soundtrack. Sega ported it over to the Dreamcast
where it sold by the bucket load, and now it's
available for the PS2. And it's superb. The aim of
the game is simple: drive a ludicrously fast taxi
and make oodles of cash as quickly as
possible.Taking one of four drivers, each with
their own skill set, the player needs to locate
and pick up potential passengers, all of whom are
identified by the appearance of a coloured dollar
symbol above their head. From that point on it's a
race against time through crowded streets to get
the passenger to their destination while picking
up healthy tips for speed on the way. Tips can be
increased through the execution of stupidly
dangerous stunts and the cunning use of the short
cuts and back alleys the game offers.There are
three major modes of play, offering the cityscape
of the arcade original, a world created especially
for the console versions of the game, and the
oddly named Crazy Box mode, which sets a number of
challenges ranging from high-speed ski-jumps to
water balloon popping--an interesting if slightly
unusual addition.Graphically,Crazy Taxiis a treat.
Big, bold vehicles fairly rocket around the
streets of the sprawling city, which has
environments ranging from shopping malls to
freeways and beaches. Everything shifts along at a
fairly steady 60 fps and the only gripe is the
pop-up at long distance, which is irritating but
doesn't ultimately doesn't affect gameplay. Sound
is excellent, with some thumping skate-punk tunes
provided by the Offspring and friends and comedy
backchat from the cab drivers and their
passengers. Prolonged play may take the edge off
this hilarity, but only time will tell.What's
sadly missing is any kind of multi-player
facility.Crazy Taxiis strictly single player. This
isn't really an issue (especially after closing
time when the living room's packed with
prospective Travis Bickles all patiently waiting a
turn), but the ability for a two player Vs mode
would have been the icing on the cake.This game
certainly isn't aGran Turismoor aFormula 1 2001.
There's not even a hint of simulation and the real
world never gets a look-in. Instead, this is pure,
blissful arcade entertainment.

Hop In My Cab

Advantages: Great fun, looks amazing, better than the first.
Disadvantages: After a few months interest will fade

...going to be anything like Crazy Taxi 2, then PRAISE BE!!!

SEGA has always made great consoles, and stunning games to go on them, now they can really concentrate on the games, and Crazy Taxi 2 seems to be the way they are heading.

If you don’t know, Crazy Taxi is pretty obviously the follow up to Crazy Taxi. That was originally an arcade game ported to Dreamcast, and more recently to Playstation 2. It was massively ...
...it” formula, SEGA has made Crazy Taxi 2 a masterpiece of a fun game. It is better than its predecessor in every way, and that can only be a good thing. The aim remains to bomb round the cities (New York this time) and get as much cash as you can.

However there have been one or two little changes that do make it significantly different from Crazy taxi 1. A new move has been added, and the bonus challenges section has been totally ... more

Advantages: Great graphics and fun gameplay

...doesn?t sound too appealing, but Crazy Taxi 2 proves everyone wrong. Crazy Taxi 1 was a great success and has been converted to PS2 and Gamecube to prove it. If Crazy Taxi 2 lived up to its older brother, then it would be a good a game as any on the Dreamcast. Crazy Taxi 2 has an improved game structure, meaning that it doesn?t let you play the arcade modes until you have completed key parts of the training. CRAZY PYRAMID This is the training zone ...
...33 customers in 6minutes. Crazy Pyramid is very challenging later on but top class entertainment throughout, with great gameplay and lastability. SMALL APPLE Small apple is the first arcade mode that you win. This is a small-scale city, which is slightly easier than usual. The Small Apple is there mainly to prepare you for the next episode. However, this is still a very exciting, fast level. The graphics are beautifully rounded and extremely realistic. ...

Crazy Taxi 2 Is Great

Advantages: very fun, new levels
Disadvantages: none

...extremely fun? I think not. Crazy Taxi 2 is the sequel to an acclaimed title which was one of the star releases for the Dreamcast, by Sega. Both Crazy Taxi and Crazy Taxi 2(CT&CT2 from now on) are made by Sega and both feature highly addictive and enjoyable gameplay, and yes, your mother won't mind. What truly separates these two titles? Read on to find out. CT2 differs from CT in only a few areas when it comes to gameplay. The most noticeable part ...
...Pyramid is just like the Crazy Box from the original CT. In which you would play special games, like driving passengers to a place in under 2 minutes, etc. In Crazy Pyramid, the same thing is in place, the main difference is the addition of 5 tiers of events. Each level gets harder and each tier unlocks another feature. If you do beat the Cray Pyramid you can play as the original game's drivers. When it comes down to the heart of the game, they are ...

