Description

Taxi Racer London 2 is a single player, keyboard controlled racing game set in London.

In this game the player takes control of nine cars and drives around a 3D representation of London picking up fares and delivering them to their destination. The fares are identified by having coloured '$' signs over their heads, the different colours show the player which are the high paying fares.

A knowledge of London is not needed to play this game as, once a passenger has entered the taxi, a direction arrow appears and points the way. There are eight timed taxi missions in the game, each set in a different area of the city and a different time of the day. In these missions the player has to earn a set amount of cash from their customers by delivering them to their destination quickly. For each pedestrian picked up the player receives a bonus item grenade, missiles, flamethrower, invulnerable, repair, jump, boost, etc.

In addition to the taxi missions there are four races around the city in which landmarks are used as checkpoints and the player must race between them within a specified time. Once a race has been finished the time is saved and the next time the mission is played the player will see a ghost car representing their current best time which they must try and beat.
Finally there is an untimed mission with no goals and no people to pick up where the player can just cruise around the city.

The game has multiple camera angles, redefinable action keys, a multiplayer mode, plays in many screen resolutions from 640x480x16 to 1920x1080x32 and also supports a steering wheel.
