Quoted from mof:

The games are even in my book overall with an edge to Taxi.
Here's why:
* Action per Minute: Taxi (it has more nudging)
* Inlane Flow: Taxi (WW's are not fun)
* Outlane Fun (nudge-ability): Taxi (WW's are not fun)
* Pops that help or harm: Taxi (WW's are poop and hold up the game)
* Stop N Go: Taxi by a mile
* Taunting: Taxi (hey taxi!)
* Less Blinding light shows: Taxi (WW's are really distracting)
-
* Skill Shot: Whirlwind (best of all time, imo)
* Toys/Gimmicks: Whirlwind
* Spinner(s): Whirlwind
* Sweepable Drops: Whirlwind (one of the only ones that can be swept by 2 flippers)
* Sound choreography: Whirlwind
