Ashphalt Series has always been the best on racing category of games. This is 8th installment of Asphalt which brings in the best graphics and gameplay to mobile users. It's released in all major mobile OS including Android, Windows and iOS.

Theres speed, theres excitement as well as some great cars that make it the best racing game ever.

The game's control is very smooth unlike other racing games. The game features sixty-nine cars from the world reknowned manufacturers. Players earn the points to purchase the cars through the races. The main focus of this game is on performing jumps and stunts during the game. The track is full of plots and ramps where the users can execute the stunts like barrel rolls which is really very great. You earn points from the airtime you gain during the jumps and from the drifts. You also earn the nitro from the jumps and drifts. Its a really great game. Runs pretty well on most of mid end mobiles as well and the graphics are the best you'll ever see in any racing franchise.

I love racing games but not all racing games appeal to me, and this game was a very pleasant surprise for me because I admittedly underestimated it before I started playing it. I thought it was just going to be another traditional racing game wherein all you had to strive for was to get to the finish line first, and I eventually played it and found out that it was a whole lot more than that. The feature I love the most is that you need to bump and topple over the other cars because I think that just makes the game 10x more exciting as it adds another dimension to an otherwise simple game.
 
I also play Asphalt 8 on Google Android, and Windows 8. The thing I like about the game is multiplayer, and that the crashes in the single player are full of action. The Nitro boost is pretty fun as well. I like that drifting in the game is simple to learn.

I find the tricks like barrel roll, and flat spins fun. It is also has a lot of ramps for jumping very high.

The track selection is pretty cool. My favorite track is the Chinese Track called "The Great Wall".

I had the same thinking but Asphalt just changed it all. Its the best game out there. It's lot more than just plain racing. Its a really great game and quite addictive too. I just can't help but play Asphalt every single hour on my Windows Phone and the best thing about it is, the cars are really very greatylr modeled than other racing games which makes the game very realistic.

Yes, multiplayer gaming is fun here. Competing with all the gamers online and getting to the top of the leaderboard is realy great feature of the game. Personally, I like the track called "Alps Reverse".
 
I usually don't like most racing games because a lot of them have a sole objective of crossing the finish line first without any other mechanics to spice up the gameplay. However, I've tried Asphalt 7 before and I thought it was pretty fun! The nitro boosts make the game a bit more competitive, you can attack other cars, and the maps have lots of hidden details in them. I just didn't like the controls of the game because I couldn't drive my car accurately sometimes. I'm going try Asphalt 8 soon. It's free this time!
 
I hate this game. I got through about 1/4 of the game before I had enough and promptly uninstalled it.

Having paid for and completely destroyed Asphalt 6 and 7, 8 seems to be the result of Greedloft saying, "screw gameplay, and enjoyability, let's see how much money we can make off of these people. Let's take out everything that's made our games enjoyable so far, and lets make it an obvious ploy for money, while providing next to none of the replayability of our last 2 Asphalt games."

And thusly, Asphalt 8 was born.

I will go as far to say that Asphalt 8 is pretty, but much like real life, "pretty" doesn't always equal substance.

This game was a serious disappointment and this is coming from someone who was very excited about its release. I hope that if they do decide to make a 9th game in this series, that it is more like 6 and 7 were and less like 8 is now.
 
I agree the single player story mode in Asphalt 8 requires users to put in a lot of hours to earn enough in-game cash to win races with better cars like a Ferrari in single player mode, or spend real cash to win single player races and weekly events as you progress in the game.

I think Asphalt 8 multiplayer is better since if you have a car like a Dodge Dart, or Tesla Model S, your other opponents have similar cars, and you can still win depending on skill level.
 
I have installed this game on my Windows 8+ laptop after seeing how good it is on my brother's phone. The game is actually great. The graphics are good and the game runs smoothly. The races are varied as well. But for some reason, the game was not compatible with my phone according to Google Play Store (I'm sure it will work on my phone). And, it has stunts, jumps, etc. and is a fantastic game to play on a mobile device. Moreover, it is free to play now. I recommend everyone to try it out.
