I am all about wacky cross-promotions that make no sense whatsoever, which is why I’m here to talk about Crazy Taxi: City Rush’s (Free) latest update which adds WWE wrestler and ’80s icon Hulk Hogan as a playable character. Why Hulk Hogan? Is it because his snazzy yellow tank tops are of a similar color to taxi cabs? Or because he “runs wild" over things and the taxis in Crazy Taxi run wild in the streets dropping off passengers? Maybe. I don’t really know, nor do I really care. I can drive a taxi cab around as Hulk Hogan and that’s all that really matters.
With this latest update, you can now hire The Immortal Hulk Hogan as a driver, and for the next month the game will feature Hulk-themed challenges and rewards. There are new Hulkamania-themed customizations for your ride, and you can even take a stab at driving the Hulkster tank. There’s also a new “Share Replay" function in the game, and by sharing replays you’ll have a chance to win some in-game Diamonds or “signed Hulk Hogan goodies."
Crazy Taxi City Rush launched this past July, and is the first new entry in the Crazy Taxi series since 2007’s Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars for the PSP, which was actually more of just a repackaging of the first two Crazy Taxi games. If you didn’t include Fare Wars in there, City Rush is the first new Crazy Taxi game in over a decade, and it’s exclusive to mobile devices. That means there’s all sorts of gross free to play stuff you have to deal with, but that stuff aside, the underlying game is actually quite fun. If you’re among those who have been enjoying Crazy Taxi: City Rush but felt it lacked enough Hulk Hogan for your tastes, you should rush on over to the App Store and run wild all over this latest update.
iPad board games burned me out. I'd rather play them occasionally with friends, than frequently until I'm sick to death of them. I may buy this anyway just to see what the game is like but I won't play online.
You can play against the AI in campaign mode too! Can't do that with a board game.
Is TA planning to review GT?
Dno!
Its great that the game mechanics are so good, because the interface and animation is absolutely terrible. Still worth buying it
What the heck is wrong with the interface??
This is a great game.
The main things are the 2d to 3d switch, just seems a really cheap way of doing it. Also way the ships are displayed on the linear scale seems like it could be alot more intuitive, and any game which uses a default font for all its campaign text also strikes me as "couldnt be bothered".
Huh! I am highly critical of games and probably too negative and outspoken but I think this game's graphics and animation are perfect for what it is.
The game uses the graphic tiles from the board game, it's not the best art but it's alright and carries the humorous theme the game is trying to pass. The UI otherwise is very streamlined, natural, and easy to get into. The 3D voyage effects are also neat in my opinion.
The game also has a massive single player campaign with a full-on story. It slowly adds more of the game mechanics so also a bit of a tutorial for newcomers. Great game, great UI, well worth it. Note that for me it took a while to fully get into it, give it a few attempts if needed.
games like this need to start supporting iphone 6+ and iphone 6
these phones arent too small anymore. and a lot of potential revenue is being lost by people who don't have an ipad
