Crazy Taxi

Crazy Taxi is a brilliant looking game. From the highly detailed and realistic roads and buildings to the nice looking cars. The graphics play a huge part in making the two cities featured in this game look and feel alive. There are also added effects like sparks flying out of your car which add to the graphics. The game also runs at a very impressive 60 FPS. In fact, it's very hard to tell any differences in terms of graphics to it's Naomi board Arcade brother. There is also occasional Slowdown, which happens to be unusual considering the fact that it happens when there isn't a high number of polygons flooding the screen. Both of these problems are far more frequent in the Dreamcast city. But they are only minor nuances and won't leave you feeling a little frustrated.

To say that there is a lot to come back for would be a lie. There is only ONE thing to come back for, and that is the fun. There is added Crazy Box mode which gives you missions to do and is a bit like a training mode, but you won't be coming back just for that. You'll be coming back for the incredible amount of fun that this game offers. The exclusive Dreamcast city that has been added to the home version of the game also highly ups the replay value.

All in all, Crazy Taxi is one of the most addictive games ever made.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

This game is excellent as it looks, feels, and sounds like a really exhillarating mad drive around the city as you pick up passengers, get them to their destination in the shortest time possible using whatever means necessary, such as bending the traffic rules, smashing through cafes, boxes and wreaking havoc in parks, and drop the passenger off and receive your fare and perhaps some bonus tip. Crazy Taxi is pretty crude and weird as weel, such as when a passenger(specifically an old granny)gets impatient in the cab, says:" Oh, you lousy driver, you suck!", and jump out of the cab while the cab is still moving at high speeds. But on the overall, its really hilarious and fun to play. If you own a Dreamcast and love crazy action, get the game now.
