    I really enjoy the graphics and the gameplay silliness of full spin whacking other cars and boosts, but it's a struggle to get into the game when these courses are so short, because it's designed to get you back to the micro transaction store. I spend just as much out of game as there is in it. Post race screens, pick a new course, wait for things to animate, loading, viewing card packs,I really enjoy the graphics and the gameplay silliness of full spin whacking other cars and boosts, but it's a struggle to get into the game when these courses are so short, because it's designed to get you back to the micro transaction store. I spend just as much out of game as there is in it. Post race screens, pick a new course, wait for things to animate, loading, viewing card packs, upgrading, digging through the store. The courses should just be longer. I completed 20+ events in 40 minutes. A free game has to make its money somehow, but I feel like I can just play another racing game that lets me play it more than introducing me to everything that isn't racing.… Expand

    Decent stab at a free arcade racer ... you don’t have to loot box to enjoy career mode, in which you can build up your cars... however you may struggle to place highly in the multiplayer until you’ve reached a decent level of cars that are available, especially if there are people paying for loot... give it a stab through career mode, and make your own decision

    It is literally IMPOSSIBLE to play in the portable. At this moment, only joycons are connected to the console and the game does not respond. I do not recommend it for the portable, but on the TV it’s normal. At least with the Nintendo Switch pro controller.

    Freemium recharge model that fits better on mobile.

    Gameplay: 6
    Controls: 6
    Sound: 4
    Replay: 5
    Graphics: 9

    Good:
    Graphics,same fun gameplay formula. Split screen and quick race for offline play.
    Bad:
    Touch menu issue.Short tracks that results to more loading times, requires grinding to progress and unlocks content

    Graphics are great as expected and racing in this game presents opportunities for excitement and exhilaration. The downsides I've felt, however, involve campaign races sometimes being short and underwhelming. Also, the difficulty curve seen in some races makes it clear that this is a pay to win game.

    This is a visually stunning, free-to-play game. Very fun to unlock new cars and grow your garage. Some flags in career mode are nearly impossible to get even with the recommended rated/level car. The game becomes frustratingly difficult and that is why I'm giving it a 7 rating. It truly stops being fun as it becomes increasingly difficult.

    This was my first switch game because it was, yes, free. Had some previous experience with it on my mobile phone, but I gotta say, it's hella fun on switch too. Graphics are beautiful, runs smoothly. I just feel confused by all the messages for special events that are slapped into my face too often when I just want to play the game in peace. It feels like the game needs a bit of cleanupThis was my first switch game because it was, yes, free.

I just feel confused by all the messages for special events that are slapped into my face too often when I just want to play the game in peace. It feels like the game needs a bit of cleanup and maybe a change in the strategy, because it's a short time enjoyment. At some point, you forget about it and hardly come back to it. A more rewarding experience seems to be missing to keep one hooked and coming back.… Expand

    grahics are the main feature , bad control of the cars , and bad incentives when you win , longer races and tyre changes would better , not the best driving game , flags and areas are predictable and boring
    its game that shows good render and speed but limited game play races should have lap 3 , 8 , 9 laps in the race and option of no takedowns

    A fun game at its core but can’t decide if it’s an arcade racer broken up with commercials, or a commercial broken up by an arcade racer.

    "Freemium” games are a scourge of mobile gaming, and seeing it come to the Switch in such an aggressive way feels just as icky here as it does on your mobile device. There’s undeniably a lot to do here, but be ready to shell out some real money if you want to get the full Asphalt experience.

    Perfect to play on the go and available for everyone for free, Asphalt 9 Legends is a fast-paced and well-structured game, with only a few excesses related to microtransactions, and a bit of grinding too.
