: Interestingly, the level of detail in the video sequence isn't that much higher than in the game's 3D world, we're getting to the point with these titles when everything that needs to be shown can be generated and rendered 'on the fly'. Mimicking Asphalt on other platforms, the game opens with a pre-rendered video sequence to set the atmosphere (this can be tapped through to skip it after the first few watches): The level of slickness on offer here is very high.

Up to five stars are earned per race based on the results and the completion of additional objectives.You may remember that Asphalt 5 HD was released in the first crop of 'HD' games for Symbian^3 phones in the Ovi Store, about six months ago. The events are also organized differently with a Free Play mode as well as a Career mode with different leagues and additional challenges. It can be used when the nitro meter is completely filled up and makes the car invincible for a short period while giving a speed boost.Ĭompared to the smartphone version, the game does not have the Under Pressure mode, but instead adds a Wanted mode where a number of laps need to be completed while avoiding road blocks and while being chased by the police.
