Asphalt 6: Adrenaline is not your typical racing game from what I saw in the test that I was able to do of the latest Beta version to which Gameloft invited us. It is not a driving simulation game, it is an arcade type game in which you have to drive as fast as you can, avoid the police, attack the enemies….
The type of game follows the saga of the Asphalt franchise, which is already a few years old, and they have also wanted to improve it to the level of current devices, especially at the graphic level, and add a lot of new game modes, to give it more value and not your typical car racing game.
And of course you will be thinking what differentiates "Asphalt 6: Adrenaline" from the other versions of the game in the franchise and from the rest of the racing games available on the App Store. Well, as I could see, the big differences that I noticed were the very real control of the cars, the great graphic design of both the circuits and stages and the cars and the great variety of vehicles from prestigious brands that have been added in this new version. from "Asphalt 6: Adrenaline".

KEEP READING the rest after the jump.
What gives this version of Asphalt its title and which is different from the Nitro of the other versions, is the adrenaline mode, which also increases the speed of the car, leaving a blue trail behind it as the speed increases and the competitors They acquire a pink relief, which indicates that they can be hit with an ÜberCharge and thus achieve a much more effective attack.
The new single player campaign It's huge, although I couldn't see much of it, but the remarkable features
- 55 possible events.
- 11 different competition leagues.
- 12 circuits to compete (From Los Angeles in the USA, through Nassau in The Bahamas, to Tokyo in Japan).
- 42 types of Vehicles, including several fully tuneable motorcycle models.
- Obtaining New vehicles for achievements.
- You will be able to see your car collection in a virtual garage, totally designed in 3D, where you will be able to move freely and visit it as if it were your own private museum.
- Approximately 10 hours of playing time or until you get tired of running.
On multiplayer mode I could not check it since that option was not available in the beta I tested but from the available reports we can promote following:
- Connection by Bluetooth and WI-FI (Both locally and online).
- Up to 6 simultaneous players.
- Unfortunately it is not compatible with Game Center.
- Leaderboards available.
- New ranks and awards.
But the most remarkable thing about "Asphalt 6: Adrenaline" are its new game modes (you will have 8 modes to choose from) which is what I think differentiates it from its previous versions, and as I could see in the Beta, I think it will It will make you be in the Top of racing games. The game modes available are:
- Race.
- Beat'em all: collide with your opponents and eliminate them in a limited time.
- Drift: You will have to drift as much as you can in a while.
- Under pressure: All the other cars will try to make you crash and destroy your car.
- Elimination: Finish in the top 3 to advance to the next level.
- Time Attack.
- Collector.
- Duel: Perhaps the most entertaining to be able to challenge your friends or try to beat the computer.
Regarding the graphics of "Asphalt 6: Adrenaline", we can say that they are brutal even if they have not used the Unreal Engine (The game began to develop 6 months before it was available) and in this version up to 2.000 polygons have been used for design the vehicles, when in the «Asphalt 5» at most between 100 and 1000 polygons were used, but until you see it in front of you, these data will tell you nothing, but I guarantee that in the test I carried out of the beta version they were amazing graphics of both the cars and the environments and even the virtual garage.
The control method can be the classic steering wheel or use the accelerometer to control the vehicles. We will also have 3 different types of camera view. The soundtrack is of the electronic music type although if we want we can use our iPod library (This menu has been developed in cooperation with the manufacturers of car stereo systems Alpine).
