Asphalt 8 is an excellent racer on all fronts, with beautiful visuals, plenty of content, and a fast and furious take on iOS racing. This progression appears to have reached a climax with Asphalt 8: Airborne (Free), the series’ fourth iOS release. Indeed, since the iOS release of Asphalt 4 (the series’ first on Apple’s platform), each iteration has done a good job of steadily improving what the series has to offer in order to compete with other iOS powerhouse racing titles. The Asphalt series, developed by Gameloft, has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a portable title for the Nintendo DS and early mobile devices. One of the most serious issues is that Asphalt 8 or 9 does not work in Windows gaming systems.

Although Gameloft has been very concerned with the entire Asphalt series, players appear to be upset in recent times by the sudden glitches and other problems they encounter while playing. With each update, they make steady progress. So why not? Talk about exceptional gameplay, graphics, and so on, and Asphalt simply brings out the best in everything.

I started off using the tap to steer controls but then docked my VivoTab on its keyboard and really enjoyed the keyboard controls, the only downside being that you can't customize key bindings. For tablets, you can use tilt or tap to steer, and for laptops or desktops you can use a keyboard or a game controller.

There are several options for controlling the game built in to Asphalt 8.
