    I want to love this game but there are obvious efforts to milk extra cash out of players. I don't mind a free to play having purchasable options, but when there is a Virtual Gas system and everything is a Loot Box "Packs of Cards" it takes away from what could have been a really great game. On top of the Gas System, the races are so short often taking less than 45 seconds. That combinedI want to love this game but there are obvious efforts to milk extra cash out of players. I don't mind a free to play having purchasable options, but when there is a Virtual Gas system and everything is a Loot Box "Packs of Cards" it takes away from what could have been a really great game. On top of the Gas System, the races are so short often taking less than 45 seconds. That combined with the Gas System shows that the game is engineered to takes as much cash from you as possible.

    If they offered a version for consoles with a $40 up front cost and no micro transactions I bet this game would be amazing.    … Expand

    Good game but too many cheaters in multiplayer mode. Also, the AI program is over reaching when you are well out ahead then suddenly being overtaken by npc's because they dont want you to reach the next level without powering up the car a level.

    The solo career mode is enjoyable for a week or so as you progress through different 'seasons' however the appeal quickly tapers as you find yourself bottlenecked by limited avenues of progression, requiring the use of real money (easily reaching the $100 price range to unlock and upgrade a single car).

Coupled with an ambiguous 'Loot Box' system by way of digital car packs, it soon becomes clear that this is less a racing game and more so a gambling game.
    The multiplayer mode is little better, often requiring the aforementioned 'real money' cars to earn rewards. Coupled with the fact that hacking/cheating runs rampant it can be very disheartening.
    Overall, while free to play it is without a doubt 'play to win' and is eclipsed in quality by it's predecessor.    … Expand

    When driving the game has a great sense of speed and the controls are incredibly responsive as well as really easily configurable.

    The game falls apart because your progress is hampered by micro transactions that allow you to only buy loot boxes, so you never know what you will get for your money, also 100$ worth of "currency" can be mined with just 3 hours of play which seems really greedy.

    The game is great, the micro transactions and progression system basically ruin the game    … Expand

    This game has a good graphic, but it extremely P2W, bad Physic Engine, unfair Multiplayer Matchmaking, so many P2W events, and this game has bad gameplay.
    Go play Asphalt 8: Airborne instead, it's way better than this game

    I cannot believe how much predatory this game is. It's so sad cuz I remember being so hyped to play Asphalt 6, 7, and 8 back in the day. The previous one was destroyed since it became F2P. This one was born like that and it's even worse.

    The factor that made me uninstall the game was the IA. Tell me, what is the point of upgrading your car if the difficulty is going to scale to your level? And worse, they will openly cheat. Sometimes you'll get a major gap from your opponents and they, all of a sudden, spawns behind you and pass you absurdly fast, like your car was stopped. Dude, it's bizarre how much crazy this is. How can my opponent's car be so fast compared to mine if my HP is almost double of required? Just to you lose and restart it.

    It's sad to see a beloved franchise being killed like this. I miss old Gameloft.    … Expand

    Asphalt 9: Legends pushes once again the limits of smartphone hardware and mobile gaming, offering cutting edge graphics, a smart control system and a lot of contents to enjoy with. It’s free-to-play and albeit there are the hated in-game purchases, they are totally optional. If you like arcade racing on the go, this game is the way to go.

    Asphalt 9: Legends is the best of the series so far. While it may lean a little more toward the casual side of arcade racing, it's still a ton of fun and gorgeous, to boot.

    Asphalt 9: Legends is the ultimate episode of a great series of arcade racing game for mobile devices, where gamers can challenge and win against the AI or other players on powerful vehicles, surrounded by amazing landscapes, beautiful graphical details and a cool soundtrack.
