There are in-app purchases to help you in the game, but i recommend you to just use them in the events.

    Awesome graphics [✔️]
    Awesome multiplayer [✔️]
    Awesome content [✔️]

As the game being "unrealistic", well, depends on the point of view. The gravity is easy to feel while racing although some wrecks might feel a bit "unrealistic" but its not noticeable. The only thing I think could be better is the garage, I feel lack of some more options and the upgrades (although many like them to be instantaneous) I kinda like them more with a timer. Nothing worth in life is instantaneous. BUT STILL.. I GIVE IT A 10!! Must buy!… Expand

    Best Asphalt game, graphics are excellent. People who complain about this game are those with low end mobile phones which has difficulty running this game. It's only 69p on Google Play and it beats many console racing games.

    Best Asphalt game, The level design is great! and the crazy stuff like jumps, barrel rolls, crashes...etc The physics are amazing and the game modes are fun. I like a lot the infection mode. I adition of all of this, the multiplayer is very well done. For me this is the best car racing in mobile until now.

    The most realistic, fun, and immersive mobile game I've ever played. The naysayers say it's just another Gameloft ploy to get money, but the game is largely based on skill, not in-app purchases. The more stars you get in a race, the more money you get. Simple. So, KorNk, it's not a 2/10, you just stink. You're probably just the one I beat in the game's rewarding multiplayer.

    The game is ultimately fun with various locations to race your opponents and hundreds of iconic cars and motorcycles. I wish this game could be ported on console since it would look and run on a PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Overall, this is one of best racing games to play on mobile or PC.

    Adameq2000, are you a complete buffoon?

    "THIS GAME ISN'T REALISTIC"? Dumbest comment ever. It's the same as saying Street Fighter 2 isn't realistic. It's not supposed to be, it's an arcade game! Go play Forza or Gran Turismo if you want realism. This game is in the vein of Burnout. 2/10, really? You should never be allowed to express your opinion here again, get a clue.

    This is a must buy game. And for this price it's just fantastic. But sometimes this game is a bit unrealistic.

    Asphalt 8 is a fantastic racing game for iOS! It has stunning visuals, a wide variety of cars and maps, and great customization. The only thing I would complain about is the overly-sensitive steering. 9/10 (awesome)

    The graphics are stunning for a 2013 game on a mobile device! There's so many cars you can try and so many tracks, this game by far is absolutely stunning and amazing in terms of gameplay. But what I don't like is the boosters, there are boosters in the game that for example, can give you double the nitro tanks or full boost when you start.

    I played this game on mobile for 6 years. now i'm playing on pc.

    oh, will the 5000 character limit be enough? graphics and optimization. You can play easily even on potato pc. also on phones.

    p2w status. there is no exaggerated p2w level. Of course, you can improve faster by giving money, but it is possible to improve by playing a little more without paying. If you say you have time, you can earn more money by watching advertisements at the end of the race and watching advertisements in the menu. But, the packages are too expensive for some countries. For example, for Turkey.

    vehicle prices. If you noticed, I say a vehicle, not a car. because there are motors in the game too! vehicle prices have never been stable. 5000 units of cars become 300,000 in one price change update and 200,000 in another price change update. like the economies of poor countries. There is never a fixed price. With the new currency swap token that came about 1-2 years ago, many cars are now sold with swap tokens. likewise, vehicle upgrades are now done entirely with this new incoming exchange token. I think it was good that it came, but it broke the game.

    festivals. It comes once in a while like the battle passes you know and takes about 1-2 weeks. Then it doesn't come for 1-2 weeks and a new festival is coming. You can get very good vehicles by investing money in these festivals. You do not need to deposit any money. By not investing money, you can get vehicles that are a little weaker than the ones with money.

    storage. It takes up 4GB on mobile and only 4.4GB on PC. Of course, it can increase to these dimensions by downloading the incoming updates.
    You can also play the game with xbox consoles.

    The game does not tell a story.

    cheat protection is weak. Very rarely, speed cheaters may come to your races. You can also cheat money with cheat engine on pc. on mobile by downloading apk version.

    play the game by downloading the first version if you wish. You will see with your eyes that the game is very good and playable even in 2013-2014.    … Expand

    The graphics are amazing for an iOS device, that's my first sentence about it, I picked this game up for €0,00 in the appstore, and yes, it was worth it.

    If you play it and can't win you can't do anything, that's it. Or you have to pay.. the star thing to unlock is annoying sometimes because the levels are too hard in some game modes, and another thing. The roads are so annoying sometimes, to big short routes, if you take the long one once you won't win anymore, and when you jump over some bridges it is not possible to jump without ending crushed when you don't have nitro, and that's even more annoying because you have to do it over and over again when crushed.

    But all by all, I rate this game an 76, so 8, it's really fun for iOS!    … Expand

    Asphalt 8: Airborne is an intuitive racer with a large variety of race modes and cars to take for a spin. It provides plenty of content for its price at first, but the business model forces grinding or heavy purchases in the late-game.
