    Crazy Taxi is Crazy Fun.

    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.

    Craxy Taxi indeed

    I pick up Crazy Taxi on the PlayStation 2 while it was originally out for the Arcade and Sega Dreamcast you can also pick it up on the Nintendo GameCube.

    But no matter what system you pick up Crazy Taxi you will be having quite the experience unlike any game you have played before.

    It just going to take some time to get a hold of because the game is just crazy no pun intended.

    The graphics the background are good and gives you the feeling of being in a real world as you play along with the character models being believable The sound effects are a huge selling point for the game with a good soundtrack and the character voices are pretty entertaining.

    The controls take time to get use as you are in for a fast and furious game that holds nothing back as you play. The Game play is where the game gets it selling point for it original idea for a game which is rare to see but it is a creative way to get players to play your game.

    I give Crazy Taxi an 7 out of 10

    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!

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

    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.
