London Taxi: Rushour is a budget title from Data Design Interactive and Metro 3D released across multiple platforms.

Plot

The player needs to choose a cab and driver then pick up hitchhikers and drive them to their destinations while speeding through traffic, going on sidewalks, and driving onto ramps through mid-air. It has been classified as a clone of the classic game franchise Crazy Taxi. Also because this game has no traffic lights, stop signs, or even law enforcers, the cab drivers get to ignore the speed limit and ram and/or evade other vehicles on the road just like in Crazy Taxi.

Reception

London Taxi was criticized for having poor graphics, poor controls, and a sub-standard framerate by IGN. The reviewer also mentioned that the front-end interface is almost the same as other games developed by Data Design. The game, overall, scored a 1.0 out of 10, putting it in the same league as other Data Design racers, including Mini Desktop Racing, Monster Trux: Arenas, and Offroad Extreme! Special Edition.
