Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

...know the basic idea of crazy taxi is to pick up and drop people off. It may sound a bit boring at first but once you have played it you will agree it is great. As there are no rules you can drive on the wrong side of the road, do big skids and get big air. The freedom of the game is amazing. You do what you want when you want. In the game there are four different cab drivers to choose from. They each have their on individual cab. Each cab is good ...
...in the dreamcast version of crazy taxi, the arcade version and the original version(I personally prefer the arcade). Anyway, Both levels are incredible dense. There are loads of people hanging around waiting to be picked up. As said previously there are plenty of places where you can get some big air. You shouldn’t have any problems navigating the levels you just have to go where the customer wants to go. Before you start playing the game you ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

I first played Crazy Taxi on my brothers Dream Cast, and after hearing mixed reviews, I was pleasanltly surprised when I first started playing. The presentation of the game was top notch with crisp graphics, cool voice overs from a manic american and a funky sound track with songs from The Offspring and alike. The game has many different play modes. The idea of the game is drive your taxi round two cities picking up customers and delivering them ...
...Store, Tower Records or Kentucky Fried Chicken! The quicker you do it the more points you get. The different play modes include the arcade mode which is you have a time limit and every tme a customer is delivered the time limit is extended. The game mode is where you have a certain time limit which you can choose to make as much CRAAZZZYYYYY money as possible. Depending on how much money you make, you are given a grade to show how well you have done. ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

I first played crazy taxi at a freinds house. We were just sittin there wondering what to do with ourselves, and he all of a sudden, just came up with the idea of playing this game. "OK", said I. So we did. We then played some more, and some more and some more. "Why didn't you mention you had this earlier you foolish boy??" I said. Anyway, the games addictiveness had really got hold of the both of us. The idea of the game is very simple, but because ...
...This is where the CRAZY taxi comes from. If you just trundled along the roads, you'd get nowhere. Cross country maniac driving is whats needed. No matter whats there, you have to get by, under, through it, just so that you can keep the customers happy. You must pick customers up by stopping within a certain distance from them. There are obviously hundreds of people in the 2 cities within the game. Your customers however will be highlighted, so there ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

WARNING!! THIS IS A HIGHLY INFECTIOUS AND ADDICTIVE GAME!! A friend of mine introduced me to this game about a year ago. I have to say it is the best driving game I have ever played. The idea of the game is to pick up customers (circled with red, orange, yellow or green on the screen - the green pay the most money, the red pay the least) and take them to their destination as quickly as possible, by any means. Don't worry - it is impossible to run ...
...the motorway, it is advisable to drive on the wrong side, against the traffic(!?). If you are careful you should be able to drive straight between the to lanes. The idea of this is to make more money. You should drive past other vehicles as close as possible without touching them - this means the customer will pay more. There are also various jumps to earn money. On the arcade mode, extra money and time is given when you reach the customers destination ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

Crazy Taxi is a really original game. It was spawned in the arcades a few years back, and I only ever played it once. But such was the originality and fun of that one go that it stuck in my head as a game I wanted to play again. So when the inevitable (it was a SEGA arcade game) Dreamcast release came about I was very excited. I got it not long after I got my Dreamcast and I was amazed. If you’re not sure, Crazy Taxi is a driving game where ...
...important thing about any game, Crazy Taxi’s Gameplay is sumptuous. The smoothness of the car handling and the way it takes the roads is excellent. It clearly hasn’t had the thought put into handling and car design of a game like Metropolis Street Racer for example, but this isn’t a driving sim, it’s an out and out arcade game. The emphasis is on fun, fast furious fun. The game is split between 2 cities, both fictional but ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

...thing that strikes you about crazy taxi is that there is so much going on around you. AI controled cars and trucks go about like they normally would, stopping at junctions and turns. However, this doesn't mean you have to abide by the law! The general idea of Crazy Taxi is to pick up passengers and take them to their destination. More fun is gained by driving off-road trying to find the shortest and quickest route to your customer's stop and thus ...
...up trumps, by including the crazy box challenge. This contains 16 mini-challenges, some of which are incredibly hard especially 3-S where youhave to drop off 7 grannies at small stops by the waters edge! Anyway i'm going to play more crazy taxi now, so just remember to buy this game next time you go out shopping. ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

Summer 2000: Crazy Taxi is unleashed on DC, one of the first games on the console that truly screamed out " Buy me, you iditot, Buy me". It left many a non-DC owner greener with jealousy than a toad's butt. Sure, DC games had been hot before, but nothing compared to this, explosion of color, mullet rock and raw, adrenaline-pumping gameplay that was Crazy Taxi. A year has passed since then, a year that has dragged for those Sony stalwarts holding ...
...questions raise themselves: is Acclaim's Crazy Taxi still the supremely playable chunk of motor madness it once was, and how does the PS2 version compare to Sega's own home version? Fare-grabbing in these sun-drenched streets is no place for shrinking violets. Thus, Crazy Taxi features an impressive rosta of brazen, attention-grabbing cabbies, loaded with enough sickeningly exaggerated personality between them to fill the Big brother house. Or Jamie ...

bought it, went home, played it, enjoyed it for a couple of weeks, did something else. this is truly what happened. after about a week i had my own route that i could not get out of, for some reason i just kept going the same way every time. it has happened to others. i would strongly suggest renting this game first, it would save a lot of money or you could have a few goes in the arcade. it was enjoyable the first week, repetative the second. overall ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

...there's loads more - the crazy box mode in particular keeps you going back long beyond the point you really should have got bored with things. The music too is not to everyone's taste, but given the ambience of the cars and drivers, it fits in with proceedings perfectly. If there's one complaint, it's that there's no multiplayer mode, which could have really given it an edge, but otherwise, it's as good a port as you're likely to see on any platform. ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

Crazy Taxi is a very enjoyable game which doesn't require any brain power and is very easy to play. The basic idea is that you pick up people and drop them off at their destination, the more dangerously you drive the more the bonuses rack up; have a crash and the bonuses start back at the beginning! There are many different modes to play to keep you interested, such as challenges against time, and jumps. The normal game is exciting too, with a soundtrack ...

This is a game taken from an arcade game and it is not just a perfect conversion but indeed an improvement on its arcade roots. The graphics offer an alpha blended quality not seen in the arcade version and the gamplay remains intact and true to the original. the extras at longitivity to an already engrosing game and thes come in the form of an extra city and training exorcises. the music is suitiable and could be typical radio music as the offspring ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

Crazy Taxi is easily one of my favorite games I have ever played(and I've played alot of them). The graphics are amazing, the sound track is great, and the concept of the game all add to why I like this game so much. It was a nice change to see a game where you can drive around and not blow everything to hell. I thought it was an interesting concept to be a taxi driver and take people to their location without having you blast enemies and level an ...
...of the fun. It's called CRAZY Taxi for a reason. The graphics were pretty damn good if you ask me. The people look good and so does the enviroment. The sound is one of the best parts of the game. You got Offspring and Bad Religion playing the tracks what more could you want. The only problem here is there is like four songs that keep getting repeated over and over which can get a little annoying, but that can be overlooked. I really like the voices ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (Dreamcast)

This game is very cool! I love car games, and this comes straight from the arcades. The graphics are fantastic (not unusual for Dreamcast) but the screenplay is very smooth and driving the car itself is great fun. The idea is to drive around a very detailed city area picking up as many passengers as possible, getting them to their destinations in as quicker time as possible and earning as much money as possible! You can drive like a maniac without ...
