[LEFT]Gameloft Asphalt 3.v1.2.7 N-GAGE SymbianOS9.1-Cracked-BiNPDA [/LEFT]Gameplay
Asphalt3 is the follow-up to the Asphalt series of games from the firstgeneration N-Gage and the Nintendo DS. This is a third party title fromGameloft, who specialise in phone games and have supported N-Gage sinceits first generation. (The Asphalt brand is also used on Java titlesfrom Gameloft, but these aren't really the same games, they just havesimilar names and themes.)
The Asphalt games are arcade racers, i.e. they're not realistic in theslightest. Their purpose isn't to simulate driving, but to let youpretend you're in a car chase from films like "The Fast And TheFurious", doing ridiculously over-the-top driving that would never bepossible in real life. The gameplay revolves around illegal streetracing, and the emphasis is firmly on doing stuff you shouldn't do:knocking other cars off the road, driving too fast, smashing intocrates etc. The score you get for a race is far more influenced by whatyou do during the race than where you finish in the race, so if youcome first but do very little else then you'll get a very low score.
To get by in Asphalt 3 you have to master two things: nitro boosts and"drifting". In general you should drift on every corner and use nitroboosts on every straight, which if done carefully should get you to thehead of the pack fairly quickly. Nitros can be picked up from certainpoints on the track, and they can also be earned by drifting and otheractivities.
Of course illegal activity means the police will be after you, and ifyou do too many bad things you'll see a police badge on the screen toindicate that a police car or bike are on your tail. If they catch youthere's a hefty penalty to pay, so you can either try to outrun them ornudge them off the road, both of which earn you bonuses. Illegalactivity also attracts the attention of news helicopters and you'llsometimes find yourself looking through the camera of a news report,which means you briefly have to steer the car from above (rather likethe original gen N-Gage game Glimmerati).
You start the game with just a couple of tracks unlocked, but as youearn money you can unlock the others, making a total of seven tracks(in order of unlocking): Honolulu, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Rome, St.Petersburg, Mumbai and Tokyo.
Earning money also unlocks new vehicles and new engine parts in thegarage. You can choose any unlocked car or bike and any unlocked partbefore a race. The parts menu gets very complex as you unlock more andmore, but the garage helps you by displaying the effect each part hason your vehicle's abilities (for example a part might increase topspeed but reduce acceleration).
There are a total of nine cars and three bikes (in order of unlocking):Mini Cooper S, Ford Mustang GT, Kawasaki Z 1000, Nissan GTR R34, AstonMartin V8 Vantage, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Kawasaki ZX 10R, LamborghiniGallardo Spyder, Ruf RT 12, Pagani Zonda F, Lamborghini LP 640, DucatiDesmosedici RR.
Whichever car or bike you choose, the other cars on the track willautomatically be chosen to match it, and the "rubber band" gameplaymeans you never pull that far ahead of your rivals, but never fall thatfar behind either.
There are a total of five game modes which can be unlocked, covering a variety of contrasting gameplay styles:
- Race: A straightforward three lap contest to get to the finishline, you earn the most money from bonuses on the track but you have tofinish in the top 3 to keep the money.
- Beat 'Em All: The most aggressive mode, you have to push six other racers or police cars off the track before you've done three laps.
- Cop Chase: The roles are reversed, you control a police carand your task is to catch the leader of some street racers. Hittinginnocent cars costs you points, but at least you don't have to worryabout police trying to catch you for speeding.
- Vs: You race against one other car to reach the finish line after two laps.
- Cash Attack: You have to earn over $20,000 from variousbonuses by the end of three laps. If you earn less than this, you losethe race. One major snag in this mode is that if you lose it doesn'ttell you how much you did earn, so you've no idea how much you lost by,making it very difficult to chart your progress.
The strategy you need to win varies wildly from one mode to the other,for example "Beat 'Em All" doesn't require you to be anywhere near thefront of the race while "Vs" requires you to come first.
The game can be played in both vertical/portrait andhorizontal/landscape modes, and can also be flipped if you want to usethe controls on the other side of the phone. Because it's a racing gameit felt slightly more comfortable to play in horizontal/landscape mode,but it was still perfectly okay in vertical/portrait mode, especiallyif you use the camera keys to zoom out a bit before the race begins.
