Asphalt 3D
At first you'll be pleasantly surprised by the smooth graphics, fluid controls, and wealth of game modes. Amidst a sea of launch titles that feel like they were rushed to release with missing features and poor 3D implementation, Asphalt 3D might appear to be a diamond in the rough. Upon closer inspection, however, the positive elements appear as they actually are: a facade. Gameloft tried their darndest to disguise the uninteresting, uninspired racer beneath the surface. And they almost got away with it. Saying that Asphalt 3D is uninspired is actually an understatement. It's extremely boring. While everything is technically in place for an entertaining road trip, issues mar the experience around every bend, just as they have on other Asphalt titles over the years. Just as past iterations of the game have been consistently disappointing (save for a few bright spots on mobile platforms), the 3DS iteration leaves much to be desired. Arcade-styled racers are supposed to be strong on handheld platforms due to the focus on fast, furious gameplay sessions. Theoretically, Asphalt was on the right track on the 3DS, with vehicular gameplay relying on drifting, boosting, and finding shortcuts instead of tuning cars and driving realistic tracks.

Review: Asphalt 3D
Asphalt 3D stutters from the starting line and never quite catches up to the rest of the Nintendo 3DS launch titles, thanks to terrible physics, stiff controls and poor graphics. Fortunately for car fans, Asphalt 3D isn't the only racing game in town on the Nintendo 3DS. By far, one of the most common questions with the slim launch line-up has been whether Ridge Racer or Asphalt 3D is the better option for gamers who just need a 3D racing title to go with their new system. Well, make no mistake -- Ridge Racer might be more or less the same game it's been for the last 15 or so years, but Asphalt 3D simply doesn't compare against its only 3DS competitor. Unless you're a diehard fan of the Asphalt series for some reason, there's little reason to go with this game over the other one. Much like Burnout, Asphalt 3D's racing gimmick revolves around eliminating opponents from races by crashing them into walls and obstacles. Along with that, you must maintain both your car's health and speed boosts in order to cross the finish line first. In a stark contrast against many other racing games, Asphalt's opponent A.I. is surprisingly competitive from the start -- they'll take all the same shortcuts you do, muscle each other out of the way for power-ups, and always take the straightest paths to the finish line.

As the gaming industry's equivalent to a dude selling knock-off Rolex watches out of his trunk, Gameloft is no stranger to \"borrowing” elements from successful game series. Hijacking elements from Ridge Racer, Burnout, and Hot Pursuit, the masters of flattery throw them all together in terrible fashion to create the dreadful Asphalt 3D.The racer features an XP system, currency bonuses for specific actions, and several race types, but don't let a few bullet points like that convince you that this game is a substantial racing experience. These bells and whistles can't distract from the fact that it handles like a nightmare, with glitches and collision-detection issues around every turn.Like Burnout, Asphalt 3D switches to a dramatic slow-mo camera when you take down an opponent. Remember how that series made your jaw drop with these teeth-rattling, metal-twisting sights? Well, Asphalt 3D's dramatic camera only serves to highlight the complete lack of collision detection. I saw dozens of crashes during my time with the game, and there wasn't a single one that didn't feature a car magically warping directly through another.Another fun glitch occurred when I got taken down after passing a police roadblock.

First impressions count, so it's never promising when a game can't even be bothered to stream its own pre-rendered intro smoothly. Asphalt 3D's stuttering start, as it happens, sets the scene perfectly – this is a half-hearted port of a game that wasn't even that good in the first place, a rush effort designed to ensnare those dazzled by shine of new hardware. Asphalt's tainted nearly every handheld platform over the past five years, but if you're not familiar with the format here's the rundown; take a selection of licensed cars and pound them round some dull ribbons of tarmac that wind through a selection of global scenery in a mix that's part Burnout, part Need for Speed and 100% insipid. The cars' handling is built upon a drift mechanic that's disappointingly binary, and elsewhere the driving falls flat. Shifting sideways is just one way of filling Asphalt 3D's boost meter; checking traffic's another, and in a brilliant twist oncoming cars are near-impossible to pick out at speed with twinkling headlights often only appearing once they're well on their way to being embedded in the back of your skull. More Asphalt 3D Videos Pedestrian cars aren't the only thing that like to turn up late, and often the scenery lazily lurches into view well after its due.

Ridge Racer 3D isn't a tremendous game, but in comparison to Asphalt 3D it's a masterpiece. Whereas Namco's game nails the arcade handling model, this Ubisoft launch title feels like a racing game for beginners, rushed out for the launch of the handheld. There's plenty of content here and the 3D is at times decent, but I'd be surprised if a ropier game hits the 3DS this year.Asphalt 3D had the potential to be good fun. It's an arcade racer at heart, with elements of Burnout thrown in, meaning you can take down rival racers and other cars driving around the city tracks. The more carnage you cause the higher your Wanted level becomes, in turn increasing the number of cops on your tail. It sounds good on paper, but in-game this rough and tumble gameplay falls down due to horrible collision detection and the most basic of handling models that asks almost nothing of the player. You could probably win a lot of races here by simply having working eyes.Power-ups litter the tracks, coming in big and small varieties. N20 pick-ups fill up your nitrous gauge, which can either be used in bursts or in one hyper boost that brings with it a fancy Tron-like graphical effect.
