The Taxi 2

The original "The Taxi" game was released in the spring of 2004 and went on to sell over 80,000 copies. NCS recalls brisk sales as allegations of Crazy Taxi clonage were bandied about in our offices. Two and a half years later, D3 Publisher looks to reprise their success with a new taxi driving game where the player shuttles passengers from point A to point B with as little pain and damage as possible.

The overall aim of the game is to earn a total of JPY1,000,000 per diem while under the wing of a grimacing boss/dispatcher. By earning oodles of cash, taxi cabs may be upgraded with performance enhancements such as speed boosters, a satellite navigation system, and improved cornering ability in addition to other upgrades. A tricked-out cab is conducive to getting passengers to their destinations quicker and lends to improved comfort for the ridership. Some passengers need to get to their destinations quickly while others are less pressed for speed but still demand a certain level or professionalism. Still other passengers may get carsick easily if your handling is less than optimal. Weather also plays a part in the game where the elements look to deter the passage of a cab through the canyons of the metropolis. «NCS Game Notes»
