Asphalt: Injection

Asphalt: Injection is a game that was developed by Gameloft and published by Ubisoft exclusive for the PlayStation Vita, a failed PlayStation handheld console. It was released in North America in February 15, 2012.

Why It's Injected with Mediocrity

 * 1) The game somehow looks like a reskin of Asphalt 6, but with different HUDs and UIs.
 * 2) The female announcer in the game is cringeworthy, even worse than that of its predecessor.
 * 3) Broken physics, whereas tracks such as New York, Shanghai and Hong Kong are very hard to drive on due to them.
 * 4) This game somewhat doesn't feel like Asphalt.
 * 5) When in a camera view, the game becomes a first-person game where you can view your cars in a very futuristic environment which looks very cool, but the character that you are moving moves very slow, you start to realize that this is a worthless feature since you don't already have at least six or seven cars at the start.
 * 6) Only a small amount of customization features, compared to Asphalt 9: Legends.
 * 7) You can't tell what cars are for sale or not.
 * 8) Poor graphics, even the 2012 Most Wanted game on PS Vita has superior graphics compared to this game.
 * 9) Broken AI.
 * 10) Awkward handling. Also, when you hit a concrete wall no matter how fast you're going, you still have control over your car, when in most Asphalt games you lose all control over your car when you hit a wall.
 * 11) Its gameplay becomes very boring when you've beat the campaign and played all of the modes, which are worthless.
 * 12) Multiplayer is boring than any other Asphalt game after and before it.
 * 13) A lot of technical problems.
 * 14) Forgettable soundtrack.
 * 15) Awkward sound effects, such as the takedown sound, asphalt sound, and crash sound.
 * 16) Clunky controls.
 * 17) No challenges at all.
 * 18) The Android version is buggier since most phones have graphical glitches with the rendering, the resolution is also broken, however it can be fixed.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Instead of having to pay real world currency for this Asphalt game, you have to buy the car or upgrade you want using in-game money. This game was the only way to escape the now rampant microtransactions in the later games.
 * 2) This game was one of the few games in the Asphalt series to include police, which you have to avoid, though it's not executed well in the installment.
 * 3) Detroit, Hong Kong and Rio were added since the track removal from Asphalt 6, despite the broken physics.
 * 4) The Lenovo version includes 2 new cars, Lenovo Asphalt Injection and Ultimate, which both replace the Audi R8 GT and Ferrari Enzo.
