Apshalt 3: Street Rules review

EDITED A LITTLE!

As my first review, I shall have Aspahlt 3: Street Rules, commonly known as Asphalt3.

Gameplay:
The gameplay is smooth and fast. The framerate doesn't drop and the controls are simple, making the game enjoyable to play. Unlike other racers where you usually use your Nitro Boosts when falling behind, in Asphalt3 you are drifting like mad and constantly using the Nitro Bossts if you want to win. Slow and steady does NOT win the race! Fast and furious does!
The game also resmebles Burnout a lot with the takedowns and bonuses you get from smashing the traffic. Theres also cops that come after you, but they are stupid and slow. They couldn't catch a cold unless it crashed on an incoming car. Did I mention the TV helicopter that comes and puts you on prime time TV news, doubling all the cash from your crazy driving?

There are 7 locations and 5 modes called "events" to play in, though each location only features 4 events. There are 9 cars and 3 bikes to choose from (Though you have to unlock the most) and they all can be tuned. Yes, even the Mini Cooper S (Mr. Bean is gonna be so happy).
But the Tuning part is a bit lacking. Most of the tuning is under the hood, so it is not visible but does buff up your racing performance. The most you can do with the appereance of the car is pick a color from up to 4, a "Vinyl" kit (such as spedd stripes) from up to 3 and rims from up to 3. The Bikes have even less when it comes to the appereance. So the main aspect of tuning is acutally changing the engine, brakes, tires, shock absorbers and all other car parts. But the appereance is not affected.
Theres also a lady you can pick from 3 different ones to come with your race. Though not graphically present, which is a shame, they give a bonus, like more speed, less cops, or more TV time!

But its a real shame the game doesnt have any sort of multiplayer, just Arena rankings. And these rankings are made pretty dull: Your total cash. Why couldnt it have been your best time/cash on a track, with each track having their own rankings? This is a feature pretty much wasted, but can help prove that you are a racing fanatic.

Graphics:
The graphics look amazing for a phone game. (Note: this is not a PS3 rewiev so you all "ROFL lookz likes a PS1 game!" can cram it!)
The cars and bikes are modelled like their real life models and they shine, a LOT.
The tracks are great, with ocean views in Honolulu, neon lights in Vegas and Romes market place where you drive through looks great too! (Too bad theres no market stalls to bash.)
The bad thing is that when a car gets smashed, it doesn't get reduced to a pile of scrap. They just bounce around, completely intact.
Graphics Score: 82%

Sounds:
The sounds are what you would expect from an arcade street racer. Engines roaring, tires screeching, a boosty sound when using a Nitro and music that fits to a racing theme, sort of. The main theme sounds suspiciously like the Pulp Fiction theme. If you don't like the music you can always rely on your phones music player. (The music keys are deactivated during the game mind you.) I personally like the rock themed music more then the cheap gangsta ones.
Sound Score: 80%

Gameplay Score: 76% - Its a fun street racer, but theres no multiplayer and the AI drivers got their licenses from cereal boxes. Its not a challenge to win a race.

Verdict:
A grat racing game that suffers from poor AI and lack of multiplayer.
Overall Score: 80%
