Asphalt: Urban GT 3 is a racing video game developed by Virtuos and published by Gameloft for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita.
The game features a special appearance from The Pussycat Dolls, and a sample of Moby's single "Lift Me Up". The Nintendo 3DS version was released on February 26, 2011 in Japan, with improved graphics, sound, and dual screen compatibility (compared to Urban GT 2). A version for the PlayStation Vita was also released in December 17, 2011 in Japan.
It is a launch title for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita. It is a direct sequel to Asphalt: Urban GT 2.
Gameplay[]
The gameplay of Urban GT 3 is often compared to Burnout, Need for Speed and other titles as players can eliminate opponents by bumping through them, and evade or take down police cars. There is a wanted meter which determines the awareness level of the police, much like the wanted level system in Grand Theft Auto - if the red "WANTED" light flashes, it usually means that the players must do what it takes to avoid the police - otherwise they might be forced to pull over and lose their money.
AI problems were fixed and there are now three difficulties: "Easy", "Medium", and "Hard". The AI is now great. No new features were added, except for those.

It was criticized for lack of new features, saying that it "should be a free patch for Urban GT 2".
