Arcade Mode* **************** Modes -Arcade Rules: Follows the rules of the arcade version, where you must pick people up and drop them off to gain extra time. -Drive For 3 Minutes: Lets you drive around the city for 3 minutes at your own pace. Also lets you pick people up. -Drive For 5 Minutes: The same as above only this time you can drive for 5 minutes. -Drive For 10 Minutes: Same as the other 2 but you can drive for 10 minutes. This level is the same as the Arcade. Many people feel that this level is put together better than the original one. I feel they're both fun.
