Everything in the environment looks muddy. On the Nexus 7 the texture resolution is absolutely terrible.

Judging from the screenshots on the Play Store page, this should be a gorgeous game. Ryan Whitwam of AndroidPolice was less enthused and was heavily critical of several aspects, such as the need to be online for the game to work, the use of real world money and, especially, the graphics "the deal breaker for me is the overwhelming mediocrity of the graphics. The vehicles and environments look fantastic on the Retina Display." It's still money well-spent." MacLife 's Matt Clark scored the game 3 out of 5, also criticizing its similarity to earlier games in the series, but praising the graphics "if there's one way that Asphalt 7 improves the series, it's the visual presentation. But if you don't own an Asphalt game, or if any upgrades to the series makes you happy, regardless of how small those upgrades are, go ahead and grab Asphalt 7: Heat. If you're still happy with Asphalt 6 and you want to save that dollar for ice cream, go ahead and hang onto Adrenaline. Oxford wrote "The Asphalt series needs someone to open the windows and let some fresh air in, but it's still impossible to go really go wrong with Asphalt 7: Heat. As with both Asphalt 5 and Asphalt 6, the game was scored 3 out of 4. Slide to Play's Nadia Oxford was somewhat less impressed, feeling the game wasn't differentiated enough from the previous games in the series, an argument Andrew Podolsky had made in his review of Asphalt 6 for the site.

What it lacks in originality it makes up for in polish." Still, slight problems aside, fans of racing games will enjoy the total package offered in Asphalt 7: Heat." Lisa Caplan of 148Apps also scored it 4 out of 5, praising the graphics and controls, although criticizing the gameplay as being very similar to its predecessors "for the price Asphalt 7 is one of the best arcade racers on iOS. The social sharing hooks after every race can be a little annoying, and they delay the time getting to the next race. It has a couple of minor flaws, but nothing gamebreaking. Race junkies are going to love looking for shortcuts, catching air and blasting their way through the beautiful looking tracks to the sound of energetic techno music." TouchGen's Dave LeClair was also impressed, scoring the game 4 out of 5 "Overall, this is a great racing game. It's nice to see that Gameloft is improving each entry while managing to keep the cost low. IGN's George Roush was enthusiastic about the game, awarding a score of 8 out of 10, and concluding "If you're as much of a fan of the Asphalt series as I am then you're going to love Heat. The iOS version holds an aggregate score of 83 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on seventeen reviews, and a score of 81% on GameRankings, based on seven reviews. Upon its release, Asphalt 7 received generally favorable reviews. (iOS version) Aggregate scores Aggregator
