High octane Asphalt 5 trailer revealed for iPhone

Firemint's Real Racing has enjoyed a long stint on the iPhone racing game throne, but it looks as though it's crown is about to be challenged not only by EA Mobile's Need for Speed: Shift, but also by Gameloft's latest addition to its ultra-hot racing franchise, Asphalt 5.

We've already seen the CG Asphalt 5 trailer ripping up the virtual tarmac, and heard all the gossip about in-app purchases, but Gameloft just dropped us a line to show off the brand new gameplay footage of its four-wheeled rubber-burning beauty.

Perhaps what's most impressive about Asphalt 5 is the apparent interaction with the environment and background traffic, as well as the very customisable motors. Coupled with the awesome city tracks, weather conditions and vehicular combat, Asphalt 5 is revving its way closer and closer to the top of our most highly anticipated iPhone games of 2009.

Watch this space. And this video, of course.

Yes. Spanner's his real name, and he's already heard that joke you just thought of. Although Spanner's not very good, he's quite fast, and that seems to be enough to keep him in a regular supply of free games and away from the depressing world of real work.