The controls of the game are fairly similar in all modes, with the bulkof features being accessed through the d-pad (the button does nitro,down brakes, left and right steer). Drifts are a bit trickier, you haveto press 8 during a turn, but if your phone has gaming keys you candrift with the lower gaming button. The keypad's * and # buttonscontrol the camera angle, which is most useful in vertical/portraitmode as it lets you see more of the road around you.

Before we discuss the graphics in Asphalt 3, it should be rememberedthat this isn't a 50 euro console game, it's a 10 euro phone game. As aphone game, the graphics are very very good. They're not perfect, andthey'd be better if they used the graphics accelerator chip on certainN-Gage models, but in general the game looks extremely pretty anddetailed. As well as you and the other racers, the streets arepopulated with other traffic, police cars, trams and even presshelicopters, which really adds to the atmosphere. Perhaps the biggestgraphical glitch is the strangely wobbly camera at the beginning, butonce the race begins the camera is fine.
The look of each tracks is very different thanks to the globe-trottingnature of the game. The 3D is a lot more detailed than on previousAsphalt games, and the game world on each track feels a lot more real.However, it would have been nice to see more variety on each trackthrough the use of different times of day and different weatherconditions (the snow on the St. Petersburg track is a tantalisingglimpse of how much this could have added to the game).
The feeling of speed conveyed by the graphics varies from track totrack and situation to situation. Sometimes, especially when you'reusing the bikes, the game feels incredibly fast, but in othersituations the game starts to slow down because there are too manyobjects near each other at once. In general though the game is playablysmooth. A higher frame rate is always welcome of course, but thecurrent frame rate is perfectly adequate.
Sound is pretty much what you'd expect from this kind of game, themusic is straight out of a Hollywood film with a mixture of pop, rockand hip-hop. The title screen has a rather nice rendition of Misirilouin the style of Dick Dale. The soundtrack and sound effects are allrecorded in high quality, and suit the game very well. Whether you likethem depends on your taste, but if you enjoy arcade racers then you'llprobably enjoy Asphalt 3's sound.
The one problem audiowise was the volume control, which didn't seem to vary the volume properly.

Shamefully, the only Arena feature of Asphalt 3 is a rankings board. Noshadow racing, no online multiplayer, just high score posting.
Even worse, we could not get the rankings to work at all, either in the game or in the N-Gage app. The screen just stayed blank.
As things stand, Asphalt 3 gets a big fat zero for its online features,which is a real shame because it has a lot of potential as an onlinemultiplayer game. Hopefully Asphalt 4 will let us race against eachother on the Arena in real time.
Overall
If you're looking for a realistic racing simulator, Asphalt 3 is notfor you. If you're looking for a fun, easy-to-get-started arcade racerthen this may well be your cup of tea. Despite its attempts atrealistic graphics Asphalt 3 is actually a very cartoony title, like asort of Mario Kart designed for petrolheads, which is a good thing.
A big shock for some people may be how little Asphalt 3 values winninga race or scoring a low lap time. If you get to the front of a race,stay there and finish first, your score will be very low. If you stayin the middle of the pack, cause as much mayhem as possible and thenfinish third, your score will be very high.
Seven tracks may seem like a small number, but the five distinct gamemodes make you approach the tracks in totally different ways. Catchinga criminal in "Cop Chase" is a completely different game to smashingthe city up in "Cash Attack", and this kind of contrast adds greatly tothe game's replay value.
Perhaps Asphalt's biggest drawback is the lack of clarity over whatactually gets you credit in the end-of-race score. The score rundownafter a race has a mysterious "others" section which frequentlycontains more money than any of the other bonus categories, and eventhe listed bonuses aren't explained properly anywhere (what's thedifference between "Takedown" and "Road Rage" for example?). In one"Beat 'Em All" race this reviewer managed to take down four cars atonce at the start of the game, then another, then two at once at theend so that the total score was a bizarre 7 takedowns out of 6, all inthe first lap. This would seem to be an amazing fluke, but theend-of-race score was very low because it all happened so quickly.Ironically for an arcade racer, Asphalt 3 seems to punish people forspeed.
However, in general Asphalt 3 is a fun and playable game withaccessible gameplay, a good selection of game modes, nice sound andnice (though sometimes a bit too jerky) graphics. The lack of onlinegameplay is a big disappointment though, even shadowracing would havebeen fun.
