Asphalt Xtreme

Love the game. Some suggested improvements: World Clash: Make lobbies based on the car level so that you’re not always getting smoked by the sweats; you always get killed by the monster trucks at the start of the race (boring), it’s virtually impossible to win a race even with a level-50 car unless you overclock it (make an overclock-only lobby based on car level so that it’s a fair fight); make a world clash where the track is not random, so that you can race your fave tracks over again to get better if you want to (people just quit out of the race if it’s a boring track, or they see that there’s a ton of monster trucks on the starting line anyway), Career Mode: You basically need a million Class A tools and a ton of cash to upgrade the necessary cars to fulfill all of the race requirements in career mode. Since the game transitioned away from pay-to-play and into the Netflix platform (which is great), it would be better to have a way to get more of those Class A tool cards instead of endless Level D car cards that you already have four cars that you don’t need to upgrade to complete career mode (even if you end up selling those cards, you still need to find a million Class A tool cards). As you need a ton of those cards and a ton of money, the only way to get the money, once you’ve completed all the mastery level levels for your inventory, is to go to world clash, and then you get all the frustration of the stuff that I mentioned above. I hope helpful information for the developers from an avid user.

When I was younger I played asphalt 8 and fell in love with the game. I fell away from it for years because it just took so long to progress without paying. This doesn’t have that problem. Advancement is smooth and satisfying. Graphics are amazing, and I love the controls for the game. I think there are some things I would love to see in the future, specifically more maps to race on. I enjoy all the courses in this game, but I would like to see more someday. In asphalt 8, if I’m remembering correctly there was a track that went through San Diego naval base, or some naval base, and you got to drive through an aircraft carrier. That map brought me so much joy, I would absolutely LOVE to see something like that in this game. There were so many cool maps in the older game, and I hope that we get more for this one in the future. Something else that would be fun, but not essential, would be being able to practice on the specific maps and have your fastest times recorded for those maps. Just a fun idea, but again, not necessary. All in all, this is an amazing game and all I would love to see new maps, cars, and a practice mode :)

Updating this review again, still very satisfied. These days I have been wondering if there could be a possibility of a PC port, seeing as games like Asphalt 9 is available on Steam. I'm not too sure how things would work out, but I know games like Into the Breach and Terra Nil are on PC yet also available in mobile form as Netflix games - I do hope it's possible this is allowed to be up on Steam and such on PC. Maybe even with mod support and a free race mode... I have to give thanks for the continued support this game is getting, and I'm happy that more of it is continuing to get streamlined for a fun, action packed racing game. Easily my favourite of any of the Asphalt games, I am grateful Netflix revived it, and stripped away any of the very tedious and anti-consumer trappings typical of many mobile games. No more "oil changes", "tokens", or "upgrade timers". All in all, I feel this is truly a perfect revival, worthy of 5 stars. My only nitpicks are hoping the Merc-Benz Touring Car could be given some proper offroading modifications to seem more fitting with the rest of the cars, and hopefully seeing more liveries be added to existing cars! Thanks once again to the Asphalt Xtreme team for this amazing game, and thanks to Netflix for keeping it alive.
