Game Description

Shipped From Our UK Store.

Genuine UK PAL Release. Asphalt Urban GT combines the virtues of both simulation and arcade racing for the Nintendo DS. Players will be in the drivers seat while hitting the streets in a wide range of licensed high-performance cars on tracks from all over the world. Winning races, collecting prize money, and then purchasing new cars and/or tweaking current ones is key to success. Amazon.co.uk Review Asphalt: Urban GT--which, unusually, first appeared on the N-Gage--doesnt really use any of the DSs more overt gimmicks, just the fact that, unlike the GBA, it can display fast, detailed 3D graphics.

Its a fairly traditional racing game, most obviously taking inspiration from Need for Speed: Underground, but also Colin McRae Rally and Burnout. The graphics are fast and detailed though and the course design surprisingly varied and interesting. The Burnout influence (to use the most diplomatic turn of phrase possible) comes from the fact that near misses with other traffic increases the amount of turbo boost you have to use. There are a number of different game modes, depending on how much time you have to play, with one of the more interesting being the cop chase where you have to get various felons to pull over by keeping their cars in your sights for a set number of seconds. The touch screen is used merely to display an admittedly useful map of the course and the stylus doesnt come into play at all expect on the menu screens.

The game does have a number of wireless multiplayer modes, though, making this a surprisingly comprehensive and enjoyable driving package. --David Jenkins.
