Pixel Scribes: "Asphalt: Injection is the seventh iteration of the Asphalt series and it launches on to the PS Vita promising to bring “furious” racing to your new handheld from the get go. If you’ve never played the Asphalt series before: it’s a modern arcade racer that offers ten game modes to speed through. The modes are all fairly similar in scope though: get to the finish line as quick as you can by boosting, drifting and smashing other players off of the track. Simple."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "Ever since the advent of full-game downloads on consoles, it seems the market has slowly been shifting towards a digital future where games are delivered through internet connections rather than physical disks. While the convenience this brings is undeniable, and plenty of gamers have embraced having a stuffed memory card in their Vita, there are major pitfalls that are slowly beginning to show, one of which is that games can be delisted without any prior warning, leaving them lost to time unless you bought them before they disappeared."
VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "The racing genre has always felt like a perfect fit on handhelds, thanks to offering bite-sized sessions and being able to hide technical flaws behind blistering speeds and enclosed environments. It provides a large amount of variety too, from immersive sims to light-hearted kart racers (and my personal favourite, drift-heavy arcade racers!), meaning there’s usually something for everyone to enjoy.
Anticipation was high that the Vita would follow in the PSP’s footsteps as a handheld offering an unrivalled selection of racers, from muddy WRC titles to the clean racing lines of Gran Turismo. Beyond the initial months things didn’t quite pan out like this, but there’s still a nice spread of games available to cater to anyone’s tastes – and thanks to the addition of backwards-compatibility with PSP and PS1, the Vita ends up with possibly the largest selection of any console in the last 10 years, even if it's not all running natively on the hardware."
In addition to the Back to 2013 sale and PS Vita 2nd Birthday sale (both of which are live), a Ubisoft sale on PSP and PlayStation Vita games has begun today as well.
I keep seeing this game get average scores, I personally think its an amazing game, I love the arcade feel the cars have and the graphics aren't to bad at all!
This is my favourite game on the vita along with uncharted and a bit of Fifa every now and then
