Fondest memories of this amazing game
The Good
This game is perfect!
* Action, CONSTANT action.
* Living environment. You aren't the only action, there's just ACTION!
* An environment that is full of detail and character. Each map is HUGE and are just rich with bright building, streets full of pedestrians and cars, their own hoods with their own styles and flow.
* Missions that are exciting and fast paced. If you know the secret to getting through the plot as fast as possible (never miss a fare, and every other fare will be a mission) you end up going on INSANE, funny, deadly, and blood filled missions, no two of them alike. Like running over porta potties until you find the old mayor and run him down.
* HUGE weapon inventory. I don't think I ever came close to using all the weapons in the game. When you outfitted your car, the options were staggering
* So much style. So much style to this game. Nothing was an afterthought. They really put effort in to capturing their world.
* CD Audio! This was, like, a first!
* Great MUSIC. I still listen to the soundtrack.
* So much replay-ability. I was so good at the missions, that I'd blow through the game way to fast. The only way to just casually drive around and pick up fairs was to eject all the plot fares through the roof!
* Silly, unserious, irreverent, and totally fun
The Bad
That it's dead :-(
The Bottom Line
If I could choose only one game in the world, and insist that a gamer with guts play it, it would be this one.

The Good
I loved Quarantime when I played it! Before Carmaggedon hits the stores, this game showed what a mad driver can do. It had a good usage of an early 3-D graphic engine, bits of pretty gore, different missions and a lot of fun. Quarantime (also known by me and some friends as "the mad cab driver game") is a must-play for every action games lover.
The Bad
There isn't too much to say against this game. I could only complaint about some bugs here and there that makes the cab get stuck in some places, or maybe it may take you a while to get used to controls.
The Bottom Line
A great game... you will drive, gunfight and complete different missions while you get out of the city.
DOS · by Emepol (212) · 2012
A fast-paced, maniacal 3d 'driving' game.
The Good
It is very fast paced, and also very gory.. but instead of the usual rip-the-guts-off-a-civilian it's more like maniacal, since you basically drive over every pedestrian you see and put the flamethrower and the sawblade to good use...
The Bad
The game can be a mess sometimes, not only graphically but sometimes the stupid taxicab gets stuck into things and the driving takes some time to learn.
Also the passenger time limits get very annoying in a bit.. and the game, finally, is quite repetitive.
The Bottom Line
A fun 3d shooter disguised into a driving game where you blast the living xxxx out any and everyone you see.
