DX Plays - London Cab Challenge (The Very Best Of Phoenix Games)

DX takes on the worst that Phoenix Games had to offer back in the day with the horrendous London Cab Challenge. A game so horrible that you can't even drive down a straight line correctly.

[@KyrosTheWolf]

As someone who has been to London I can confirm that the road textures occasionally glitch out and that the taxis handle like shit and play bumper cars with the traffic

[@TurboPro9952]

Rip people in london.

[@MuscleCarLover]

I once saw this game in a game shop, looked at the back of the case and went "Errrrrrrr, noooo"

[@valen9835]

wise choice

[@AmanojakuPenguin]

Makes Big Rigs look like The Witcher 3

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

+T3RR0R1Z3R GTA's Singleplayer is one of the best campaign's I've ever played. But I agree multiplayer is trash. Full of bugs, hackers and 12 year olds

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

Rumor has it that, inspired by this amazing masterpiece of a game, nowadays DX can be found driving a cab in London and working on his amazing cab career.

[@purplemilkshakes186]

This is like the Superman 64 of taxi games

[@valen9835]

so it's the only one than

[@88fibonaccisequence]

DXFan619 does not seem to realize that he's supposed to drive on the left side of the road.

[@DXFromYT]

Yeah, it totally slipped my mind considering the name of the game, haha.

[@CrazyJay516]

The real challenge is finishing this trash

[@sabasgt]

How come this has infinitely better collision physics than Watch Dogs? XD

[@0Blueaura]

Never had problems in watch dogs lol.

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

"This is an open world, guys!" your sarcasm never gets old.

[@IamMunkk]

That fucking messenger function is probably the worst hud I have ever seen in a video game! Rest In Piss Phoenix Games.

[@xavierstanton8146]

Lets hope Phoenix Games doesnt rise from the ashes. Get it?

[@sheriffaboubakar9720]

Xavier Stanton no

[@calvinskithepolishamerican7524]

A poor mans Crazy Taxi.

[@crisptugboat8764]

this game is painful to look at.

[@OMGitsKITTYSMITTY]

And I thought Ride to Hell Retribution was bad.

[@crisptugboat8764]

OMGitsKITTYSMITTY it is. but nowhere near as bad as this.

[@TheArchDemon729]

You should play one of those Phoenix/Dingo pictures games like dalmatians or animal soccer world

[@thientuongnguyen5002]

Phelous got 'em covered

[@Ziko577]

The lag's about to come bros! That line I will always remember. DX you keep making these vids man!

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

The "London Cab" in this game doesn't even remotely resemble a goddamn London cab! It looks like some American 50s car.

[@DarkWarchieff]

These physics are too comedic man. at least the game made DX laugh too.

[@GuyOnAChair]

You and Tennings may be the only people to play this!

[@sungjin008]

AVGN Should review this game!

[@Reynard_Fawkes]

Why the hell is the taxi a hearse? Or is the car really just that badly modeled?

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

Dude, aside from your fantastic anime reviews, you do some hilarious gameplay as well! This channel is a hidden gem, which is sort of a shame considering the garbage that seems to grow fast as shit with half the talent. Fuck it, I'm just glad I found this and hope you get to keep making these.

[@KSNaethos]

I agree with u

[@mitchelanhalt5261]

Oh wow. This was uploaded on my Birthday!

[@doradorahaisai]

Aj Weems stranger danger

[@ajweems2002]

Wallet Kun ha noooo not like that

[@gooncaveenthusiast]

DX I think this game is better then any of the Digital Homicide games.

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

04:43 what kind of math is that? Actually, cab drivers there are millionaires if those are the earnings for such short runs.

[@valen9835]

*reads title* that's like saying getting beaten up is better than getting robbed

[@sheriffaboubakar9720]

Pokemon115 lol

[@Parmie]

Phoenix Games's seal of approval.

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

I have only one complaint: this doesn't look like the London I visited. All the rest is fine, especially the physics and realism. Hope they get a license to replicate the city as it is. Once that's done, this is gonna be the best game ever!

[@gooncaveenthusiast]

oh hell yeah. London Cab Challenge

[@CosmicW]

A masterpiece.....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Colin12475]

This game wouldn't even cut it as a free flash game.

[@dinohermann1887]

This "game" is basically a poor mans version of Sega's cult classic "Crazy Taxi"!

[@gaymienne]

How did this get past beta test lol

[@emPIEror]

By simply never going through beta testing

[@gaymienne]

+Chimaera Bellerophon probably cuz they didn't have the budget to beta test the damn game lol😂

[@sabasgt]

"How did this get past beta test lol" Implying they even know what the word "testing" means xd

[@spongebobfan190]

I read a rumor that the beta testers were forcefully sent to the unemployment line after this game was released.

[@gaymienne]

+PerfectTube12 omg really that just appalling to think that the fire the beta testers and release the game any way

[@gamefinnatik766]

I commend you for putting up with all these bad games.

[@SteveMacSticky]

Haha you were driving on the wrong side of the road 😀

[@eVhyRuss]

London cans don't even look like either ,come on!!

[@liquidchris5215]

is this Medicated Taxi? instead of the offspring when it the car comes down the hill does it play elevator muzak while the demo mode gets stuck in a glitching tree?

