Description:

With the PlayStation Vita launch you can burn some serious rubber - courtesy of Ubisoft. Asphalt has had a history of providing hi-octane experiences on handheld consoles, and with the Vita’s extra power and unique input features the action is now more exhilarating than ever before.

The dual analogue sticks, gyroscopic sensors and back panel controls all come into play during races, as you belt around urban locations and gain boosts to stay ahead of the competition. You won’t be stumped for races to play either, with 10 different types of events available to mix up the action in a Career mode that spans over 100 races.

52 licensed cars are at your disposal to own the streets, including vehicles from Ferrari, Lamborghini and Aston Martin plus legendary models and a selection of the best cars from 2011. Your Career will take you around world, with a track list of 20 that covers Shanghai to Monte Carlo.

And when you’re done boosting, crashing, jumping and taking shortcuts around the world’s hottest cities, you can kick open the Communication Zone and share your latest statistics with your friends (and rivals) to make them extremely jealous.
