Asphalt 9: Legends

We love our cars almost as much as we love our families (some even more) and that is why the car racing genre has garnered so much success over the years, especially if it lets you drive car models that exist in real life. That is precisely what you will manage to do if you try Asphalt 9: Legends, the latest entry in the Asphalt car racing series.

Asphalt 9: Legends shines through its expanded roster of real-life cars that belong to renowned companies such as Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborgini and more. All you have to do is pick the car of your dream, and ride off into the sunset and establish record after record in your single-player racing career or during online matches. The cars aren't the only thing beautiful about the game since equal attention was given to the locations as well, as they were rendered in stunning 3D graphics that will make your jaws drop, considering the low disk space the game occupies of course.

All cars are created to look, sound and behave exactly like their real-life counterparts, which is a feature that might get even the most dedicated car enthusiasts all giddy. More so, over 70 tracks can be unlocked through consistent play from amazing real-world locations, ranging from the American wilderness to the landslides in the Himalayas. The particle effects you will encounter during speed bosts and shockwaves are created using HDR techniques that turn every race into a real blockbuster movie.

Speaking of which, no true arcade racing game could be considered a true arcade if you couldn't boost your way from 3rd to 1st place with ease or doing the occasional acrobatic jump off of a ramp. Try to juggle between boosting in straight lines and drifting during curves, and you'll eventually come out on top in any race. More so, you get access to a single-player campaign (Carrer more), where you'll be able to complete over 60 seasons and 800 races or duke it out against up to 7 other players in real-time online multiplayer matches.

The graphics of Asphalt 9: Legends are almost on par with that of other commercially successful game franchises that require a hefty sum to buy, making this title a great alternative when money is an issue, but the spirit of racing is ever-burning.
