Often copied, but rarely matched, <em>Crazy Taxi <\/em><strong>set the standard<\/strong> for stylish, over-the-top <strong>score attack racing<\/strong> video games. While gamers on iOS can enjoy a great mobile port of the original game with <em>Crazy Taxi Classic<\/em>, there&#8217;s a lot of additional mileage you can get out of the basic concept of throwing out traditional <strong>road rules<\/strong> and getting passengers from point A to point B in the<strong> fastest possible<\/strong> time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Taxi Run<\/em> keeps the <strong>wacky theme<\/strong> of its inspiration, setting play in a nice looking, colorful, and blocky 3D world filled with obstacles. However, instead of worrying about finding the best path, <em>Taxi Run<\/em> takes mobile gaming control limitations into consideration and <strong>simplifies play<\/strong> down to a single tap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the game is conceptually an endless runner, it gives the player more <strong>direct control<\/strong> than those types of games typically offer. Instead of being focused on swipe-based obstacle avoidance, <em>Taxi Run <\/em>focuses on <strong>stop and go<\/strong> action.\u00a0 It&#8217;s a subtle, but important, distinction, and helps <strong>elevate this game<\/strong> above the typical entry in the bloated endless runner genre.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Taxi-Run-screenshot.png?resize=819%2C533&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taxi Run screenshots (iOS)\" class=\"wp-image-184357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Taxi-Run-screenshot.png?w=819&amp;ssl=1 819w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Taxi-Run-screenshot.png?resize=300%2C195&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Taxi-Run-screenshot.png?resize=150%2C98&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Taxi-Run-screenshot.png?resize=768%2C500&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taxi Run (iOS)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>To play, simply<strong> tap and hold <\/strong>to get your taxi moving, then remove your finger to stop. You&#8217;ll need to dodge other vehicles, dash between speeding trains, collect coins and keys, and more, by getting <strong>your timing<\/strong> just right. This can prove quite the task because once you get your taxi moving, the game&#8217;s speed doesn&#8217;t let up until you react, which can be a real <strong>test of your reflexes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you would expect, there&#8217;s plenty to discover, uncover, and unlock, including tons of <strong>additional cars<\/strong> with different attributes. The free version of the game is fully playable, but does feature loot boxes, and does run<strong> regular ads<\/strong>. Fortunately, ad removal is inexpensive at $1.99 USD, and gives you three storage containers, which normally cost 1,000 of the game&#8217;s currency. You can of course also choose to watch ads to get in-game currency should you prefer that option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the visuals are pleasing in their own cartoony way, the sound design is fairly <strong>pedestrian<\/strong>. You&#8217;ll hear basic car engine and coin collecting sounds more often than you&#8217;ll probably like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite some rough spots, <em>Taxi Run<\/em> does a great job of capturing both the basic spirit of <em>Crazy Taxi <\/em>and the <strong>fun of endless runners<\/strong> without slavishly copying either. It&#8217;s a <strong>fast, fun game<\/strong> that&#8217;s especially great for <strong>quick play sessions<\/strong>, with enough to unlock and collect to keep you <strong>coming back<\/strong> longer term.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Score<\/strong>:\u00a04\u00a0(out of 5)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A crazy fast endless runner with a nice twist on gameplay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"Mobile Game Review - Taxi Run #review #ios #android #mobile #action #touchscreen","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[1348,3199,3201,18,3100,139,225,3200],"class_list":["post-184354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-app-store","tag-crazy-taxi","tag-endless-runner","tag-ios","tag-racer","tag-racing","tag-sega","tag-taxi"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mobile Game Review - Taxi Run - Armchair Arcade<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A crazy fast endless runner with a nice twist on gameplay.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/2023\/05\/18\/taxi-run-review\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Mobile Game Review - Taxi Run - Armchair Arcade\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A crazy fast endless runner with a nice twist on gameplay.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/2023\/05\/18\/taxi-run-review\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Armchair Arcade\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Armchair-Arcade\/141237783007\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=1073711687&amp;ref=name\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-05-18T15:37:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-05-18T15:37:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Taxi-Run-screenshot-02.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"819\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"537\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Bill Loguidice\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@https:\/\/twitter.com\/billloguidice\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@armchairarcade\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Bill Loguidice\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/armchairarcade.com\\\/perspectives\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/18\\\/taxi-run-review\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/armchairarcade.com\\\/perspectives\\\/2023\\\/05\\\/18\\\/taxi-run-review\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Bill Loguidice\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/armchairarcade.com\\\/perspectives\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/bae714a369574316943170bcaf9bc436\"},\"headline\":\"Mobile Game Review &#8211;
