Game Review: Asphalt 8: Airborne

If there is something better than driving games, I’m not entirely sure what it is. The Asphalt series from Gameloft is one of the longest lasting mobile racing series around and the 8th installment doesn’t disappoint. Of course, giving away a game isn’t a way to make money, so if you jump on this download, be prepared for some IAP to get all the way through it.

The game starts out simple enough with a menu that makes most video games themselves seem boring. Multiplayer, Facebook play, exclusive cars and more greet you on the opening menu. Once you figure out how to scroll down the right side of the screen to start, you can get rolling pretty quickly.

Game play itself is tremendously fun and well worth the 1.5GB install size. Unfortunately, you need almost double this to download and install it. Rumors pin the needed storage at 3.2GB to get the install package down and install it before it deletes the temporary files and clears the excess space. Loosely translated – don’t do it on a device with less than 16GB of storage.

Overall, Asphalt 8: Airborne is a thrill to play and should be snagged even if you don’t have a device worthy of using it right now. The $.99 savings over the regular price is worth the purchase right now, if only to future proof your gaming on you next device.
