Mile High Taxi Review

I love a design pitch that speaks to me personally. Mile High Taxi is Crazy Taxi mixed with the neverending cityscape of Star Wars’ Coruscant, tasking you with flying between immense high-rises and earning money like Bruce Willis in The Fifth Element. If that sounds like the best possible combination to you too, then you need to strap in – it’s going to be a crazy ride!

Mile High Taxi pits you as a taxi driver in the futuristic skies, nipping and zipping through the bustling sky lanes to get your passenger to their destination. Pick one of three drivers – one of whom boasts a shock of Sega-bothering green hair – and take your floating yellow cab out for a spin.

You can opt for Standard mode which is the classic Crazy Taxi-style passenger pick-up mode. Get your charges to their destination as quickly as possible and earn more money the faster you do it. They’ll leap into your taxi, laugh, grumble, tell you stories as well as letting you know where they’re going, with the only downside being that it doesn’t feel like there’s a particularly long list of unique spoken lines for them to say.

If you’re struggling to get far here you might want to check out Free Roam where you can check out the city without fear of those pesky customers and their need to go places. This is all well and good, but the city isn’t really that different, with few landmarks that you can really use to navigate by. You’ll most use the directional arrow to your destination, and if your passenger has said what floor they’re on you’ll have a pretty decent sense of where you’re heading.

The freshest mode is Sequential, where you have to pick up and drop off customers in a set sequence, levelling up once you’ve dropped enough customers off and progressing
