Crazy Taxi- To like or not to like...that is a good question!

by  killerchild420,   Dec 24, 2003

Pros:  Different spin on driving games

Cons:  A poor use of new design

The Bottom Line:  I would play this game and master the skills, but check out the crazy box mode before you take it out of the cube.

My Summary
I got this game as a birthday present and was very excited... I had never heard of Crazy Taxi before, however I now know that it has been around quite some time.
The main idea of the game is to pick up customers and drop them off at their destination within the time limit. Pretty easy idea. I loved this game when i got it and i got pretty good at it, however, after some time I just didn't want to play anymore.

Music
I am not an expert on gamecube games or anything but i understand, annoying. The music is okay. It keeps the game moving but all the other noises through the game get very annoying, very quickly. The customers... oh the customers, they make you want to get them there as fast as possible just so they get out of your car! They tell you to hurry and go.. when you are at their destination. I force myself to listen to the customers just so i can listen to the music. It could be better.

Graphics
Again, I am not the expert but these graphics really aren't up to date. Cars appear out of nowhere and you bounce off of other cars. There is no reality.

Levels/ Drivers
There are 2 cities.. one for arcade mode and the other for original mode. Other people on this site have said that the cities are HUGE... however, I do not see the huge size. Yes they are big and spread out but HUGE just seems too much. The drivers... there are 4. Axel who is a hot headed teenage like driver; B.D. Joe who is a very smiley driver; Gena, the only girl and Gus, the hot headed older man. The drivers get old and their voices even more so

Maybe Some Good Things...
Crazy Box... The mini games and challenges. Some are easy and others are not... they keep Crazy Taxi in the gamecube.
