So, you have finally become the owner of the world’s best smartphone and now you want to have some of the best racing games for your newly-purchased gadget. Well, I have to admit with a plethora of racing games out there, it is an arduous task to pick the best ones. You don’t need to worry as I have rounded up top 7 racing games for iPhone and Android.
Asphalt Xtreme
Well, all I can say about this game is that it is a must-have. Asphalt Xtreme has all the elements you need in fast-paced games such as excellent graphics, car crashes, in-air stunts, swanky cars, and exciting locations. Your racing skills will be tested by the big boulder, falling rocks, and an abyss. You will also go through various locales such as – ancient relics, Thai Beach, and desert, all these locations certainly make this game more interesting.
I felt that the gameplay is quite similar to the Asphalt 8. The controls feel intuitive and offers full control of over every moment of the car. One of the major draws of the game is the career mode and it is divided into five categories – Rookie, Amateur, Semi-pro, Pro, and Master.
