Great game for the console   DragonSlayer22
This port of this game.

I had this on my Game Boy Advance thinking it was a top-down car game that you simply drive on a flat pane.

I was wrong.

Graphics: 8 The graphics in this game look very good for he Game Boy Advance and still look somewhat good today. The cars are 2.D. Sprites on a 3.D. generated landscape, which almost no other game on the console did at the time (except the Driver series of games). The graphics look a little down-scaled compared to the console or arcade versions, but it still looks great.Sound: 7 The music in this game is not made by The Offspring or any other bands. The music is a loop of Metal music that sounds, again, great for the console. This game also has voice acting. Not seen on the console unless it was Game Boy Advance Video cartage. Other than that the sound effects are pretty basic, but it is a Game Boy Advance game so what would you expect.  

Addictiveness: 7 The port of this game is still fun to play to this day, but is often overshadowed by the console ports and the squeals of this game.

Story: 2 You are a person signing up for a Taxi Service driving people around. That's about it actually. It's similar to the other ports.Depth: 7 The game has the same amount of Crazy Box/Mini games to do and they do not look shortened compared to the console games. The reason why I rated it a little lower than the console port was because of the Cities being smaller by a bit (the highway on city 1).Difficulty: 8 The game is a bit harder of a game to play than on the console, as when there are a lot of cars or structures, the  game can be full of lag. The traffic and hit boxes are a little off too.OVERALL: 7.5 Great port of a game that was released on arcades and consoles, if you have a Game Boy Advance, then you should get this game as it is not very expensive and will want you to keep playing it. There are many other ports of this game too, but I like this one personally as it showed the capabilities of the Game Boy Advance. It should be remembered for doing so.
