If Real Racing 3 is a precision instrument, then Asphalt 8: Airborne is a lump hammer.
Where Firemonkeys's racer tuts at you when you so much as graze the bodywork of your expensive supercar, Gameloft's latest rejoices in such carnage and destruction.
Driven into some scenery? Have a nitro boost. Somehow managed to spin your car 360 degrees in the air, land it on its wheels, and keep on racing? Someone deserves a nitro boost. Ploughed into an opponent, pushing them off a bridge to a watery grave? Nitro, nitro, nitro.
A brilliantly put together arcade racing package, Asphalt 8: Airborne is every bit as exciting as you might have hoped
