I have only glowing feedback to share for Crazy Taxi, it's the arcade game of all arcade racers. The action is so out of control that I wasn't able to play for more than 30 mins straight without getting blurry vision and a headache – it was a good headache though mind you, I kept coming back for more. You can choose stints of 5, 10 or 15 mins during which you to deliver zany passengers in crazy traffic to their preferred destinations. The faster you drive and the more wacky combos you accomplish in your taxi, the more money your passengers will give you and the more "crazy" bonus points you will accumulate. The fun factor of this title is out of the ballpark, it's a super addictive game that will keep pushing you to improve your best score and continually lure you back in (just one more time and then I go to bed – I swear…). The controls are awesome – your taxi will purr like a kitten in your hands. You can throw the realism out of the window, but this is what's the most fun about CT. The navigational controls are superb – the green/red/yellow arrow pointing to your destination on top of the screen has practically become the standard of the industry since. The music is outstanding; it literally pounds the sense of urgency in your brain and the different pitched tempo when you begin to run out of time only adds to the marvelous sound effects that Crazy Taxi boasts. On the negative side, the game doesn't have any storyline to speak of. The gameplay is shallow , there is a definite scarcity of cities to drive in (just one) and characters to play with (just three). CT is only a one person affair, and while it's always fun to sit by and watch your buddy play, it would have been ultra cool to race against each other for the same customers. The lack of different maps to drive in makes it very easy to memorize the game so after you've played CT for a while it becomes a mechanical exercise moreso than a fresh exploration. Despite all of the above shortfalls, Crazy Taxi is a hoot – a good old veteran to remind us of the golden days of the arcade.
Acclaim's conversion of Crazy Taxi can be called as how you see it. As a direct port of Sega's famous arcade title of the same name you play as a cabbie roaming the streets of San Francisco. It was originally a Dreamcast... Read Full Review
