4Fun racing game for casual gamers
Asphalt5 Review
by on August 14, 2010
Asphalt5 is a quick fire racing game from Gameloft enables you to race wherever you are on your Samsung Mobile.
There are the usual racing game cheesy sound effects, plus an auto-accelerate feature and vibration-type ‘force feedback’. You can also adjust the sensitivity of the controls, while there is also (thankfully) the ability to adjust individual effect volumes including the music and the engine.
You can also adjust other settings such as the unit of speed and the position of the camera. It’s a relatively easy process to get into a quick race and you tilt the phone to steer.
You can start off with a Mini Cooper S while you can also race a Nissan 370 Z straight away. Numerous other cars can be accessed as you progress from the likes of Chevrolet, Mercedes, Audi and BMW as well as a Ford Mustang.
As well as single race there’s also the ability to go into career mode and go online to see rankings. The gameplay is fairly impressive and fun – there are numerous shortcuts you can take while you can also eliminate other cars by ramming them off the road. In many ways it’s a more fun game than Need for Speed Shift, certainly for the casual phone gamer!

iPhone
Jelly Car 3
It can be a bit random at times, but JellyCar 3's springy gameplay is extremely engaging.
JabMe
Not a fun game in itself, but useful for messaging Game Center friends.
iPhone
GroupShot
It’s a shame about the low resolution, but this app is easy to use, and produces astonishing results.
iPhone
Gridrunner
Out and out the best arcade shooter for iOS. It’s not going to win any beauty competitions, but it sure deserves to win some ‘best games’ ones.
iPad
Great Big War Game
We’ll sing this in our loudest and proudest voice: this turn-based game gets an Editor’s Choice.
iPhone
Granny Smith
This pernicious pensioner doesn’t offer the deepest experience, but it’s fast, smashy, slightly silly fun.
iPhone
Finger Focus
An easy way to add artsy blur to your iPhone photos.
iPhone
Final Freeway 2R
Retro racing with its pedal stuck fast to the metal, and more to it than rose-tinted OutRun nostalgia.
iPad
Final Draft Writer
Strikes the perfect balance between pro features and usability. By no means will it replace the desktop version but, should the need arise, Final Draft Writer provides just the right tools to create an entire script from start to finish.
iPad
FDX Reader
This is a great app if all you need to do is read a Final Draft script on your iPad without needing to make notes or amendments.
