They look better on Vita, sure, but not much else changed. But these aren't new tracks they popped up in previous Asphalt titles. The races begin in classic locations like the streets of Los Angeles, but soon escalate to driving through Icelandic volcanos and icy caves. You'll be hard pressed to pull less than three stars out of any given five-star race.ĭrive fast, that's pretty much the idea. This arcade mindset makes the whole game just a little too easy. This builds upon the ease of drifting, because there's no danger of spinning out, and hitting a wall will either lead to a full-on wreck or bumping harmlessly off the side of the road. While cool in appearance, each car feels the same, despite changes factoring into each vehicle's top speed. In addition to its simplistic arcade style, Asphalt Injection gets a full roster of top-notch cars, including BMWs, Audis, and Ferraris. It shares sensibilities with Burnout, but lacks the destructive detail and spectacle of that classic franchise. From this core standpoint, Asphalt Injection performs well. Depending on your preferred method of control, Asphalt Injection's gameplay comes down to hitting the gas, pumping out nitros, and drifting cleanly around corners. The functionality works well, especially as Asphalt Injection plays up its arcade gameplay where sheer speed trumps precision.

Control schemes include tilt steering and using the back touch pad like an F1 paddle shifter. The Playstation Vita integration is subtle.
