Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom

Concerning amount of toilet humor

6/10

I heard of this game when a YouTuber I watch mentioned it in passing, and I'm glad I found it, because it's exactly the type of game I like to play! It's got an element of frenzy, particularly when you're transporting passengers, but it's not quite to the extent of Pizza Tower (which is fine, that's not its goal). This game has an adrenaline level equivalent to the first half of a Pizza Tower level, I think. This game is I think my favorite movement playground out of the few games that fit that category that I've played. For the most part, the moves available to you at the start of the game are all the moves you'll get, and they're still plenty! What the game relies on to keep content away is a lack of mastery or awareness of the full capability of your abilities. You almost spend more time in the air than on the ground in this driving game (an exaggeration, but you get the idea!), and it's fun to just find a ramp and go flying. The storyline is pretty good! It's not particularly serious, but a serious storyline in a game like this would be a mistake. The game is free to make fun of itself, and it does quite often, but still maintains a somewhat coherent plot, it isn't [i]completely[/i] "do-it-yourself." The humor can be crude at times but I think that compliments the game's style. And the lawyer character, as far as I know, is in every. single. level. I'm always a fan of the retro style and this game knocks it out of the park. The models are fun and hyperbolic, and the color is super saturated and novel. This is also a really long game! It took about 9 hours to beat the main game (I'm writing this review shortly after that), and it seems that in terms of total collectible count, I'm only 60% done. There's almost half of the game left to explore! It also reveals more things to do as the game progresses, that's fairly typical. I'd recommend this game! Pretty much everything was done right. This game had a specific goal in mind and met it exactly. Check it out, if you're willing to spend the $17. The 97% positive rating (at the time of writing) is well deserved!

I'm a huge fan of driving games. I'm also a huge fan of 3D platforming collect-a-thon games. This is the perfect intersection (pun intended) of the two unlikely-to-be-paired genres. This game consistently delivers in its presentation and humor while feeling satisfying and rewarding. Overall I love it!!

Well polished, tight controls, good level design, a lot of secrets and perfect humor. Everything a 3D platformer needs!

While the initial moveset seems restrictive, you'll soon uncover a bunch of special moves you can pull off that take gameplay from straightforward driving to fast-paced technical maneuvers as you blast through the silly and colorful (but often quite challenging) stages. There are lots of optional challenges for players who really want to push themselves, and most objectives allow for creative solutions via clever use of moves or surrounding terrain.
