London Cab Challenge (Phoenix Games)

[365replay]

how can the producers just end up and say "well done!" ???

[tonygnargnar]

It's because he is driving on the other side of the road

[PowerfulRepeater]

Hey, this game encourages driving the speed limit... even if it is just to catch up with the draw distance...

[RPKGameVids]

The pop up is terrible.

[CommisarCake]

It's not because the game is crappy,that's actual london weather.

[Pfargtl9001]

Why does this game exist

[Thewickedjunglist]

@Pfargtl9001 This is the reason why kittens die.

[DrCorndog1]

Someone's gotta take those arrows where they need to go.

[CadrinHaverit]

Dat draw distance.

Gotta appreciate the developers' attention to details. They even thought of the famous English fog, although I suppose they might have overdone it.

[jamesbondgeek1]

The only conceivable scenario in which "He popped out right in front of me!" could possibly work.

[SubaruOfTheTriad]

1:48 - SUDDENLY! A building!

Seriously, this is the shittiest draw distance I've ever seen in a game, and I've played Turok for pete's sake.

[DrewPicklesOgre]

you know its bad when it comes from the asshole of the guys who made Animal Soccer World

[axellica]

GTA V!



[bocajbee]

Oh god it hurts....

[AKCflex]

WHAT THE FUCK...............

[oskchava91]

Superman 64 Racing

[VULGARIS1901]

@oskchava91 superman 64 is better than this game. and that game was REALLY bad :)

[Rotard12a]

That's interesting, I din't realize the Thames was 1.4 miles wide...

...or that if you venture too close to a tree it will briefly absorb your vehicle before catapulting it in an arbitrary direction

[Garrad3]

So this was on ps2 aswell? XD Crazy taxi better then this and its older

[StephenAlexWalker]

@Garrad3 Not just a little older either, Crazy Taxi was released 4 YEARS before on a less powerful console from the previous generation and still looks a hundred times better :)

[faisca5]

This is a game? Fuck.....I thought it was a Windows 3.1 screen saver,

[Hashbrowniepie]

I'd buy that for a dollar! lol, just kidding.

[BigNastyB16]

if i placed my balls on my keyboard and left them there for 5 minutes, the result of that would be more cohesive and productive than this.

[Lorddaddyfunk]

The main menu is the best part of this game

[tehblackarachnid]

at least in big rigs nothing was popping up at you! actually I am debating whether or not this is worse

[donnishark]

At least the frame rate is good!

[pHr33kAcHu]

I like the first level music. :3

[TheInkySea]

I heard that Dingo Pictures somehow got the rights to make this into a thrilling action movie....in 3....no, 5D! PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLOWN BY LONDON CAB CHALLENGE: SPEED FOR THE QUEEN!

[darkninja0200]

This looks like a horrible game. >:[

Why would you play this?

[kingxciter]

Looks like the best cargame I ever seen! More of this English Fog in games pls :D :D :D

[alenight85]

I only can say....RUBBISH!

[Yoshimatsu414]

lmao :D

[kvrisu]

Eh, compare it to The Getaway Black Monday on the same console...

[SimuRei]

4:16

Rank 1: Greenhorn

Rank 2: Poor Apprentice

Rank 3: INFERNAL

Rank 4: Trainee

...wait, what?

[nippleraisin]

omg, its so shit! I love it.

[Intelx4500]

draw distance driver 2 >>>>>> London cab challenge

[uratoko]

Draw distance = 10 m

[Veyneru]

Almost as good as the masterpiece that is Big Rigs Over the Road Racing.

[NosajDurmit]

I think this game is a "driving around with a massive head wound" simulator.

[sgnebmak]

According to their website, Phoenix Games has only 6 employees.

[DropPodFullOfPonies]

For some inexplicable reason, I want to own and play this retarded ripoff of Crazy Taxi. I must be a closet masochist...

[EarthBoundFan97]

I didn't know that a sequel for Big Rigs was made.

[Greatpasqua]

how much was the budget for this game?

5 dollars?

