What's It About?

In ASPHALT XTREME players customize their rides, adding everything from extra nitro bursts to better handling and race in a series of competitions in locations around the world. Players can enjoy the game as a single-player experience or -- after they've played for a while -- against other human opponents. Continuing to upgrade your cars is critical to the game, and players can either use money earned in-game or use real money via in-app purchases.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say ( 2 ):

There's no denying the fun that's found in a good racing game, but this one doesn't go far enough off-road to offer much that's new or exciting. Exploring new routes and looking for shortcuts is half the fun, and Asphalt Xtreme is fast-paced, nitro-infused fun in a beautiful series of environments, both in the single-player and multiplayer components. However, there's nothing that really makes this racer stand out. Also, the push for in-app purchases is heavy but not any more than similar titles of this genre -- and the game is fairly generous with rewards. Still, parents may want to discuss rules around spending real money before the flags go down. Ultimately, it's a fun diversion that will keep you entertained for a few days, but it's not one that will hold your attentions long-term.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Families can talk about responsible driving in real life vs. in Asphalt Xtreme -- and how what happens in games shouldn't happen in real life.

  • Talk about in-app purchases and your rules around them. Can kids use real money to upgrade cars? If so, how much?
