Use whatever route you can possibly find to get to your destination in the quickest time.
Choose from 4 different cabbies each with their own unique official Austin FX4 London Taxi.
Use the Wii Remote in the driving position to control the taxi around the busy London traffic.
The only crazy things about London Taxi Rush Hour, as far as Games Radar could tell, were that they drove on the left side of the road (and even that won't be unusual to their UK readers), and that any self-respecting game developer actually let a game this bad out onto the shelves. Even for $20, this wreck is a pass. Rent it if you must, but don't say Games Radar didn't warn you.

Publisher Destineer is nabbing up all the best racing licenses in the videogame business. First, it rocked our world with Classic British Motor Racing and now it's come along with its epic follow-up, London Taxi Rush Hour (which successfully steals keywords from the titles of most major arcade racers). The project, developed by trusty Data Design, proudly boasts a front-end interface strikingly similar to just about every other Data Design-created Wii project, but that's to be expected. And as its name suggests, London Taxi endeavors to capitalize on the successful formula of Crazy Taxi with speedy car challenges set to the backdrops of a wide-open city. There's is just one little problem: it's terrible. In fact, the word 'terrible' pleaded with us not to use it as a descriptor of this game because it felt that it wasn't powerful enough a statement. It suggested IGN instead use the newly-hatched term terri-awful-crap-no-no.
The first trailer of the recently announced game London Taxi: Rushour has already appeared on the net. In London Taxi: Rushour you will have to take people to their destinations as fast as possible.