[ewandougie]

Mayvbe its an abstract statement for life in london or something. Things will pop up out of nowhere and hurt you!

[LaZdiZorro]

This is Forza 4's only rival!

[TheAsztronauta]

This is called cab challenge because the challenge of the game is to predict the stuff coming out of nowhere before they are already in your ass. A really cool game for peeps who see into the future! wow, Phoenix, I appreciate that you finally made the first game for those who have special abilities! Other games always used to forget about them!

[consoleswillprevail]

wow this must belong to the worst games ever (all Phoenix games as well). I´m surprised that Sony agreed to release this piece of shit on their platform.

[Koolkitties]

Looks pretty good for a wii game, wait this is ps2? What the hell?

[JohnFordDanceTroupe]

This is worse than Driver.

[consoleswillprevail]

@JohnFordDanceTroupe how did you mean it?!

[nesbroslash]

This taxi is crazier than that Sega one ever was. >_>

[sada965]

SERÉ SINCERO, EL JUEGO ES UNA MIERDA HIJA DE PUTA LA MUY DESQUICIADA QUE TE DAN GANAS DE CAGARTE EN LA PUTOSIMA MADRE DE JUSTIN, LOS GRAFICOS SON UN PRESERVATIVO USADO ROTO Y LA JUGABILIDAD ES MAS FEA QUE EL TRABAJO DE PAPEL HIGIENITO, PREFIERO AMPUTARME EL PENE Y NO JUGAR A ESA PORQUERIA.

[CaptainAshSpearow]

"If there's one thing I know, it's how to drive while stoned."

[PS3SROCK1234]

BEYOND!

[nantocsem]

I could never imagine, how to make bugs like these as a programmer.

They should just rewrite int AppearDistance=100; to int AppearDistance=400;

And that lamp bug:

if (carposition<=lampposition-car­size AND (lampposition=carfront OR lampposition=carfront-carsize)­) { stop; } //but they forgot the car's sides so...

if (lamppostioin=carfront-carsize­/2) //err, that's not possible there's an error then, kick the car

{ kick car; }

(I know, that in C it's || and && but to make you all understand)

[ObeseOnion]

out of every frekin game i get for my birthday i get this shit

[Peusterokos1]

RUBBISH !

[psxdriverplayer]

This same glitch has happened to me a couple of times when I loaded my progress.

[Saieras]

Lesson learned: Either get an indestructible armored car or just put on your friggin glasses.

[Kristanni20X6]

Jesus Crappin' Christ...

[looker999997]

This is almost as bad as the pc port of Saints' Row 2

[KaLaka16]

Midtown madness alpha lol

They even forgot to make the game!

[KaLaka16]

Midtown Madness alpha version lol

[vef444]

Is this a joke?

[GortokTheDestroyer]

MY EYES, THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!

[NeuroManson]

Sega called, they appreciate the effort at making Crazy Taxi look better by releasing an obviously sub par ripoff, but they think that Crazy Taxi looks fine on its own.

[Amaranthus616]

@NeuroManson except it shouldnt be sega...it should be the guys that made taxi driver in 84, hell crazy taxi even stole the jumping taxi technique.....

but yeah this game looks bad, even taxi driver looks way better....theres actual people to pick up

[TheTabshirEmperor]

this game is too glitchy, not good

[wedgeredleader]

@disturbedgenesis they're pretty bad at movies too

[xxczerxx]

Better graphics than Gran Turismo 5

[DisturbedGenesis]

Wow, Phoenix Games is like Video Briquendo, except with crappy games, not crappy movies =S

[Hurricane047]

Graphics are so amazing they had to turn draw distance to 0.00001 to avoid fps drops

[Jaxd789]

OMG This game looks awesome! I'm saving up for it! But I'm also trading in a few games like GTA and Gran Turismo because I wanna be able to drive around London!

[lorenzo89theking]

look jaguar 32x game, ops is a ps2 game

[RubyMew365]

Well, at least the music is nice.

[Dieg0Sp]

jogo podre!

