Taxi Drive
Published: June 10, 2009
syncRage presents its first iPhone game: TAXI DRIVE New York!
Make money as a taxi driver on the asphalt of the Big Apple! Not everyone’s
dream? - not yet! Try TAXI DRIVE once, and you run the risk of becoming
fixed and taking the fast-paced game play into your dreams.
Following the principle of the endless game, the player must confront
increasing traffic density and can earn additional “lives” (taxis) and
unlock licenses for new neighborhoods. Thanks to the intuitive touch-control
the game is immediately accessible.
Never before has it been so easy to find the target, simply tap the desired
position on the map. But beware: The direct path from the calculated route
may lead to a crash with another motorist. The denser the traffic gets, the
more important and decisive are quick reactions and the choice of the right
sub-route. Whomever quickly finds safe positions on the maps - areas not
visited by other vehicles - is clearly in the advantage.
syncRage announces the game as a prelude to a taxi-series, which will
captivate the player with new maps, vehicles, and other challenges and
rewards.
CONCLUSION: Nothing for those with poor motor skills, everything for those
with nimble fingers! TAXI DRIVE New York is one of those games that is
brilliantly simple and provides an awesome amount of fun. A real “Crasher”
for in-between!

An obvious and cheap copy shouldn’t get any attention.

LOL, they totally copied Flight control! Look at the video, see how they are using the mouse.
There is no way you would be able to play this with your finger. You would cover most of the screen with your finger. Especially at the northern parts of the city. If they showed what this looked like on the device using a finger, you wouldn’t buy it.
Looks totally worthless.

i’ve played the game and have to say, that the gameplay is totally different. Sure, the graphis look like a flight control clone, but the gameplay is really fun at all. Good Job!
