Taxi Game 2.1.4

The emergence of taxi services like Uber has shifted the opinion of many people about taxi driving. It has also a lead to a fascination with taxi driving as taxi drivers meet new people time and again for small durations of time. A taxi driver, while not having any company, usually drives around in the hope of finding another ride. People fascinated with the on-road lives of the taxi drivers seek out taxi games that can simulate the experiences of real taxi drivers. Taxi Game Free is a simulator game that promises to provide a very realistic experience of any taxi driver's everyday routine.

Taxi Game Free has a very straightforward approach and the game directly starts with you and your taxi on the road. The game offers two types of steering controls with 360 degree steering control and the two button 'left' and 'right' driving control. You are required to choose the control whenever you launch the app on your phone for a gaming session. You are also required to choose your taxi car if you have unlocked multiple cars. If you haven't and are playing for the first time, you only have one car choice.

Once this is all done, you can start with the actual taxi game. The layout of the game is extremely simple. You are required to wait for a call from your agency that would identify people looking for a taxi ride. A route will be provided to you once you get a customer and you need to follow the route in order to get to the customer's location. Afterwards, once the customer has boarded the taxi, you are then required to take the customer to the desired location by following the route provided. For every ride completed, you get one of five parts of a new taxi's key and after completing five rides, you unlock a new taxi.

The controls of the game are the greatest part of the game. There is a forward acceleration and a reverse acceleration button along with a separate brake button. Also a speed limiter ensures that the taxi doesn't cross over the 60 speed limit. Moreover, there is a steering button or a right-left direction button depending on the steering control you have chosen. You are also offered the option of switching between the dashboard view and the car view through the 'camera' button. The controls are easy to understand and driving the car is also pretty simple.

The graphics of the game are well developed with the city where you are required to drive the taxi definitely well designed. There is a beach, a superstore and a police station among other locations on the map. The fact that the taxi game doesn't use them in the gameplay at all is disappointing but there is no doubt that the graphics look good.

The problem with Taxi Game Free is that you can get bored with it pretty quickly. There are no real challenges in the gameplay as you can keep driving rashly without any repercussions. The car doesn't sustain any damage while the customers don't get angry too even if you smash your car against oncoming traffic. There are no traffic rules to adhere to and you can keep bumping into other cars, even police cars, with impunity. This aspect of the game, if improved, can really enhance the gaming experience.

Features:

• Great variety of taxis available
• Brilliant on-screen control buttons
• Easy to switch between dashboard and car views
• Steering and button control choice available
• Beautiful graphics
• Good and realistic car sounds

Conclusion:

Taxi Game Free is a good taxi simulator where you get to live the life of a taxi driver. While the game doesn't offer any major challenges, the quality graphics and nice on-screen controls make it a good option for anyone looking for a simple taxi game.
