Grand Taxi Driver 3D

Being a taxi driver is not a dream job, but it can be very rewarding and fun if you are open to meeting new people and you can resist under very high-stress conditions. Modern cities are terrible places to drive a car in, given the crowded streets and the somewhat ill-mannered drivers. On the other hand, sometimes this is the only option for some people.

Grand Taxi Driver 3D is a top-down driving simulator that puts you behind the wheel of a taxi and allows you to explore an open map in search of customers. The mechanics are very basic and rather frustrating most of the time, but the whole experience can be pretty relaxing for some folks. Moreover, at least you are free to drive around town however you wish.

You begin with a full fuel tank and a few interest points on the map, such as the fuel station or your home. It’s important to start picking up customers right away, otherwise you might not afford fuel when you run out after wandering aimlessly around the map. Naturally, each customer wants to go to a certain location, so it’s important to get there as quickly as possible.

Since most people want to get to their destination with as little stress as possible, you have to watch out for their comfort level and make sure you avoid accidents. Driving smoothly is not a viable option, unfortunately, because the mechanics are very rough and unpredictable. Thus, the vehicle handling is difficult to predict and learn, and it’s not a pleasant experience.

Lastly, the graphics are nothing to write home about either, but they are not bad either. It’s a bummer that the map is so repetitive, and it’s also quite annoying that you can never see too much ahead of you, making it difficult to negotiate corners. However, at least there are different weather patterns and nice special effects, so the experience is not as bad as you might imagine.

Grand Taxi Driver 3D can easily keep you busy for a few minutes, but it loses its appeal after that. Hence, the repetitive map and lack of actual content make it difficult to keep playing for too long.
