Summary: 4 Stars
this game for me was extremely easy at the beginning but got harder as the cars got faster. The graphics rule and the cars are cool. Cop chase is extremely fun. It is cool how u can upgrade your cars and make then turn sharper, go faster, change color, and change the body style of it. These features kick booty. One thing i hate is when u hit cars from the back u slow down alot and they shoot forward, and when u hit a car that is sitting still the car doesnt flip away it just sits there like a wall and stop and u have to reverse and drive away. This causes the other racers to fly past u as u just sit there. But luckily sometimes they wreck also and u can go past them. the game is 5/5 for fun but 4/5 overall because of hard difficulty and bad wrecks.Customer Review: THIS THING IS AWESOME

Summary: 5 Stars
Let me start off by saying that I often times only buy a game if it gets great reviews on sites like IGN and Gamespot. That being said, both of those sites missed the boat on this game. They gave it slightly above average reviews when it should have gotten excellent reviews. The key is first to change the controls to R for gas, L for brake as a previous reviewer points out. Then also change the boost to the A button and the rear view to the X button and you have awesome controls.
The first hour I played the game I felt it was a very good racer. After another two hours I was left stunned by how great the game is. The graphics are literally Gamecube quality, and the powersliding is very much like Burnout. The use of Nitrous Oxide cannisters for extra boost is awesome and adds a great deal of strategy to the game. You must use these speed bursts at just the right moments and not waste them. Like in burnout, they give you an amazing sense of speed, and you can earn more by brushing other cars and long slides.
I have 2 complaints. One complaint is not the fault of the developers. It is the ridiculous lack of an analog stick on the DS. How a true 3D system still uses digital control is beyond me.
The other complaint is collision effects when two cars touch. Just just bump each other, but do not really move each other. This keeps you from being able to push opponents into oncoming traffic.
Desite these complaints, I have to give this game a perfect review. It is a stunning launch title that must be played for at least a few hours to fully appreciate it quality.
Customer Review: Great game, difficult at first
Summary: 4 Stars
Asphalt is a great game with a ton of championships in different types of cars. You can repeat championships and sell the cars you win just like in all the GT games. The controls are horrible, so here is my suggestion - change them to XBOX style, R is gas, L is brake. this is way easier. Then you can customize the other buttons (turbo, horn, chng view, look back) to your liking. After changing this, the game is way easier, at least for me. Just remember that when you are constantly squeezing the R and L triggers, it may ache if you play for more than a few hour. Overall the game is really fun. The variety of cars and the customization is good. Graphics are great. After a long time of playing it is possible to get stuck (like when you reach the series where none of the 3 available cars can be customized) but that's not until after you are no longer 'hooked' on the concept of beating it.
P.S. Remember-this is a Nintendo, if you change the controls, you will have to change the controls every time you turn on the DS to play Asphalt.
Hope this helps those people complaining about controls.
