"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."
