This game comes from the same company as "Airport Mania." Unlike AM however, this game is not as much fun.

The object of this game is to pick up customers and drop them off at other locations before they become upset.

First off, the graphics are very childish. It's like a kid took a box of crayons and drew what he/she thought a town should look like. I also found the "voice-overs" or sound effects if you will, annoying. There's an annoying male voice as "Gabby the Taxi" and every time you click on a location to go to the voice comes on and goes "yeah!" or "uh-huh!" It's really quite irritating.

The game also auto-corrects your route to make it the most efficient. To me this makes the game less fun because it's essentially doing the work for you. It would have been a lot more fun if it didn't do this so you would have to catch it on your own.

The upgrades are also really confusing. There are a ton of them to start with, and it gives you no recommendations as to what you should buy next so essentially you're stabbing around in the dark. There are also a host of upgrades that if you use them in a round you have to buy them again at the start of the next round. Really? They aren't that helpful to begin with.

I just didn't feel this game was very much fun. It was really made for an audience made up mostly of kids. If you're looking for a more challenging and entertaining game go with "Airport Mania." This game still has the silly childish graphics, but at least you have to do some work.

I'm a huge fan of simple games. I find them to be so relaxing. This was exactly what I wanted. Not what I expected but very fun.
