Asphalt Urban GT Preview Up

[touchds]

Just written up my notes from earlier today when I was lucky enough to have a hands on test of Asphalt Urban GT. IT's looking very promising but I could not say wether this will beat Ridge Racer.

The demo was very short and I was being hurried out of the office to make way for other people, so sorry if I have not covered much in the preview.. I really need to get my own DS to take home, especially for reviews :roll: Hurry up 21st! (or whenever mine arrives... damn imports)

DAMN IMPORTS I AGREE. Im just worrying abou the controls for the racing games. Some devolopers will probably go over board with the whole touch screen. Well, lets hope not.

Well this is one example of hardly using the touch screen, so there is no worries there.
However the controls I used for very difficult - the buttons for accel and break were at opposite sides of the 4 button pad. Shame.

OMG! you have actually touched the DS you have no idea how much i envy you! Spare DS going around heres my address.... But the thing is that the big steering wheel justs looks so inconvenient and why don;t some developer actually take into account that they don't need the touch screen to make a brill game. Take Mario and Luigi superstar saga for example. Sheer genuis. Without the touching.

Sadly I think that is a line I'll have to use in lots of reviews by the end of next year. but it is inevitable that the developers are going to make use the new feature.. no matter how they include it.

And yes I have touched one.. although its a prototype DS for demo games, as the real one hasnt reached UK. The games are shown on a big screen, you just use the DS controls. Clever :D Can't wait to have my own DS though...

COOOOOL *drooling*. Where exactly do you work and do you have any other Nintendo devoted webspace? Any decent updates on Mario Kart as we are on the subject of racing. And can you see those sneaky peeps on the left who are unregistered. tut tut tut...

I have no other Nintendo Websites - this is my first. Its a UK magazine and game developers - Although I do not work there, it is a close friend of mine who does and so gets me in to the hands-on sessions. It helps me keep this site going until I get my hands on my DS! (I know I keep saying that, but its exciting!)

No news on Mario Kart yet, sorry. I'll let you know.
