Asphalt8 Airborne

I used to rate this game at a 5...Its a great game with plenty of tracks and scenarios, particularly when you get the knack of upgrading!

The only shortfalls that Ive come across so far are that:

- The R&D events used to be reasonable, now you need hundreds of thousands of credits & several thousand tokens in order to upgrade the car. On top of that, when you earn upgrade kits, they should have the items needed to fully tune the car over the span of the rest. You should not have to pay hard cash in order to complete the R&D event. I frankly feel that these events are a rip off as they stand now. You should have a choice of using credits or tokens to upgrade, not just tokens as they are harder to accumulate.

- The servers tend to be unstable...others have sited this issue. We are told to check our internet connections, etc., but frankly, the issue is at your end. There is nothing more frustrating than using fuel cells only to have the car jerk around the track, making it near impossible to maneuver or win the race...the are times when it has quit altogether!

- I feel that triggering the time limited upgrades (tuning kit for 15 minutes & the nitro upgrade for 10 minutes) should take into account the time it takes to load the race, particularly in multiplayer event mode. That is, time should be reduced only when you are actually racing.
