And yes, Cape Town features like the glorious beacon of light that it is. In addition, the game also features 20 different race circuits hosted in 15 international cities. And, these are not just a random selection of fictional cars, we’re talking about fully licensed vehicles ranging from a sporty Mini Cooper hatch to a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. The various race modes are present, and Injection even features +45 unlockable cars. It comes packed with heaps of content and features (that Asphalt fanatics will instantly recognise). While the game’s tagline “Frantic races in the palm of your hands” may illicit childish squawking from the peanut gallery (Yes, it’s funny), the current version of Asphalt is actually a decent portable racer. Chances are if you owned one of those horrid N-gage phones, or had an unusual desire to play an arcade racer on your mobile phone, you might have played an Asphalt game.

If you’ve also never played an Asphalt game before: the games are evidently a fixture on iOS, Android and other mobile devices. Apparently, I’ve been sailing on Mare Ignorantia, like an embryonic Luddite. Imagine my surprise, when I discovered that the current Asphalt game, Asphalt: Injection is the seventh iteration in a series developed by Gameloft and published by Ubisoft.