[kkslider555]

the composer of the music should find a better job

[darkstar1987lx]

i'd say this game has perfect graphics for the first game boy

[pwninator345]

so I guess this is what happens when phoenix games actually makes, you know, games, and not just shitty cartoons

this game truly is better then Crazy Taxi *sarcasm*

[lotusexcelsa]

I can understand the need for budget games

but at least they must fucking work!

[andekev7]

what brand of cereal does this come in?

[jalojoes]

wth ...

buggiest game ever.

this game is unplayable.

[meatloaf3]

lol, is the only objective in this game to drive to point A to B?

[lukeluuke]

This game has "small" pop-up issues :D

[AetherSingularity]

Best physics ever.

[UltraTroopa]

:')

[NinjaMuffinMaster]

This is SO realistic. It's obvious that it's just really foggy.

..

Seriously. This is a Crazy Taxi ripoff, neh?

[cuppajoesugar]

This reminds me of Driver on the PLAYSTATION 1. Yeah..

[blowmeuptomleykis]

@cuppajoesugar Driver on ps1 has better graphics than this.

[grenadeer09]

it's so funny, you'll be driving on an open road at top speed then, OH FUCK, A BUS!

[artman40]

If draw distance would be any less, then you could pick your nose and your deskmate wouldn't notice anything.

[SizSkiizd]

Those traffic cars and trees just appear at random.. how the fak are you supposed to play?

[Zwergf]

Comment peut-on faire autant de clipping putain !

[ccricers]

Physics by Havok.

[nantocsem]

British mist rules: Opacity=5%/feet :D

[2000Nadeen]

the music's pretty good, though

[OK8888]

@2000Nadeen I've liked all the music in the phoenixgames videos of infernal monkey that I've seen so far. Maybe they should stop making games and just concentrate on the music

[IAMTHECAPSGODLOL]

@OK8888

*Omminous jungle drum soundtrack*

[Acid2Rider]

Epic collision detection.

[clache]

putain c'est horrible

[eatmyfumes]

Oh my god, that draw distance...

[darkstar1987lx]

this is for ps1 right?

[KillerFreya]

Well...I, uh...At least the cars are cute.

[Shadowhog]

Poor man's Crazy taxi?

[LibertadorXXL]

This game sucks very hard!!!!

[Infernolord]

it wasn't my fault officer, that building just came out of nowhere.

[jorden9k]

@Infernolord Yeah yeah tell it to the judge -Cop Drives into pole-

[Sejr]

More like London Glitch Challenge. What the fuck?

[jmr48080]

Those aren't pop ups, it's realistic British fog.

[FIXTREME]

~_~ I have seen 3do games that were better than this

[ryken102]

Where can I buy this?

[wangtang32000]

oh god... >_>

[RonixEnclave]

Glad real life isn't this way. OH CRAP, CAR! TUUURRRNN OHHHH FFFFUUUUU

[i8dpuc]

That terrible draw distance and pop-in make this game probably worse than E.T. At least they buried E.T. out in the desert but this sadly still seems to be around

[TheKillCommander]

The music is awesome.

[Truthfulpietro]

Is this a Playstation 2 Game?

[abdigon]

to help your enjoyment - around 3:30, when the melody comes in, you can sing along.

"london cab! We're drivin a london cab."

I did this the whole time while playing.

[tobbaddol]

Add some more beats and electronic instruments to that and you have a new club hit :P

[pyromodder]

the intro picture makes it look like some badass cel chaded game with police chases or something.

but it's pheonix games

bastards

[HyperSonicXtreme]

Nah Big Rigs was rated the lowest video game score in video gaming history, it even beats the horrendous Superman 64.

[ahanix1988]

Holy crap, for someone that apparently likes MST3K, you sure don't pick up on sarcasm.

[ahanix1988]

Did Big Rigs have muzak? I don't think so.

[ahanix1988]

The hell are you talking about? Big Rigs didn't have that friggen GLOSSY SHINE on the player-controlled vehicle! That's nex-gen graphics if I ever saw it.

[konvictz0007]

the draw distanc is apalling...

[milkethefish]

It's the QUALITY taxi!