[@grammysworld5449]

ironically, I was watching the Phoenix Games video an hour ago while playing SAO hollow fragment

[@Mayhzon]

Hello crap Grammy, you're taking ALL the stops.

[@grammysworld5449]

+Mayhzon I have to since I plan on doing a play through

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

The cab doesn't even look like a proper London cab.

[@DarkWarchieff]

If only there was a widely popular game franchise with taxicab side missions. Too bad that is a fantasy.

[@dinohermann1887]

Crazy Taxi

[@sfknns]

Why are the tires so small? LOL

[@gui18bif]

Bought it as a kid. Didnt find anything wrong with it. Played it regularly

[@kostaskalyviotis7336]

Well at least its playable

[@jessepasquini8650]

Ha. DX-KUN was being ironic with that tittle.

[@lutfihadi5636]

What amulator do you use?

[@flymachine014]

Hey DX, i know you are a PC gamer, but for this and other games have you played the original version in the original hardware? Do you own any console or you emulate all the retro games?

[@SeuLima1994]

The worst agony i felt in game by never playing, these controls make satan have shame of himself not being able to produce such a turd that torture the player and the viewer! Phoenix Games cannot be insulted with any word of the human language known because its not worthy trashing every curse word possible with this "thing".

[@ThePissedOffOwl]

was I the only one who played Mario kart music in the background

[@blueberrymeat4581]

I remember this game used to be the shit to me when i was like 8, i played it with my cousin and we had a fun time with this shit lmao

[@hermancampbell9770]

😂 Most Broken Game I Ever Seen

[@jagannathbarman6712]

still better than swbf

[@spongebobfan190]

Sure, let's compare a game that may lack content, but actually works to a game that's broken and bugged, and probably has very little content, even for a PS2 game.

[@dragon8tor442]

What does SWBF mean?

[@dragon8tor442]

nevermind

[@DXFromYT]

Right. Hate it when people make dumb comments like that. This game is horrible beyond belief.

[@Moonslayer01]

The fuck wrong with the textures

[@MrTheil]

DEJA VU

[@baxterdr9016]

It is caces

[@riverwhite8418]

Can you play some bad games on Dreamcast?

[@dinohermann1887]

The only bad ones there are Spirit Of Speed 1937 (last game made by LJN) and Seamen!

[@Rpground]

Once the novelty of the physics wears off, its so boring...

[@1891kmk]

Running on superman64 engine

[@deathsalegaming]

I'm surprised he didn't mention midas interactive because the same bastard made phoenix games

[@hertzwave8001]

Play Need for Speed most wanted (2005)

[@Reynard_Fawkes]

That would be a nice change of pace from the trashy games.

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

London used to be really small and unimpressive, according to this "game".

[@goatbone]

If you open the message box while taking passengers you will discover the game is rife with horrible spelling errors.

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

04:42 what kind of madman's math is that??? 20+45=400?????😂😂😂😂. That's why some cab drivers in London have an attitude making all this crazy money on a 500 meter fare.

[@Sylphella]

Wasn't Saints Row undercover a canceled game?

[@DXFromYT]

Yep.

[@Brazknuckles50]

Is this game worse than Taxi Driver?

[@mementocity]

but taxi driver was more bearable than this

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

By a landslide

[@Swissair171]

The taxi in this looks like the bastard hellspawn of a Morgan, a Mini, a Citroën CX and a hearse! Also, this game is a blatant ripoff of Crazy Taxi!

[@CedricBarber0687]

man did you ever get psychotoxic??

[@VeraLee]

He put that in his top 20 worst games

[@CedricBarber0687]

+Vera Lee true but that was the demo

[@plaguedocvirtue]

A shity clone of crazy taxi it seems

[@ABSOLUTE_INFINITY_FG]

This looks like a very horrible rip-off of SEGA's Crazy Taxi.

[@Trinity_Primaris]

Play galactic hitman please!!!!!

[@crisptugboat8764]

he did

[@Trinity_Primaris]

+CrispTugBoat I saw it in his 2015 worst games lost but not a DX plays of it yet

[@GeneralGorillaSonicOC]

Get an Uber instead

[@paraclonebasedtrooper8225]

Big rigs over the road racing is more better then this shit!

[@paraclonebasedtrooper8225]

And the London one looks more of a psp game

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

+Para Romance,ecchi,hentai hater trooper psp can run games that look a lot better than this

[@paraclonebasedtrooper8225]

Andrew Qiu actually I made of mistake it looks more of a phone game device I know the PSP has more better graphics

[@qwemlhjsi4386]

+Para Romance,ecchi,hentai hater trooper lmao maybe a phone game from 2005 look at asphalt 8 for example that mobile game looks even better than some PC racing games imo

[@paraclonebasedtrooper8225]

Andrew Qiu so true!

[@KyrosTheWolf]

Not sure if it qualifies as the worst Pheonix game, since all their other games were just poorly animated german rippoffs of Disney films. Also this is actually a rip off of a game called The Simpsons Road Rage, which ripped off Crazy Taxi. So LCC is a rip off of a rip off!

[@theblacksheep1000]

A shitty Britty clone of Taxi/Simpsons RR lol you lost by 1/2 second!

[@marcosviniciuslimademedeir287]

you should play Crazy Taxi instead. It's way better than this shitty ripoff.
