Review:

Sim Taxi 2 is one of those games that you play when you do not have a high end gaming system at hand. It's a casual game that any machine with the required plug-ins (think Java) can handle. The campaign story is not that good. The character you're playing wants to buy an expensive car, but he can't afford it. Someone goes to him and offers him a job as a taxi driver. You accept it and you start working and earning money as a taxi driver. Isn't that fun to do?

Well, in some ways it is. But this game does have some serious cons. For example, the animations aren't that smooth (let's say 15 frames per second)and the idea of driving people around in taxi's for money has been used in too many games already. And most of these games (like GTA, which is pretty cheap at the moment) do it better than Sim Taxi 2 does.

But hey, it's free. And it can be run on basically any machine. It doesn't cost anything so why not try it and find out for yourself? It does seem to be popular at the casual market (hench the 4.20/500 score), but believe me, this game is not worth playing, there are a lot of these games around, and Sim Taxi 2 is not the best of them.

Conclusion:

It's a fine game. It does what it says and it works. But there are already hundreds of taxi driving games around and this one isn't the best. But hey, it's free, and you can play it if other taxi driving games aren't an option for some reason.