Crazy taxi is back.

Advantages: Cool graphics, funny modes, Crazy!
Disadvantages: might be short lived.

...me. But then that isn’t crazy taxi, the funniest driving game ever. Instead of just being exactly what I said before crazy taxi lets you do so much more. But this is the sequel, with more fun, craziness and above all addictiveness. What makes Crazy taxi 2 so different from the first mouth-watering game is the way they realized what was wrong and how they added new things to make it a whole new experience. What made the old game special? What ...
...new manoeuvre that is the crazy hop, where you leap off of the ground and go flying over the traffic, which gets you a big tip. The downside is that you cannot control the cab in mid air and you might hit the walls on many occasions. The best change is probably the way you can now pick up groups of people as well as individuals, which is great fun. Picking up a group of mime artists or Cheerleaders is very amusing indeed. You get quite a big amount ...

crazy game

Advantages: graphics and sound what more could you want
Disadvantages: i cant see any

Everyone loves Crazy Taxi. It was the best selling game last year than anything else on the Dreamcast. The first had it all graphics, tunes, gameplay and now that the sequal is out it is time to start saving your money to buy Crazy Taxi 2. A good thing for all those hard to learn game people is that Crazy Taxi 2 has just the same controls as the last game. Everything from the last game has been included in the new one. Crazy Dashes, Crazy Drifts ...
...in it like instead of Crazy San Francisco it is Crazy New York. New York has been split up into two maps which are called Around apple (being the bigger map) and small apple (being the smaller map.) The former is on a larger scale than the latter, basically, with outlying suburbs of the city to visit, and even a bridge over the Hudson river. The latter is a more concentrated take on the middle of the town, with the world famous Central Park and the ...

Advantages: Fast. Entertaining in groups.
Disadvantages: Not much difference from the first

...if they are entertaining. However Crazy Taxi 2 is such an accurate port from arcade to Dreamcast that ot has turned into a heap of frustrating rubbish.Each game lat far too short a time which although ok in an arcade (Money grabbing) is not very entertaining. If you own the first Crazy Taxi then keep your money in your pocket and avoid this game. The game consist of driving round a large city picking up passangers in your taxi and taking them to ...

300 pounds hey HMMM

Advantages: The latest Technology....Wow!
Disadvantages: Games, Problems, cost, being a poor student!

The playstation 2 has been one of the most powerful games machine to ever be let loose on the consumer market, However you may be asking is it worth it? Well personnally at the moment I wouldn't buy one, I got one of the first playstation's ones and had to watch the price fall sharply month after month, sure it felt great having a brand spanking new playstation when your mates didn't, But it soon wore thin when you took a look at what titles where avilable, same applies for the playstation 2. There's no machine like it for sure, but why buy a 300 pound machine when at the end of day the games are rubbish. The games problem will however lift, with Sega ditching the dreamcast and making games for the playstation 2, quality games like crazy taxi and maybe even sonic. The playstation 2 does have a dvd player, however there are many problems ...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

Not worth it only living on the hype of the PS

Advantages: DVD drive but thats about it
Disadvantages: Costs too much

. The machine looks rather tacky as well but it is ment to have good graphics and i have to say that yes the graphics are good but i have seen better. I saw screenshots for Crazy Taxy, a rather excelent SEGA game, and all i could think was that it looked much much worse than the Dreamcast version, people say that the Dreamcast is finished but it should be tha PS2 that is finished unless it can bring out some new games of its own that are as good as the ones that SEGA can make. If you do want to go online with a console you can buy this one and wait for the internet connection to be brought out with it or you can get a Dreamcast the chioce is yours. There should be some good games comming out on PS2 soon and these are Crazy Taxy and Half-life (a must get on any platform). In finishing if you like to play games then i would surgest go ...

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

long term racing

Advantages: nice cars, nice tracks, long term gameplay.
Disadvantages: need to rely a lot on picking up boosts.

I think this game is up there with v-rally2 and crazy taxi, as one of the best racers on the Dreamcast. This game will take ages to get all the cars(over 60 in all). There is also 24 detailed tracks with weather. Good handling, but not as good as Colin Mcrae. 2 player mode is a fast 60 frames per second. On championship mode You can customise your 4 wheel car or truck by winning money as you race. This game is fun, it has got monster trucks, quads, buggies, jeeps and an assortment of toy cars.Buy this game yesterday, you won't be disappointed. ...
