The job of a taxi driver can be quite stressful and unhappy, as Robert de Niro found out in his youth. However, it’s also a pretty vital service for every city around the world, especially for those who do not have the time to wait for public transportation. On the other hand, the customers put their lives in the hands of the taxi drivers, which is a major risk sometimes.
Grand Theft Taxi is an arcade game in which you play the role of a taxi driver trying to earn a living, but the customers are making it really tough to do so. The main gameplay idea is that you have ten seconds to transport a customer once you pick him up, otherwise you do not receive any money at all. As unfair as it may seem, the fast pace of the game is quite addictive.
The town you play in is not particularly big, but it is very crowded with traffic, people and all sorts of buildings and parks. It can be a bother to avoid all of them, so most of the time it’s simpler to just run everything over. On the other hand, causing damage means a greater repair bill at the end of the day, and you need to make sure you earn enough cash to pay it.
Speaking of which, it is vital that you make enough cash by the end of the day, otherwise the game ends and you lose. If you manage to cover your expenses, a new day begins and your money adds up. You cannot actually buy anything else, and each day is exactly the same anyway, so it’s only the survival factor that matters in the end.
As far as the graphics are concerned, you’ll be surprised to notice that the game is designed in Unreal Engine 4, which is quite the overkill for such a small production. However, it really shows when it comes to post-processing effects, because the depth of field looks awesome, and so do the explosions. You can even switch between two different camera views, which comes in handy if you want a better look at the road.
In the end, Grand Theft Taxi does not manage to keep its appeal for very long, but it can be fun if you are the type that likes a challenge. Unreal Engine 4 makes it difficult to say no as well.
