Of the former, one involves tapping the right side of the screen to turn right and the left to turn left, while tapping on specific buttons to nitro boost and brake. There are three ways to control your car: two based on touch and one based on tilt. That's the structure, but how does the game play? Very well, thankfully. It's not exactly obvious, mind - you access the tuning feature via a distinctly unobtrusive spanner icon at the top of the Car menu screen. Oh, there's a tuning option too, where you unlock parts for your car to improve its performance. There's a choice of events too, from straight races through to Cop Chase, where you have to make your way through your rivals to catch the one at the front, and Beat 'am All, where you have to destroy as many rivals as possible. The way these cities and cars are unlocked as you pass earnings milestones gives the game long-term value. Meanwhile, the cars are fully licensed, allowing you to get behind the wheel of real models from the likes of BMW, Aston Martin, Lotus and Ferrari, not to mention bikes from Kawasaki and Ducati. The cities are varied - from staples like LA, Paris and New York to quirkier choices including Dubai, Saint Petersburg and Mumbai.
The idea remains the same: 3D street racing in cities around the world, with you earning cash and unlocking new cities and cars as you progress. Now Gameloft has entered the fray with Asphalt 4: Elite Racing, a souped-up version of the mobile game of the same name, and part of a franchise that's already extended to N-Gage, DS and PSP. So, we've had three impressive iPhone racing games already, in the shape of Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 3D, Cro-Mag Rally and GTS World Racing. After all, racing is one of the easiest and most logical ways to show off the iPhone's accelerometer feature. It shouldn't come as a surprise that iPhone is already well-stocked for decent driving games.
