Asphalt 5 is a 2009 racing video game, developed and published by Gameloft as part of the Asphalt series. It was released for iOS on November 2, 2009, for Palm Pre on January 8, 2010, for Android on April 20, for Symbian^3 and Bada on December 22, and for Windows Phone 7 on July 25, 2012. A PlayStation Portable version was planned, but was cancelled.Asphalt 5 HD (a high definition version of the game) was released on the App Store and Android Market on April 1, 2010.
Asphalt 5's gameplay is very similar to that of Asphalt 4: Elite Racing and Ferrari GT: Evolution, with the player given the option of either tilting the device, touching the side of the screen to steer or using a virtual on-screen steering wheel. The iPhone version of the game uses landscape steering. The game also has a multiplayer mode, both local through Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and global through an internet connection.
There are 30 licensed vehicles available in the game. The initially available cars are the Mini Cooper S and Nissan 370Z.
