    I am in my 30 and I liked the game. Critics here are kind of hard and I decided to create an account to write my opinion after 30% of the game done.

    Graphics are okay. I have a 2DS so I cannot talk about the 3D aspect, but the 2D is very nice. The load between race and menu is fast which is great. The control is great, I cannot play racing game on a phone but with the Nintendo2DS it was    I am in my 30 and I liked the game.

    It is not a perfect game, for example, the number of different tracks is limited to about 10. Even if you have about 70 races in the competition mode, most of them are repeated. Also, I do not like the fact that we have random car in the track. They are also going on the other way of the road which I guess was added to add more difficulty to the game. The difficulty is not very high but still fun to play. I also have a hard time to see car coming in the other direction because of the angle of the camera. Even if you can change from 3 positions, none seems perfect to see clearly what obstacles are coming. This is also the case with powerup that are so big and opaque that it hides coming vehicle. Nevertheless, this game is playable, fun and enjoyable. You are getting experience and money that you can apply on a lot of items in the game like booster, car parts, etc. This make the game fun between races.

    So far, the game said that I have done 30% in about 4 hours. So, I guess I'll be done within 10-12 hours. The replayability is good since you can play in free-mode against your past performance. Drifting is great, I really like it and easy to do. However, it is not as great as Grid game from the PC one where I was so thrilled about. But, this is ain't a drifting game but available. The difference between car does not seem to be very remarkable which is sad since some car cost (fake money) a lot. A weird thing is that even with a very fast car, it is impossible to start a race without being last in the track -- your car just cannot accelerate as fast as others.

    To conclude, this game is fun. It is not a 10/10 but for sure not under a 4/10. I have paid that game 15$ which is the maximum you should pay. In fact, this is a 10$ game in my opinion. However, even if I have pay more, I still give that game a 6/10.    … Expand

    Ok, get this straight: Asphalt 3D is just (kind of) a port of Asphalt 5 for iOS onto a 3DS. The gameplay is Ok, but it doesn't feel like you are actually playing an official Asphalt game. It has everything a normal Asphalt game would have, but it has more. This might not be a problem, but you have to do three laps for each race. It has plenty of glitches and as a plus, the are cops tryingOk, get this straight: Asphalt 3D is just (kind of) a port of Asphalt 5 for iOS onto a 3DS.

Its not as epic as a normal Asphalt game would feel, and not as immersive either. The 3D effects are not so good. But sure, if you are a casual gamer who happens to have a 3DS and no iPhone or Android, get this game. If you have a mobile phone, get Asphalt 8.

    It's definitely not the best, but not the worst.    … Expand

    There is no excuse for how pathetic this game is. I don't actually own it. I played it on a friend's 3ds and HAD to review it. I got better value from the Iphone asphalt game. Asphalt 6 cost me 1 dollar in a special gameloft sale, and that game runs more smoothly, has better graphics...honestly....this is putrid.

    No sé que tanto la gente tenía expectativa en ese juego pero bueno... para mi es una buena entrega de Asphalt. Cierto que hay mejores y que habian cosas por mejorar pero no esta nada mal lo que hicieron para un juego de salida.

    Very terrible mostly once you're driving through each street you can't even see most of the cars from somewhat far away. It is terrible, annoying and and always jolts the screen and flickers. I'd give it at least a 1.5/ 5 not even a 1.

    This is one of the worst 3DS Games I have played. You are better off getting Asphalt on your Phone as its better graphics and the 3ds version is just a lower graphics and glitchier version of the Phone version. If your looking for a racing game on the Nintendo 3DS just get Mario Kart 7 as its a way better game.

    Pese a que es un juego de celular no se le saco el mayor provecho para que este cumpliera con la N3Ds siendo un juego mas interesante en el celular mas que en la consola, por otro lado es un juego descuidado, es como si fuera un juego de poligonos de la N64 en nuestra generacion lo cual ya no llama la atencion a menos que su jugabilidad sea buena, pero hasta en eso el juego es pesimo

    Buenos gráficos (dentro del margen de la 3ds), buenos controles y niveles. Es verdad que a veces no rinde del todo, como debería ser, pero eso no destruye la experiencia, a día de hoy hay mejores juegos de asphalt, así que no renta comprar este juego por más de 14$, por ejemplo, pero podéis pasar un buen rato.

    A decent game that could be better, but you have to admit, with this great selection of cars, amazing graphics and simple controls. The car controls terribly when using the nitro boost though.

    In the end, Asphalt 3D falls below gamers' expected standards. As far as technical aspects go, the controls are fine, while the sound and graphics have some issues. The gameplay is solid enough, but there are very questionable mechanics in play that either do nothing to the experience or ruin a few good moments. Multiplayer is limited by closing off every other mode but one for play, but at least the game makes good use of the StreetPass feature. For racing fans who have become early adopters of the 3DS handheld, stick with Ridge Racer 3D for your racing fix. If you've already grown tired of that game, then try renting this one to see if you can overcome the flaws and squeeze some enjoyment from the title.

    Asphalt 3D is an extremely poor port that does not utilize any of the capabilities of the 3DS to any good extent.

    It's almost a relief that the game struggling to break free from these severe technical shortcomings is mundane. [May 2011, p.104]
