Very fun and addicting and it works very well as an arcade game. However, I do wish a proper type of Story Mode was added to the console releases — this could have greatly benefited from proper levels and more maps. As it is, this game is interesting, controls amazingly and has great dialogue, but it's not worth fighting with my Dreamcast's dying laser over. Missed potential, unfortunately.
É Crazy Taxi, e é o melhor no que se propõe.
É rápido, frenético, delirante e até intuitivo (apesar de ter uma fodenda seta PATENTEADA te dizendo pra onde ir) e tem o dom de ter uma trilha sonora icônica em cada versão sua.
Você até pode se frustrar com o jogo ao ponto de se irritar, mas eventualmente ele vai te lembrar de não leva-lo muito á sério e que às vezes você só tem que se divertir.
It's just a ride, man

"Crazy Taxi" is set in an alternate timeline where the gig economy has ushered in a utopian society, shortly before the arrival of the 21st century.
Established corporations like Pizza Hut and Levi's are still thriving. Yet counterculture artists like The Offspring & Bad Religion are seeing mainstream success. And there have been zero vehicular injuries reported despite the newly relaxed traffic laws.

It's undeniably an arcade-first game, but Sega was really cooking when it came to car games. At first playthrough you might get by with only 3 or 4 passengers, but slowly you learn how to drift, dash and stop effectively, and it's strangely engrossing. Soon you're dashing between traffic, drifting through corners, and finishing with an S rank and a new high-score.
Never played this as a kid, but if I did I think I would've been obsessed with it. With no nostalgia or attachment to the original before playing, I still loved it enough to 100% it and try to perfect all of the mechanics.
The mediocre PC port aside (with a neutered soundtrack no less, don't forget to mod that shit back in immediately for the full experience), I still think Crazy Taxi is something everyone should try if they're given the chance. The controls feel very awkward at first and take some getting used to, but once you learn the timing of everything it really starts to click.
I'll definitely have to track down an arcade version to try at some point. I have a feeling that'll be the definitive way to play.
