The cars look awesome, but it's the backdrops that really take your breath away in Asphalt 7: Heat. Graphically, Asphalt 7: Heat is without doubt the best of the series so far, and the visuals are as good as anything on the Android platform to date, including Firemint's Real Racing 2.

You can even race in the DeLorean from the Back to the Future movies! Vehicles are tiered in seven sets of similarly-powered cars, ranging from the likes of the Mini and Range Rover in the first tier, to supercars such as the Ferrari FFX and Bugati Veyron in the upper tier. The range of vehicles you can unlock in Asphalt 7: Heat is impressive. However, driving at high speeds through some of the more elaborate courses can provoke lag at times, and we experienced this a few times testing on the HTC Sensation. Races in Asphalt 7: Heat are thrilling to say the least, and the inclusion of collectible items and insane nitros makes it all the more enjoyable. It works very well, but if you want to change the controls in Asphalt 7: Heat you can, and there are four systems to choose from. The default control system is based around tilting your device to steer, tapping the left of the screen to brake and the right side to apply nitro. Playing Asphalt 7: Heat is a real delight, not least because of its fluid control system. Better still, enter the Multiplayer mode and you'll be able to battle it out against a friend over Bluetooth/WiFi, or take on up to five others online. If you want a less structured game mode, try Quick Play, where you can enter any kind of race, in any location, racing with any of the vehicles that you've unlocked. As is the norm with Gameloft games these days, you can purchase stars to 'fast-track' your progress in the game. Progress through the career mode in Asphalt 7: Heat is based around earning money and star points to level up and unlock cars and races. The gameplay in each of these is different enough to keep your interest levels high.

There are different kinds of races within Asphalt 7: Heat, including Normal, Drift, Elimination, Beat 'Em All, Paint Job, and King of the Hill. There are 13 cups to be unlocked in total, each consisting of four different races.

Career mode in Asphalt 7: Heat sees you attempt to progress through a series of cup competitions.
