And on top of that, each of the game's cars uses "fuel" that is expended in each race and requires players to wait to use that car again after a certain number of races.

There are multiple forms of currency here (all for sale for real dollars on their store front), new cars are not only unlocked using lootboxes, but you don't unlock them directly - instead, you get "blueprints" that need to be collected like McDonalds Monopoly stickers you need enough of to win the prize. So, let's get the ugly stuff out of the way first: Asphalt 9: Legends uses damn near every trick in the sleazy microtransaction book. And where your opinion is on the former is going to affect how much you can enjoy the latter. On the other hand, this is an absolute top-notch racing game. On the one hand, I'm just going to cut right to it - this game uses all of the worst tactics to try to push players into paying for microtransactions. Asphalt 9: Legends is a Free-To-Play Arcade Racing game that presents a mix of the sublime and the detestable.
