    Crazy arcade fun

    I had such a blast playing this as a kid in the arcade with my friends. For the most part, we didn't care so much for getting a high score, it was just a blast driving around at high speeds, smashing into things, and hearing people scream as they dove out of the way. It was hysterical!

    The levels were huge, beautifully designed, and based on real cities, like San Franciso, Las Vegas, and New York City. The soundtrack was absolutely banging with rock music from Bad Religion and The Offspring. There was a lot of product placement with destinations like Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Tower Records included, but I didn't mind.

    But if you were a competitive arcade gamer and really wanted to build up a high score, you definitely had to go with Gus due to his superior handling making him the best all-around driver in my book, since this was vital for weaving through traffic smoothly enough, building up Crazy-Through combos and avoiding uneven terrain like stairs and grass as much as you can. Otherwise, if speed is your strong suit, you were better off playing as B. D. Joe. If you just wanted to play for fun, then go with Gena; she had the best lines thanks to Lisle Wilkerson great voice acting.

    2nd game I got for PS2 and it's great!

    This game rocks! This game is very fun, veryyyyyyyy fast, quite exausting at times and generally a great buy! You need skill to play the game, that's a fact,but It's really easy to pick up after a few hours of playing! I've only owned it two days and I'm hooked! It's CRAZY. You can drive under water, jump bridges, weave through traffic and lots more. Also the city is very detailed and looks exactly like San Fransisco, giving a great feel to the game! You simply must get this game. You wont regret it! I didn't!

    8 crazy points out of 10!!!!!!!!!!!!

    One of the Great Action Games Ever Made!

    I remember that I could go at this game for hours at the arcade, in front of my PS2, in front of my PC, and, today, even in front of my Xbox 360 (through XBLA!) The reason why this game can keep me hooked for hours is mainly because once you get into the crazy action, you could only crave for more (which was pretty good unless I was in the arcade spending so much money on it… worth it every time!)

    The great thing about this title is that it's got a pretty huge world that you pretty much speed through. You don't know it because you're rushing to beat the clock of the passenger's needs and the game timer. Everything is so well placed and is great to wreak havoc at while performing your duties! I've played this game so much that I've memorised the map. My main goal is to top any leaderboard out there (except the XBLA overall leaderboards… the top 10 must be so super dedicated, I couldn't possibly compete.)

    The characters, although they are unnamed and are scattered around with some sort of time-shift schedule throughout gameplay, have such interesting personalities that make me laugh every time I trigger their reactions to things. I love wondering why they could possibly be going to the destination they're going, especially some characters with shared character models going to a different destination every time.

    The gameplay is so solid and self-explanatory that anyone could just sit down (at an arcade) or pick up (a controller) and get rolling. I absolutely love how the game just keeps on going and doesn't stay too much the same as the destinations for each character at a specific spot changes dynamically as you play. It just keeps me (and my addiction) going every time and it's just hard to just put down the controller or hop out the arcade seat.

    Overall, this has been my childhood favourite game and still is my favourite game to-date. The huge world, the interesting character personalities and the game components overall mix in so well together to keep me hooked. Every time I play and I expect to play for 30 minutes, I usually begin spending hours on it. That's how great it is and I can confidently say that this is one of the greatest action/driving games ever made!

    Great game with no flaws.

    Crazy Taxi for Sega Dreamcast is a well made game.The obect of the game is to make money by driving people to thier destinations in a taxi cab. The graphis in this game are also very nice and smooth.the Gameplay is completely solid,the controls are comfy and its just plain fun! It has a good amount of replay value(a special taxi cab to unlock)and

    a bunch of mini games to play.Te replay value mostly focuses on the funfactor.Crazy Taxi is guarenteed to be enjoyed by everyone.I give it an 8.9 out of ten.

    FORGOTTEN MASTERPIECE!

    This game is a dadgum masterpiece! It's simple -- you pick up as many passengers as possible and get them to where they need to go in the amount of time you have, all the while listening to some great punk tunes!

    I was never a big Dreamcast fan but I keep one in the closet just for this game... I can't help but break it out every now and again for a few runs. The graphics are dated but somehow feel *right* for this game. The gameplay isn't smooth, but once you learn the ropes you'll find it to be pretty fluid.

    I really miss the days when a game this simple could be console seller, man. All the games that come out nowadays are expected to have a leveling and upgrading system + tons of microtransactions. If this game came out today, it'd probably even have lootboxes. Who needs that crap? This game had everything you needed for a couple hours of mindless fun on a Saturday morning!
