Review: GabCab

Type: Time Management
Platform: PC
Price: USD 6.99 from Big Fish Games

The cars in GabCab have faces like Thomas the Tank Engine and Jay Jay the Jet Plane. Although this game feels specifically marketed for young children, the cute cartoony graphics will appeal to the young and old.

Gameplay
Gameplay is easy, just pick up customers and bring them to their destination. There is not even any need to plan the route as the game will automatically choose the best route. When a customer gets to his destination, he will throw coins into the air and the player can catch them by moving the mouse over them. The money earned can be used to buy powerups or upgrades.

Thoughts
I find the game easy to play, so easy in fact, that it felt like a kid's game. The difficulty increased a bit as the game progresses but overall it still was easy to clear the stages. The automatic route planner works well, only on a handful of occasions do I need to manually override it. The graphics are big and cute and the sounds felt cheerful. I think kids will have fun playing this game. For older players, it might not hold much of a challenge.

Verdict ★★★
