BEST RACING GAME FOR ANDROID

BEST RACING GAMES FOR ANDROID Racing games are the most popular of all mobile games. It's a very competitive genre and has a lot of really good features. Racing games were one of the first to use mobile phone hardware, using the accelerometer as a steering wheel to control the car. Other controls are also available, but turning the phone is the classic element of a racing game. It is also one of the most diverse genres, with both free and paid game options.

Here are some of the best racing games for Android.

We'd also like to give Riptide GP an honourable mention: Renegade (Google Play) and its predecessor. You race jet skis instead of cars, and despite being an older release, it's one of the best racing games with solid mechanics. You can also replicate old classic games that you can no longer buy.

Asphalt 9: Legends and Asphalt Xtreme Asphalt 9: Legends is Gameloft's newest racing game and the latest installment in the popular Asphalt franchise. It features great graphics, solid mechanics and a huge amount of in-game content, including over 800 events, weekly and monthly events and online PvP matches.

It also allows players to unlock up to 50 cars and various upgrades. Its free strategy is a little more aggressive than we would normally like.

But otherwise it's a great arcade racing game with some of the best graphics of any racing game. Asphalt 8: Airborne, a more mature game with an older control scheme, is also being actively updated.

Assoluto Racing Assoluto Racing is another competent free racing game in a highly competitive field. It focuses mainly on truck racing and drifting. The game also has fairly decent graphics, simple hand controls and lots of action. Unlike Asphalt 9, which is the most popular game in this segment, it has an accelerator pedal.

Other features include online multiplayer and the ability to buy, tune and customise your own car. You can change everything from the weight of the car to the gear ratios, which is deeper than in many other mobile racing games. It's not great for low-performance devices, but otherwise it's surprisingly good.
