All Asphalt Games for J2ME

As of 2026, the Asphalt series has changed a lot. From being an simple racer for the PlayStation 2, OG XBOX & GameCube to getting a Game of the Year award in 2025: The games have changed 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 5 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 chose 3 paint jobs as you like. For example, you can have racing stripes on your Carlton or a tribal vinyl on the Countach. 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 chose to play duel. Also the girls here are super hot, like really hot. You also have nitrous, which is represented by five lightning arrows in the bottom of the screen. The visuals for a 2003 Mobile Game are solid, 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 the Instant Play & Arcade to choose from. In Arcade, we get a lot of game modes, they are: Evolution, Beat Them All, Duel & Chase. The downside from this one is that there are fewer locations from this one, but that ain't really a huge deal because locations are still plenty. We now have:

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 that came out in September 2005. There also exists a Arcade version for it, but we can talk all about it in another day. There also is an 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.
