Crazy Taxi
June 2010 New GamesYou have to pick up customers that want to get there on time. The color of the circle around the customer is how hard the driving will be when you pick him/her up. There is a time limit not only to the customer, but to how long you can work, or you can gain time whenever you pick up/ drop off a customer. You have the basic controls like accelerate, brake, drive, reverse, etc. However, you also have other fun things in your control, like the crazy drift which is when you slide like a 360 degree turn really fast. There are three modes. Arcade, original, and crazy box. Arcade and original are the same but in different places, and crazy box is challenges for you to do.
The controls for the game are excellent. The button is in the right, comfortable place, and so is everything else. My only complain is that sometimes when you keep doing the "crazy tricks" it can get tiring for your fingers, especially your thumb if you do the turbo-like move. You get used to it though.
The only really bad thing about this game are the graphics. There are a lot of blocky parts, especially the people.At the beginning, they can be really annoying though.
The music, for me anyway, is perfect. They have two of my favorite bands in the game, bad religion and the offspring. That's the soundtrack, and it's awesome. It'll get stuck to your head, you'll catch your self whistling to the tune. It's a really really good choice for a sound track.
There is no story, all you have to do is get money by doing a good job at what you do (crazy taxi driver). However, if the game had a story, it wouldn't be as good. Seriously, the game not having a story makes it perfect for a driving game like this.
This whole game is based upon re playability.I bought these pc games about two years ago, and I still play it every day. It's one of those you play for 5 months skip 1 month play again for 5 months game. I really don't think you'll grow tired of it.
Overall, this game is a game that anyone, and I really mean anyone should have. It's just one of the best classics that was ever made by sega, and it will become a big classic soon. It is a really good game.
