Make sure your own car doesn’t completely wreck, or prepare to waste a second or two and lose out on any momentum you had in the race. The trick might be to have really well-timed nitro boosts, jumps off several ramps, and wreck a few of your opponents’ cars in your way. Try upgrading, but I gues you are still going to realise that the game makes is pretty hard (for no definite reason?) for you to complete ranked first. At times, without applying a couple of nitro boosts, you wouldn’t even get to notice where and how ahead are your opponents are from you in the race. I was quite surprised that how difficult it is to overtake your opponents.

While these controls are straightforward, winning a race isn’t. The controls are pretty basic – tilt to steer your car, press on your left to apply breaks, and press on your right on the screen to release a nitro boost. Huge and some classic cars, of course you can buy them using your stars or you can also opt for in-app purchase (which were quite expensive), same for upgrades. You get to choose from a lot of cars in your racing career. The more traffic lights you break, drifts you make, wreck your opponents, win more races, better it’s for you, especially in the Career mode, to earn more stars.

Talking about the gameplay, the game offers ramps for your car to be jumping (up in the air – Airborne) and getting your timing right to get the most out of the jump, and drifts are also a part of the whole terrain racing. The mission in the game, just like any other arcade racing game, is to finish first, while collecting a few bonuses, hitting your enemies. So, here’s a look at the game.Īs a player, you can choose from different game modes – Quick Solo race, Multiplayer, Local WiFi and the whole Career Mode. As a result, Airborne carries a lot of expectations from the series’ user base considering how good its predecessor was.

We usually identify mobile racing games with the names Asphalt, or NFS. Asphalt 8: Airborne is a part of one of the best known racing series out there.
