Anyone who’s over the age of 30 can attest that the 90’s was a time of enjoyable games and fun. Because of its influence on individuals, it is easy to see why many would draw inspiration on these games. One of the new games that have become available on the iOS app store is Crazy Taxi: City Rush iOS app, which largely draws inspiration from the 90’s game Crazy Taxi by Sega. So how does it compare?
Unlike the original game, Crazy Taxi City Rush iOS app is run on various Apple products instead of the original arcade game. By combining traditional mechanics from the game with easy-to-execute lane swipes, the iOS version was able to modernize itself and prove that the game can be revived to today’s time. With the typical lane swipe motion common in 3D running games like Temple Run, Minion Rush, and many more. Compared to these, however, Crazy Taxi: City Rush comes with a story-based mission game that gives players a run for their money.
The controls of Crazy Taxi: City Rush work very easily– you simply need to swipe on your screen to change lanes and hold the side of your screen if you want to make sharp turns. The good thing about the app is that its controls are responsive enough for a continuous drive.
Upon starting, the taxi automatically ignites itself and you’re on your way to navigating through the busy streets. As a player, your job is to navigate through Bay City’s traffic to pick up fares and deliver them to their destination. Once you are able to bring them to their destination, you get to earn cash. But if you really want to earn big bonuses, you’ll have to learn a thing or two about destroying things blocking your path. Apart from completing these missions, players are able to earn cash by taking up quick jobs.
Once you have earned enough cash, you can upgrade your taxi and make it look as exciting as you would want it to be. If you have enough money, you can even acquire your own fleet of taxis so that you can earn extra money on the side.
The only downfall to this game is that you only have a stock of fuel that depletes upon every mission’s end. With this, you’ll have to pay actual money for refills or go through the excruciating task of watching an ad. Since the game is free, there is a video ad that displays after every two missions. Despite this, it still is an interesting game to download and play during your free time.
Crazy Taxi: City Rush iOS app is a free game you can download from the App Store. It is compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices running on iOS 7.0 or later.
