Asphalt 5 for iPhone Released

Gameloft has just released Asphalt 5 for the iPhone, the sequel to their successful racing series. Taking cues from series like Burnout and Need for Speed this is another title you’ll want to put on your list for the racing fix. The game features a well built single-player campaign, but what players will really want to check out is the peer-to-peer and online multiplayer for up to 6 players over Bluetooth.

Asphalt 5 takes you to a dozen different locations around the world like Aspen, Colorado, St. Tropez and Las Vegas, Nevada as you race more than 30 real-world vehicles from manufacturers like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Audi and Ducati.
