I hated, and I mean HATED A5, but I'm going to try to keep an open mind. There are just so many good racers out there, and while I really like GT Academy, I'm concerned that this will have some of the issues I didn't like about A5.
Asphalt games are arcade street racing games. Real Racing 1 & 2 are realistic themed racing games (with race tracks as opposed to city streets and roads).
The review been pulled. Sadly even Google cache doesn't have a copy, although when I read it this morning it seemed a briefer review than I'm used to so perhaps it was more of an early placeholder. Hopefully they don't get dinged for breaking NDAs.
