Setting up a multiplayer game is pretty much the same like starting a quick race. It’s not much of an issue and works very well, so I wouldn’t consider it a deal breaker, even though the integration of Xbox Live would’ve certainly be something I had preferred. It works with Gameloft Live, which basically means you’ll have to setup an account there from within the game and add your friends there. Unlike Modern Combat 4 Asphalt 7 does not support your Xbox Live friends’ list. You can play the game either on your local WiFi against other Windows Phone users or – and this is the real cool part – challenge random opponents or friends over the internet. Multiplayer is where the real fun starts. This is not a requirement though, it only lets you move on faster. You can however also purchase stars for real money. These stars unlock the next cups, cars (which you can then purchase and add to your garage) and upgrades for your cars. In order to proceed from cup to cup, you need to finish events with at least one out of three stars. The career mode consists of 13 cups, each offering a different number of events. If you’re too impatient, you can also spend real cash and purchase in-game currency packages. Renting as well as purchasing cars requires ingame currency, which can be earned by winning events in both, career and quick races. Cars you don’t own can be rented for a single race though. Furthermore you need to already own the cars you want to drive. Note that you can only choose from cars and tracks that you have previously unlocked in career mode.
Quick race is exactly what you’d expect from it: pick a car, choose a track, decide which kind of race you want to take part in and let it rip. So instead of watching cutscenes over cutscenes, you directly jump into the action by choosing one of the available modes from the startscreen: But let’s be honest here, who needs a story in a racing game anyways? We want to literally inhale the smell of gasoline, don’t we? Seriously, if there’s one genre of games that works fine without having a plot or a reason to do what you do, it’s racing games. Well, Asphalt 7 is an arcade style racing game, so you shouldn’t expect it to be too realistic. Breathtaking graphics, great controls, dozens of different cars to choose from, customization options and and and. Almost half a year later its successor Asphalt 7: Heat hit the store and really made amends for the horrid experience that Asphalt 5 was. Priced at $2.99 and having rather outdated graphics it didn’t really impress anyone. In 2012 Gameloft released the already aging game Asphalt 5 for Windows Phone.
