Well I think that I'm done with Crazy Taxi I will Make a little review
Pros:
- I actually like the gameplay mechanics, I find the game entertaining and I don't mind the "on rails" system since you can still take whenever route do you want to go.
- Graphics are good, but seems to had some performance issues, specially when you change of sector.
- I think that the music does a decent job to fit in the game, I like that track that is sung by a woman. Offspring and Bad Religion are superior, but this tracks are Entertaining Imo.
- I think that the drops of coins is good on this game, at least I never felt to be short on those to upgrade a car or buy a new one.
Cons
- Well, since is a F2P game, the monetization could break the game, and in this game, I think that the main problem is that you will always find tracks that require a car with the required stats to beat them. Some challenges are unbeateable without them, and if you fill the requirements, you run the risk of having a car too good for the stage. In normal difficulty I got some challenge at times, but it wasn't a big one.
- Another big problem that I had is that even though this game is treated as an endless runner, in the end doesn't work as one, and this hurts him a lot, since you never had this challenge of trying to beat previous records of yourself or your friends. Sonic Dash is more repetitive, but at least you still try to play it again to get a higher score. The mechanics could work to make it an endless runner imo, you could fuse it with the classic formula of crazy taxi where you had to pick passengers across all the city and took them within the time. Instead, basing the game on short missions kills the big appeal of "competitive" Crazy Taxi.
- Also, the ranking system is boring, since it is more based on how has played more than playing better
- Also, since the game works with energy bars, it sucks that the missions are short, .
- Finally, and this is what killed the game for me, when you lend your car to earn money while you are not playing, at times your car could get damaged without no explanation, and you must repair it with a fee that is higher that what you earned, this is super stupid since it doesn't had any fucking sense, and if you don't repair it, there is no timer, you had to pay to fix the car.
So yeah tl;dr, I like the gameplay mechanics, but some stupid decisions make this game boring very quick, if they fix some of my complaints (which I doubt) maybe I will return
that the devs listen to its customers...
