All Asphalt Games for J2ME

As of 2026, the Asphalt series has changed a lot. From being a simple racer for the PlayStation 2, OG XBOX & GameCube to getting a Game of the Year award in 2025: The games have changed a lot since then

Test Drive (2003)
First off we have Asphalt Test Drive. When you first see the menu you see that you have 2 options: Instant Race and Career. Before starting the race you get to choose from 8 locations that you want to race in and locations are plenty. You have:


 * Los Angeles
 * Beijing
 * Anchorage
 * Tijuana
 * New York
 * Edinburgh
 * Las Vegas
 * Tokyo

Sure, the background is just a picture that rotates in the direction of the car - but hey, it's 2003, so no Sony PlayStation 5-style graphics quality. Also: aside from the big variety of locations, you get quite a nice number of cars - 8 to be precise, and they are the:


 * 1990 Lotus Carlton
 * 1997 Lotus Elise GT1
 * 2002 BMW Z8
 * 1997 Mercedes CLK GTR
 * 1992 Italdesign Nazca C2
 * 2003 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34
 * 1988 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary
 * 1997 McLaren F1

And for each car, you can choose 3 paint jobs as you like. For example, you can have racing stripes on your Carlton or a tribal vinyl on the Countach. You can even add body kits to them! I mean, my Carlton looks like a ricer now! The gameplay overall is fun even though simple. You race and you also have Duel Races, Drift Challenges & Hot Pursuit. You can earn money by winning races, but even more, should you choose to play duel game mode. Also, the girls here are super hot, like really hot. You also have nitrous, which is represented by five lightning arrows at the bottom of the screen. The visuals for a 2003 Mobile Game are solid, the gameplay is fast-paced and fun, and the controls aren't a big deal.

Urban GT (2004)
2nd on this list is Asphalt: Urban GT, which is an upgrade to the 1st one, and options are plenty. You have Instant Play & Arcade to choose from. In Arcade, we get a lot of game modes, they are Evolution, Beat 'Em All, Duel & Chase. The downside of this one is that there are fewer locations this, but that ain't really a huge deal because locations are still plenty for the game to be varied. They are:


 * Italy
 * United States
 * South Korea
 * India
 * Switzerland
 * Australia
 * Greece
 * Russia
 * Cuba
 * Japan

You also have 10 cars to get. You have the:


 * 2002 Mazda RX-7
 * 2001 Ford Mustang
 * 2004 Aston Martin DB9
 * 1998 Toyota Supra
 * 2001 BMW M3 E46
 * 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale
 * 2004 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (996)
 * 2002 Ferrari Enzo
 * 2004 Lotus Elise 111R
 * 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren

There's also a Symbian version, but that really's not a big deal. The background's improved, and now it's more or less an background with some buildings.

Supercars (2004)
The 3rd game on our list is Supercars. 2 versions exist, each worse than the other. The half-baked 2D Version released by I-Play & Mojang's 3D version came out in September 2005. There also exists an Arcade version for it, but we can talk all about it on another day. There also is a PS3 version that totally flopped.

For the 2D version, I would say it's worse than The Murder Derby's J2ME version - and The Murder Derby has only 5 tracks. It's only got 4 cars: Hot Hatch, Muscle Car, Sports Sedan & Supercar. You only have 5 environments to race in New York, Tokyo, Paris, London & Miami. It isn't satisfying to play at all and is rather just a huge waste of time.
