...that they have already released crazy taxi 2 on the dream cast for I don’t know what reason. The other thing is that sometimes people walk through the car. Playability & Enjoyment: The game is very fun with friends or family to see who can last the longest in arcade mode or who can get the best license, or pick up the most customers. The game has a very sunny and bright atmosphere to go around the city, which is very big. There is also ...
...be added to the original crazy box. Once you have completed the entire crazy box you will get the crazy bike. It is very fun because the city is very big to go round in and if you go the wrong way you’ll probably get lost. Addictiveness: The game is very fun and it is hard to stop playing because it is so fun and enjoyable. Once you have mastered the moves you would want to keep on playing again to do better, like trying to master a crazy ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (PS2)

...start at the beginning - Crazy Taxi has been going for yonks - at least a couple of years as a console game - it was first brought out in that medium on the Dreamcast (great console - tragedy and unexplainable that it failed) and I have been a fan since literally day one of that. The premise is very simple - you pick up passengers and drive them to where they want to go (accompanied by the funky strains of Offspring) and they pay you - not exactly ...
...50 seconds to make some crazy money! You get bonus tips for performing crazy manoeuvres - such as the crazy drift (sliding round a corner), the crazy through (travelling dangerously close to other vehicles but managing not to hit them!) and the crazy jump (off slopes, buildings and carefully positioned ramps) - give your passengers an adrenaline rushed thrill and they'll give you loads of cash! You can pick up four different difficulties of passenger: ...

Review of Crazy Taxi (PS2)

Crazy Taxi started off life as an incredibly entertaining and fun arcade game and very little has changed since. It has travelled a long, entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable journey through the charred remains of the Dreamcast before making its presence firmly felt on the PS2. Crazy taxi is a candidate for one of the most inventive games ever but the again it is from Sega the undisputed master of weird but excellent games. Crazy Taxi is at heart ...
...odd very unrealistic twists and Crazy taxi is no exception. You are presented at first with the Sega logo appearing on your PS2, which it has to be said, gives you a rather smug and contented feeling. There are 4 taxis altogether to choose from and although this may not sound like much, the way they drive and handle are genuinely different from each other. The outward appearance of the 4 cab drivers immediately gives you a feel of what is to come ...

Crazy taxi Jump in, this is the craziest game on the dream cast and ps2, pick up priests, cleaners and many more then drop them off at there stop and take there money. Who would of thought you would of got payed more for swerving in front of lorries and cars? The very notion that you get to drive your own cab and make money from it and then your wowed again when you start playing on it. When they gave it the name crazy taxi they weren’t joking! ...
...The third is called crazy box, this is where you do mini games like ten pin bowling and longest jump in your car. Graphics You will be surprised of the great graphics for a game mad a good five years ago, this is because it was made by sega for the arcades. On ps2 its much better with the controls and you don’t have to pay £1 every time you want a go. You get to run around to fully designed cities and pick up real looking people. Sounds ...

Or inside of arcade mode you can also just cruise around for a set time of either 3, 5, or 10 minutes. * PLAY ORIGNAL MODE – Same as arcade, except a different city, slightly harder though. * CRAZY BOX- A series of tasks you have to complete using various skills, you will have to use all your crazy tricks, more on them later.

...along the way (for being crazy of course). The city also closely resembles a real city while maintaining an arcade feel which makes for a great combination. You'll be dodging cars galore, a moving trolley, or even a speeding subway car if you decide to take the subway. Along with the additional dreamcast exclusive city Sega has also added a series of mini games called the crazy box. The games in the crazy box range from dropping off a number of ...

The graphics are top notch as well with well animated cars and buildings. The only downside to the graphics is that a tiny bit of pop up occasionaly creeps in, but you will be having to much fun to even notice it because it is so minor. The game's soundtrack also kicks with tracks from The Offspring and Bad Religion ...

Crazy taxi. Simple old crazy taxi sees one of four drivers zooming around a city trying to make as much money as they possibly can before a repeatedly varying time runs out. Prepare yourself, here comes the review... Graphics: 7 The graphics are superb. Everything is sharp and accurate, the characters and cars move smoothly, and the areas around you are crafted to perfection. The cars each look different, and the various objects on the streets bounce ...
...and there is also a crazy drift, which is basically a sharp turn. Doing these tricks along with dodging traffic earns you tips and therefore extra money. But driving along, pulling off a drift, and relising you got stuck in reverse will make you cry in some of the game. Gameplay: 10 The gameplay is incredible. As well as two maps (although not sounding much, they are so big it is possible to get lost. Believe me.) there is also the ''crazy box'', ...

This is great for all those who played it in the arcades and loved it. In original you play using a specially designed original course which offers a change from the one in arcade mode. Finally you have crazy box mode. This mode is where you fine tune all your taxi driving skills, techniques and tricks through ...

The crazy drift if where you sustain a sliding drift of the cab while turning. And finally the crazy through is where you cut in close to the other vehicles that you pass on the roads without hitting them. If you do a number of these tricks in succession you will get a bigger tip ...

The Origin of Crazy Taxi. Crazy Taxi is a game manufactured by games company Sega (well known for Sonic The Hedgehog back in the early 90’s) Crazy Taxi was originally brought out on the Dreamcast console and as an arcade driving game before the Playstation 2 was available. This was the first place I played it; my cousins had a Dreamcast so when I went to visit I used to spend absolutely hours playing on Crazy Taxi! It is so addictive... even when ...
...more! The Game. Crazy Taxi is a driving game, where you are a cabbie in a busy city and you need to pick up customers and take them to their destination as quickly as you can. There are a number of different ways to play this game, which I will explain, to you in this review. The Packaging. Front Crazy Taxi is hard to miss if you are looking for it on the shelf. It comes in a DVD size box, as do most Playstation 2 games. The cover is a nice ...

...play the arcade, original or crazy box games. You can set a time of 3, 5 or 10 minutes and I generally go for the 10 minutes as I find that this is just the right amount of time to earn quite a nice amount of tips. The pavements are strewn with potential passengers which light up different colours (red, green and yellow) depending on how far their destination and how fast they want to get there. It has some great tracks to drive along to including ...

...made one good decision, bringing Crazy Taxi out on the PS2. In 1995, Sega launched the arcade version of Crazy Taxi, and guess what, it was a huge hit. Who didn’t love no-holds-barred driving and being rewarded for speeding through two lorries with a 70 year old man heading for church in the back? 4 years later, the Dreamcast was launched, and one of its launch titles was Crazy Taxi. That did reasonably well, but then Sega turned to making ...

Sounds: Well, you can’t go wrong with a bit of pre-famous Offspring can you? The game features 4 tracks from their album ‘Smash’, including ‘All I Want’. Gameplay: Well, you are a driver of a taxi, a crazy taxi! You can choose from one of four drivers: Axel, BD Joe, ...

Crazy Taxi This game was a massive hit in the Arcade versions, with its high speed driving and pounding soundtrack. Sega sent it over to Dreamcast and it solt like hot cakes, and it’s a massive hit on PS2. Ok, now the question arises. A taxi game, so what’s the aim of this game. Its simple, your drive a ludicrously fast taxi and make loads of cash as quickly as possible. So in this game Crazy Taxi, you play a cabbie in an accurate but cmic version ...
...you might as, wheres the CRAZY part come into this. Well it’s the traffic laws, pedestrian safety and property damage are all negotiable. Basically the game rewards offensive--rather than defensive--driving, and that's what makes it so compulsively fun… You have the choice of four drivers, and each of them have a certain skill set. The player needs to locate and pick up potential passengers, all of whom are identified by the appearance of a coloured ...
