Yea, there's been talk about Asphalt 8 in the game thread in this subforum since before lunch time(on the east coast). I've been playing it since before 1 o'clock today. Awesome sequel in my opinion! I love it!!

Don't have real racing, but thus far graphics are great. It plays much on this device than it does on my HTC One.

If I recall correctly, wasn't there some discussion about how this game would be optimized for the N7?

In the game thread, someone said it didn't look good. I was planning to just play it on my Note 2, but it looks great on my N7 FHD, so I haven't even played it in my Note 2 yet. I've installed it on it, I'll try it to compare, but it really does look AWESOME on my N7 FHD!! I actually played for hours earlier! ZERO complaints!!! Well worth more than the .99 price tag!!

Just downloaded it yesterday. Well worth the .99 price. It was smooth most of the time, although there are a few times when it's glitchy. Also I didn't think the graphics were as "good" as promised. Shadowgun/Dead Trigger on my old Nexus 7 had them much better.

I was looking forward to the release of Asphalt 8 so when I woke up yesterday morning, I checked the app store immediately to see if it was there; sure enough it was! I downloaded it and played it all throughout the day. Overall, it is a great improvement over Asphalt 7, but I am still just not fond of the menu system. I actually kind of prefer the simplicity of the menus from A7.

Graphically, a good amount of improvement and the nice thing is you can adjust the graphical settings. I like that games have been providing this option. As far as the graphics compared to Real Racing 3, I think they are on equal grounds. RR3 is a more realistic-looking game with overall bland racing environments and some really bad aliasing, but A8 uses real cars in a more arcade, vivid environment and it doesn't have nearly as bad of aliasing. One aspect that I am not quite as pleased on is the framerate. It's just not as fluid as Asphalt 7 on the N7 FHD. Of course, this is likely due to the increase in graphical improvements made and that I am playing on the high graphics setting, but that's partially why we got this game right? I think they'll further optimize the game so this will be less of an issue. I have run this both on my HTC One and my N7 FHD and it runs better on the N7.

Still, I am have a blast playing it and, despite the couple of quibbles I mentioned, the game is better the its predecessor.

Bought the game today. It runs really smooth and it looks really great on the n7. Gameloft did really well on this game. I'm enjoying every second of it. And for only €0.89 it was well worth the price. Haven't tried online yet though.

I definitely recommend the game. You won't regret it!

Ive had fun playing games on devices such as riptide gp 2 but this is the first time ive played a game and was literally smiling, yelling at my screen the entire time. Gameplay is amazing, music works extremely well, graphics are impressive. Not a single complaint. Well worth the 99 cents i paid for it

Put the graphics on high and it is a bit laggy. But overall it is really good attemp and worth 99c
