Review: Crazy Taxi City Rush (Android/iOS)

Due to a recent unfortunate event, a slot has opened up in my portable gaming. I always carry my PsPgo everywhere anyway, so I've been trailing my phone as a secondary device to that lately. I have covered mobile games before on OGUK in numerous articles, so it does get a little gaming time every so often. "So why not take a look at something on Android?" I thought. How about something from SEGA. SEGA's release schedule has been a bit barren of late afterall, and as it turns out - Crazy Taxi City Rush is one of their latest releases. With it being designed for smartphones, yet having some of the original creative talent of the series on-board, does it manage to capture any of the Crazy Taxi magic?

PSA: Recent Events

To all our readers,

After reading and watching about this recent lack of discretion in games journalism I feel compelled to adress you.
Here at Otaku Gamers Uk this blog was started and continues to be ran under a complete and absolute truth telling policy.
Every writer be it full time, part time, past, present or future is told that every review/otaku review/preview/feature or opinion has to be 100% legitimate true.
We won't and will not tolerate "pandering" or falsehoods for the sake of a little extra. Regardless of review code or not, the promise of extra traffic or something to further the website, we will not accept and continue to report the truth.

The best way to explain this is that someone raised a concern that a review didn't score as high and as such would lose us favor affecting reviews in the future. Our reply to that is simple, if you want a good review you produce a good game, simple as that.
Every review is given to the writer we feel can give you the best and honest write up you as readers deserve.

Any writer seen breaking this code will immediately be let go and publicly named and shamed. This is something we take very seriously.

Here at Otaku Gamers UK we tell it how it is, all the time.

Thank you for your time and constant support as we reach our first year reporting.
