Asphalt Injection (PlayStation Vita)

this is a great game and the main reason why is this, its a smaller version i think of burnout ,speech is great visuals are good in my opinion but the main reason is the price,, games are reviewed on the price most of the time and this being 17.99 when it should be 30 makes it all the better to buy, over 100 races all different makes this a great game for the price especially buy from play.com

Well i approached this one with caution, but, im impressed.

The graphics are very good, definately a step up from my ipad and ipod, there are loadsa fx such as lens flare and blur and plently of trackside detail and on a smaller screen the 5" OLED screen makes it all super sharp and an absolute joy to watch in motion.

The sound is also spot on with some great rocking trance/techno music tracks and cool fx and speech.

Controls are where it has the huge imporvement over its ipad cousins, cant beat physical sticks as opposed to a touch screen only..
Well impressed especially so early on in its development cycle.

Buy it!!!!!

Hahaha, if you really want a good racing game for your Vita, this isn't it.

I say that from a purely value for money point of view.

Having tried the demo for Asphalt Injection- I find it to actually be the same game albeit with higher esolution textures as Asphalt Adrenaline for Andorid and iOS. I have the Xperia Play version which is free. and other than the front end, slightly better textures and framerate, it's the same game.

The racing is fairly dull, drift mechanic is still poor, and there's no damage model to speak of other than a poor broken glass effect.

This only shows off Gameloft's greed and contempt for the market.

If you can get it really cheap then it's better to have on a Vita card than take up memory space. But for the retail price, you might as well just get Ridge Racer.
