What makes a good shooting game? Usually satisfying hit feedback, ammunition or cooldown management and waves or levels that build up — and Drive Taxi has each of them in some measure.

Tips and tricks
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Sound tells you where an enemy is before you can see it. Headphones help more than you would expect.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
