At one fifth the cost of Crazy Taxi, Parcel Panic delivers about one fifth the fun, challenge and excitement.
Crazy Taxi is a sandbox, with dozens of fares that can be picked up, and hundreds of routes. But Parcel Panic requires the player to pick up packages in a specific order, which doesnt change. The route from one stop to the next is marked by a green line, making it practically impossible to make a wrong turn. The setting is pretty enough, but the roads arent shared with any other traffic, so it feels rather empty.
And it feels slow. Really slow compared to the fastest moments of Crazy Taxi. My six year old was intimidated the first time she tried to play Crazy Taxi, but she had no problem with Parcel Panic.
Not bad, but not iconic, either...
