78/100

'I am Taxi Driver' manages to capture the surprising rhythm of a day behind the wheel. It’s not just a racing game; it’s a lifestyle sim that rewards patience and map knowledge. The developers clearly put a lot of work into the city's atmosphere, from the neon lights of the downtown core to the quieter suburban streets. Driving feels weighty and responsive, which is essential for a game where you spend 100% of your time in a car.

What sets it apart from other mobile simulators is the management layer. Deciding when to repair your car or when to save up for that luxury SUV adds a layer of strategy that keeps the gameplay from feeling repetitive. While the traffic AI can occasionally be a bit stubborn, the overall experience is polished and immersive. It's an excellent pick for simulation enthusiasts who want a more grounded, realistic experience on the go.

Dinsun Review

I've played Crazy Taxi. I've played GTA. I've even played some decent trucking sims. This is none of those. The physics here are atrocious—cars feel like they're floating on ice until they suddenly stop as if they hit a brick wall. The city is a ghost town with generic buildings that look like they were pulled from a free asset pack.

The 'simulation' aspect is a joke. There’s no depth to car maintenance or fuel management; it’s just driving from point A to point B through a laggy interface. For a gamer who appreciates mechanical precision, this is a disaster. It’s another shovelware title cluttering the store. Avoid it unless you enjoy being frustrated by poor coding.
