An arcade game with just a single style of gameplay which is picking up passengers and dropping them off at different spots in two open world cities. The game's premises might seem very simple, but it still manages to make a very memorable experience with its vibrant colors, wacky collision physics, punk rock soundtrack and just an overall chaotic fun vibe.
The game has two modes called original and arcade. Arcade contains the city that was featured on the arcade version of the game and original contains the city featured in the later ported version of the game. Both cities look exactly the same, it's just that the layout is a bit different and maybe a few landmarks like train stations and waterways.
The game has bright colorful punk energy. The punk rock soundtrack by Bad Religion and Offspring probably makes it so. Along with the stereotypical passengers/drivers and absolutely fun car collisions that don't do any damage. Overall, this game is very fun, there's no story mode or campaign it's just 5-10 minutes of fun at a time but the game has a solid theme and personality.

Crazy Taxi is a blast from the past, delivering an adrenaline-fueled dose of arcade madness. Its core concept is simple: pick up passengers and deliver them to their destinations as quickly and recklessly as possible. Crazy Taxi thrives on its chaotic energy, vibrant visuals, and catchy soundtrack. While the limited maps and repetitive gameplay can wear thin over extended sessions, it's perfect for short bursts of frantic driving fun with a focus on high scores and mastering its over-the-top techniques.

Crazy Taxi is the most clunky game with cabs that you will see in your life, extremely fun and very moddable.

Gameplay
A time limit gameplay influenced by the player that needs to take as many taxi rides as possible, by selecting a character from 4 selections such as axel,joe,gena and gus. This game will make you hate the traffic as much like a real driver but here you are being indicated on where to go and stop the brake, I'm not a big sega fan and never was but some of their games are fun like this one, you also have variety between gameplay modes like original and arcade that also let's you select the amount of time you want to take, also you can modify the difficulty of the in the menus which is pretty good.

Conclusion
If you want a clunky game but very fun involving cars you can try this one, I also modded the game with a ADX encoder to modify the tracklist so it is pretty moddable in terms of music but never got around the models or anything like that.