[ohohothisrocks]

this is just a shameful ripoff of crazy taxi...

[Ultraminiman]

It's like I'm really driving a cab in London!

[Gigaspine7]

What kind of cabs have you been riding in, and which London do you speak of?

[Agentbromsnor]

Only with shit popping up out of nowhere and rubber cars! :D

[shadowhexogram]

They must have hired that guy who made that game to do this.

[putaindheretique]

1:49 xDDD

What a crap ...

[XxHU4LxX0]

.....Umm What The Fuck Was That?

[JimGrim90]

Are Phoenix games still in business?

[artman40]

Unfortunately yes.

[Axe995]

I've seen N64 games that look far better than this.

[poopottaja]

I`ve seen gameboy games that look better than this!

[disciple1313x]

@Axe995

Makes you truly appreciate Vigilante 8...doesn't it?

[seanileus]

@disciple1313x

Shit, it makes me appreciate Maniac Mole.

[AugerMartel]

Appalling.

[D3STRUKT0R99]

it sounds like a wind-up car

[dl902102]

THIS IS PS2?!

[poopottaja]

Yes it is

[Sarato]

Haha, I've actually seen this game on sale in a Swedish Store. Goes for about 12 american dollars. I am actually suggesting buying this just for the bad gameplay but it isn't such a good idea when you think about the fact that it is like giving money to Phoenix Games. No thanks.

[Rabidhellbugs]

This game is amazing...

[XxXgabbO95XxX]

wtf???amazing???

[darkfippy]

YOU SPEAK LIES!

[darkfippy]

CARWASH TYCOON

CRABBY ADVENTURE

CHEMIST TYCOON

LONDON CAB CHALLENGE

and

FURRY TALES

this must be the BEST PUBLISHER IN THE WORLD.

[xcloudx01]

It's called challenge because you dont see the cars coming!

[wooterz]

Please tell me that's not the default draw distance...

[wooterz]

Wait, this is on the fucking PS2?!

[halfdark000]

actually, this is a completely accurate sim of london taxi driving. you pay several grand for a driver that can't seem to see anything further than 20 feet away.

[USAJAP1]

This is the worst draw distance ever. Period.

[RAWRDOMORAWR]

This is actually from the official website of phoenix games.

"Welcome to the world of Phoenix Games - The only European Super Budget Publisher"

If that's true then i feel sorry for the gamers in Europe.

[Sarato]

At least it is better than Big Rigs.

[Alienspider1]

Everything's better than Big Rigs.

[Muetzze]

Hey Big Rigs rules XDDD

[mafiaboy797]

the programer of this game must have been a two year old

[johnmalenko]

hahahah WTF !

[fallofaeons]

BEYOOOOOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[artman40]

Presented by the makers of Monster Eggs, Monster Eggs 2 and Drop 'n Blow.

[666tradash999]

this is my favorite game....

[DanyAlejandro]

Phoenix games makes it's living from cheap parents who give their children this as christmas present.

I would kill my parents.

[NoveltyMop]

More like, grandmas who pick out a game thinking "oh, look, a video game, little Johnny'll love it!"

[thomasgotschalk]

OMG.... that looks f..... horrible.... but fun to watch, thanks for posting!!! :-)

[FromHighOrbit]

Wow. Just...wow.

The view distance looks worse than Superman 64. It was funny to see the car go through that light pole only for the physics to suddenly remember it should have crashed.

This almost makes Big Rigs look good.

[poopskinTheLiar]

'Pheonix Games'. Yup, same jokers behind Animal soccer world and that one 7 dwarves ripoff.

One advantage of living in the US is never having to see this game, but europe sounds cool too.

[troyhoward15]

Dude, you should notify all these games to the Angry Video Game Nerd.

[disciple1313x]

@ troyhoward15

He'd fucking expload if he saw it...

[bronxbombers222]

BEYOWNED!

[HermanAnimation]

even worse is-this is for ps2.yeesh...

[butterbum40k]

BEYOND!

[TheSharpTHOfLulz]

This makes Big Rigs look like.. a half decent movie game.

Big
