"Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator disappoints on almost every front, save for its visually appealing city of Barcelona and well-designed cars. The game lacks depth and fails to offer any meaningful engagement."

"Taxi driving in Barcelona looks good. Unfortunately, it&s;s also the first and last positive thing we can say about this game. As soon as you pass a few kilometers, the enthusiasm dissipates like steam over a pot."
Read original review"If you&s;re looking for a deep, well-rounded driving simulator with a career mode, then Taxi Life is going to fall short on all accounts. There are a variety of similar titles available that do everything that Taxi Life offers and …"

"Taxi Life: A City Driving Simulator proves that not every occupation can become a worthwhile video game simulation. It&s;s infested with bugs and soulless gameplay, making it more of a mundane taxi than a crazy one."
Read original review"Taxi Life fails at everything. The performance is very poor, the AI makes gameplay very difficult, and the recreation of Barcelona falls very short in terms of scale. It needs time and a lot of work to become the game …"

"It’s neither fun nor terrible, but rather simply bad – and bad in a way that never quite makes the jump into guilty pleasure/so-bad-it’s-good terrible."
Read original review"Taxi Life becomes another addition to the long line of unpolished simulators. Barcelona may be a lovely city entire of sun, but a strange driving model, monotonous conversations with passengers, and repetitive tasks ruin the overall experience. A little more …"
