A bit late i know, sorry.
Common lets make sommmmeeee CRAZZZYYY Money!
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Crazy Taxi has to be the game that made people buy a dreamcast. Id never heard of it before it came out, saw it in arcades but never really paid any attention to it, then saw the previews, was interested but didnt know much about it. The DC mags raved and raved about it so i got it on launch day. And wow, what a great game.
The intro really draws you in, say what you like about Offspring, but their music fits in perfectly with this game. The way the car and camera are timed in with the music, the bright world, lots of people jumping about. It really does look great and makes you want to play it.
The graphics and bright, big and colourful, and full of memorable locations such as the church, the first station, the airport and all the sponsored shops 'Can you take me to the KFC!'. The Taxis are big and brash and have their own identity, the characters and full of personality from the fat guys who always want to go to the football stadium to the priest who goes to the church.
The sound is great too, i love the music, my sort of thing i guess but it really does fit in with the game and make you want to speed it as you jump over hills and cars and smash through objects which scatter the streets. The little catch phrases each person has are still funny even today, the priest always makes me smile telling me to slow down.
Theres only two levels but they are huge! The dreamcast only level is not as good at first as the original arcade one, but once you know the routes it does have a lot more too it, like driving under water or jumping across the bridge.
The handerling is nice and twitchy too, pulling off boosts is easy and is needed. Lots of practise can be gained in the Crazy box mode, a great party mode if ever there was one. Its a shame after this Sega lost their magic on the Crazy taxi franchise, but this is still one top notch game, even though its an arcade game, you can play it for hours on end.
