Asphalt: Urban GT 2 is a racing video game developed and published by Gameloft for the Nintendo DS, N-Gage and PlayStation Portable. A 2.5D Java ME version for mobile phones was also released.
The game features a special appearance from The Pussycat Dolls, and a sample of Moby's single "Lift Me Up".
The Nintendo DS version was released approximately a year after the N-Gage version, with improved graphics, sound, and dual screen compatibility. A version for the PlayStation Portable was also released in March 2007.
The gameplay of
Urban GT 2 is often compared to
Burnout,
Need for Speed and other titles as players can eliminate opponents by bumping through them, and evade or take down police cars.
There is a wanted meter which determines the awareness level of the police, much like the wanted level system in
Grand Theft Auto - if the red "WANTED" light flashes, it usually means that the players must do what it takes to avoid the police - otherwise they might be forced to pull over and lose their money.
