Asphalt Nitro 8 Airborne Apk Download

TouchArcade's Eric Ford gave the game a perfect score, 5 out of 5, calling it the "pinnacle" of the Asphalt series. He was particularly impressed with the new jump-focused gameplay and the graphics, arguing that "the graphics engine does a great job of imparting that sense of speed that is essential for a game that thrives on fast gameplay". His only criticism was what he perceived as a disparity between the price of some of the cars and the reward money given to the play; "as you get towards the really expensive cars, you'll notice that you don't earn quite as much money proportionally to afford what you might want." However, he saw this as a "minor complaint" and concluded by saying "the iOS platform has quietly become a haven for great racers, and Asphalt 8 looks to be leading the pack right now."[7] AppSpy's James Gilmour also gave the game 5 out of 5, praising the controls, the range of tracks, cars and upgrades. He argued that "Asphalt 8: Airborne plays like a greatest hits compilation of arcade racers. Perhaps you enjoyed the powerslide from Out Run and Ridge Racer? Or the nitro boosts and takedown challenges from Burnout? Well, you'll find them all in Asphalt 8. The good news is that rather than Gameloft simply ripping off aspects of other games and mashing them randomly together, the dev has managed create a polished, adrenaline-infused racer which is way more fun than it has any right to be [...] Though Asphalt 8: Airborne's parts may be borrowed, they have been skilfully assembled to build a highly entertaining vehicle."[11] MacLife's Andrew Hayward also awarded a perfect 5 out of 5 score, feeling the game reverses the sense of stagnation which had crept into the Asphalt series by the time of Asphalt 7, and arguing that it "essentially feels like a reboot in terms of quality. It's actually a rather amazing feat". He compared the game to Real Racing 3, praising Asphalt 8 for featuring a "real" multiplayer mode. He concluded that "what began life as a passable mobile diversion nearly a decade ago has finally blossomed into a racing experience that's frantic, hearty, and really rather impressive throughout. Asphalt 8: Airborne blurs the line between mobile and console racers, with an amazing asking price to boot, and it's easily the best racer of its kind on the App Store today."[8]

Pocket Gamer scored the game 9 out of 10, also giving it a "Gold Award". Reviewer Harry Slater compared the game to Real Racing 3, arguing "If Real Racing 3 is a precision instrument, then Asphalt 8: Airborne is a lump hammer [...] there's a simple arcade glory to the proceedings, which leaves you with a smile on your face after every breathtaking dash to the line. So while Asphalt 8: Airborne might not be subtle, every second you spend in its company is exhilarating fun." He praised the level design, control options, the nitro system, and the use of shortcuts on every track. He concluded that "Asphalt 8: Airborne might not be the best-looking racer out there, and it certainly isn't the most realistic, but as an arcade blast it's hard to top. Its powerslides are that bit madder, its jumps that bit more ludicrous, and its takedowns that more satisfying than its nearest competitors. This is a racer that concentrates on fun above anything else, and it hits its mark almost every time. If you're a fan of gaming with a grin on your face, then Asphalt 8: Airborne is going to be right up your street."[10]

It may sound rude, but stepping on the brake at the start of a race will stop cars behind you. Multiplayer racers typically hit nitro to get a head-start on the competition; block their efforts by braking, wait three seconds, and then hit nitro yourself.

Taking just enough inspiration from the Burnout, Need for Speed: Underground and F-Zero series, Asphalt surprised us with how addictive it really is. And we are extremely glad to say that it not only lived up to the expectations of its iOS predecessors, it surpassed them with the nitro going full-blast. Asphalt 8 looks great, but most importantly, it plays great. With tight controls and an array of high-end cars for you to choose from as you shred tread through exotic locales, Airborne is, without a doubt, one of the greatest racing titles ever released on the iOS format. But let's shift gears and inspect what's under the hood.

In Tokyo, I found myself racing down city streets with elaborate signs and stores of my already-anticipated Japanese decor, but I was surprised to see multiple paths, with each path leading off-road. Each of these off-road paths varied in where they sent you, but ultimately they rejoin the main raceway. It was a blast drifting through an indoor shopping mall, proceeding into a huge sewer pipe where I was able to pan my car along the pipe walls and ride on the ceiling. After I getting my nitro to the max, I was immediately reminded of the "little red button" scene from Men in Black; I was soaring along the ceiling, passing over rival racers and oncoming traffic.

The cars themselves look absolutely gorgeous. The paint and lighting effects that Gameloft has accomplished with these cars are very reminiscent of the Need for Speed series. Throw in some blur effects, slick roads and gravity-shifting nitro effects, and I was thoroughly delighted during every race.

As for the controls, Airborne has enough control options to make every type of racer happy. Its default control scheme has the accelerator floored at all times, and when you play Asphalt 8, you can easily see why. Everything moves at break-neck speeds, you need to drift through difficult turns and you will find yourself hitting your nitro button frequently, especially since it continuously refills according to your driving abilities.

So with tight controls and stellar graphics, the actual events that happen during your races are amazing. Asphalt 8 has ramps set throughout the levels, with most of them out of the way and off-road so that unadventurous racers would not be bothered by them. But when you do approach one, and you have the nitro engaged, you're in for a treat. Depending on the type of ramp and how you approach it, you're car is able to do barrel rolls and various other types of tricks in midair as it lands and seamlessly gets back into the race. Those hoping for realism should not bother, because these moves (and their flawless recoveries), would never happen in real life. But Asphalt's physics engine makes my car's weight feel right as it would shift in mid-air.

Familiar controls

The default control system has you tilt to steer with the throttle always on, and you can touch the right side of the screen to get a nitro boost. The brakes are on the left side of the screen, and while you won't need to slow down much in this arcade racer, a tap of the brakes puts you into drift mode, which comes in handy for sharp turns and generating nitro. You also will find pickups around the track for nitro, so don't worry too much about overusing your speed boost as you race. ff782bc1db
