Here's the game in action, it's basically see how long you can keep going before crashing, see how much stuff you can avoid along the way and how many stunts and challenges you can manage, in order to earn more in-game currency and avoid spending real world money, etc.
The '3 lane' thing makes the game easier for novices, I guess, plus there's the retro Gameboy feel, despite the glossiness. But what about traffic coming back in the other direction? And where does this infinite road go? I think we should be told....!
As a big fan of 'realistic' driving games, such as Real Racing 2, I think Ashpalt Overdrive crosses a line and it's really not for me. But your comments welcome. In the meantime, you can grab this in the Windows Phone Store here.
