I neither drive nor own a car, but I've got several racing games on my phone. Why wouldn't I? Graphical gumption, globetrotting locales, and support for mobile tech like wireless multiplayer and accelerometer steering showcase a phone's horsepower.

Of the racing games available on Android, Gameloft's Asphalt 5 HD ($4.99, direct) leads the pack. Asphalt 5 looks good, and drives better by putting you in the driver's seat with three different control schemes. When it comes to the garage, this racer laps the competition with 30 customizable vehicles.

Some dubious choices—from the way the game handles physics to its objectionable use of women as auto accessories—spoil an otherwise smooth ride. And for all its glitz and glamor, Asphalt 5 cannot match the hayseed hijinks of Reckless Racing ($4.99, direct). But for those seeking VIP racing treatment, Asphalt 5 is your ride. In the Driver's Seat Although I like mobile racers, I've never adored driving by accelerometer.

Thankfully, Gameloft equips Asphalt 5 with two other discreet modes of steering: 'Wheel,' which uses a small, on-screen steering wheel, and 'Screen Tap,' in which you touch anywhere to control direction. I found 'Screen Tap' preferable because the steering wheel feels too small and the accelerometer makes me too conspicuous (I can't help but drive with my body, an embarrassing prospect on a crowded subway). That said, there are compromises to the alternate control schemes: Whereas 'Accelerometer' allows you to turn off auto-acceleration, 'Screen Tap' and 'Wheel' forfeit the option. Also customizable are your vehicles and locations. At first, you have access to two of each: You can race a Mini Cooper S or Nisan 370 Z on tracks in Saint Tropez or Aspen. However, the more you play, the more vehicles and locations you unlock.

There are 12 locations—from Paris to Paris, Paris, Las Vegas—and 30 vehicles—from Kawasaki motorcycles to Lamborghinis. And that says nothing of the individual customizations: change paint jobs for free, earn decals, and unlock upgrades under the hood.

After a couple of days of game play, I went from drab Mini Cooper to a sprightly Lotus 2-Eleven. One area where I feel Asphalt spins out is in its inclusion of six un-lockable girls who pose alongside your auto. I understand why this might be a draw for some mobile racers, but I'm uncomfortable with the way in which these virtual vixens enter the game: In 'Career' mode, 'Girl'— singular—lists below 'Garage.' The game classifies women much the way that it does decals: accessories to racing. On the Track When it comes to the track, Asphalt 5 is a joy ride. Despite realistic graphics, this racer doesn't try and replicate real-world physics—that's clear the first time you bump another vehicle—but that doesn't change the fun of knocking out competitors, racing up hidden paths, and grinding against guardrails.

I loved the rich backgrounds, replete with details such as puddle-jumpers gliding overhead. Collecting cash, tune-ups, and nitro oxide boosters revs the competition and makes for an even more immersive experience. In addition to standard races, 'Career' mode houses options for different racing events. For example, in 'Time Attack,' you have to finish a race before time runs out; the outrageously difficult 'Cop Race' asks you to don a siren and eliminate opponents.
