Get Behind The Wheel With London Cabbie

Check out your sense of direction The first thing you have to do in London Cabbie is pick up your client (in cockney London speak they're called "punters") and once he's in, you start trying to control the cab. See how well you drive around London When I first started playing London Cabbie, I wasn't sure what the orange things were so crashed right in to them and the game was over immediately! I soon realized they were those orange road cones, and that they had to be avoided if I wanted to get anywhere in the game! So for my next attempt I was very proud of myself how I turned the wheel to the right and avoided them?but that pride was extremely short lived as I managed to smash straight in to another oncoming car! I certainly wasn't doing very well and it made me wonder if my regular driving skills needed a bit of a refresher course. My husband had always told me I was a lousy driver, and, if London Cabbie was anything to go by, I guess he was right! Nonetheless, I was determined to get past first level, so I ploughed on with more attempts at the game. The next attempt had me try a different route (in an attempt to avoid both the orange traffic cones and the oncoming car). Thinking I was doing well again, I didn't see the pavement! It certainly was getting a bit frustrating. But the more frustrating London Cabbie became, the more determined I became to beat the system! I went back the same way (the right way, so as to not hit the pavement) and it took me quite a few attempts (I won't admit how many) to stop smashing in to the oncoming red car, but when I did the game took on a whole new level of fun. What I really loved about London Cabbie too was the fact that it made me really feel like I was in London ? all Hugh Grant like ? but with a much more cockney, traditional accent. The words and terms used were exactly like I had always imagined those Londoners ? especially those from the East End ? would speak. Plus, I felt that London Cabbie takes on a whole new set of skills and I liked the fact that I had to develop these well before I could move up a level ? it made me determined.
