Asphalt 9: Legends 12+

I have been play Asphalt games since the year Asphalt 8 dropped and have enjoyed playing GameLoft games for a while now. But in Asphalt 9, everywhere you go the game advertising deals or packs to get your money for a decent amount of credits in game. When you start off in the game and get used to racing, you unlock a fair amount of cars, sure. Are they any good? Can’t say so myself. For every class of cars, there are about five of them, there is maybe 15 cars in each and only 2 or 3 of them will do you any good. I have maxed out multiple cards on my account and have compared cars side by side. Most players defiantly favor cars and will not play with half of the cars that there is to choose from. You can also purchase car packs in the shop that DO NOT guarantee the car blueprints that is actually on the packet, but rather car blueprints which are included in the same class as the car blueprints you are looking for.( When you collect 30-60 blueprint for a car, you unlock and can use it in races). They like to scramble it up in the packs and base what you get in the car packs off of “chance”. Typically leaving without the car blueprints you were hoping for, trying to get you to buy more packs for a better chance of unlocking the cars you want. There are also MANY bugs and glitches in the game that time and time again they will not fix after updating the game. The game is all around great and fun but unfair and annoying.

Legendary game no arguments. Amazing graphics. The driving itself is over the top but that’s the asphalt experience and it’s really fun. And if I still want to progress but play casually I can with the touch drive feature that was totally genius. I hesitated to play asphalt 8 sometimes because it really required you to be focused on the game. But now I can still progress if don’t have both hands free. But I must say I would never take away the traditional driving controls completely because I feel like that’s the only way to enjoy a true asphalt experience. Anyways, I miss the ability to just practice on tracks without it taking away from the cars gas tanks because I want to master the tracks or play an unlimited amount even if it means not getting rewarded for it. Another thing the game needs some balance in single player. My cars rank could be 300 above the recommended rank and I lose with or without touchdrive on. One thing that could help this I noticed is when I get a knockdown the npc will spawn in front of me yet when I crash I automatically am moved to last place. I also wish you could just restart a race when something like that happens rather then finish or quit just to wait all that time to boot up the same race again. Well I hope you guys at game loft read this because I saw there were 600,000 reviews and this will probably be buried anyway haha.

I personally love Asphalt 9. I find that the game has great potential, and with its stunning graphics, exciting gameplay, and tolerance of different styles of playing, what’s not to love? The problem is though, this game is designed to try to get people to pay money. I personally have not payed a single cent on this game. Instead, I’ve dealt with the add’s, knowing that they were helping support the game. That changed though. The game went from having casual players come across adds occasionally to having to pay $20-$100 to complete special events. On the topic of special events, why is it that you have requirements for people to use specific cars that most players have worked hard to get, then just put a price tag of $20 on the hours that the player has spent to reach this point? It’s not right!!! One more problem is on the topic of ads. I use ads whenever I can. I’m all for the free stuff. My problem is that the game will go and claim that there is a poor internet connection and it takes me another 10-15 seconds to get the ad to run, even though I have a great internet connection. And while 10-15 seconds doesn’t seem like a lot, after 10-20 ads, the time compounds on itself. Another problem is that it will only allow you to watch so many ads before claiming “no ads are available”. There definitely aren’t any ads available, one thinks to themselves while sitting through a random ad that popped up after they went to the home tab.
