HEY HEY HAVE SOME FUN WITH CRAAAAAZY TAXI ARE YA READY HERE WE GO
Absolutely insane that I took so long to actually get through the Crazy Box in this game since I've had this game for as long as I've had a dreamcast itself, and I've played the arcade mode both at home and on the real machine an innumerable amount of times by now. Needless to say, this game is a banger. Though it's certainly a bit of an anomaly in the driving game genre as nothing before or after really controls exactly like this game. There's a lot of hidden techniques that the game either doesn't or barely explains and mastering those techniques is KEY to actually being half decent at this game. It doesn't really help that the timing for shifting gears and hitting the gas to do the various techniques is strict and the game doesn't really give you a lot of feedback on whether or not you are even doing it right in the first place. The Crazy Box really could just be considered a set of tutorial challenges as each challenge is designed around learning and mastering said tech. Considering the game doesn't do a good job explaining how to actually master its rather unconventional control scheme, it's no wonder that the crazy box has a bit of an infamous reputation as being impossibly difficult... But once you get the hang of it the third eye opens and this game REALLY gets crazy.
What's cool is even despite the weird control scheme this game is still a blast to play even if you have no idea how to do a crazy dash or crazy drift, there's just something inherently fun about barreling through a city with no regard to any traffic laws getting your passengers from point A to B as quickly as possible, and the colorful visuals and legendary licensed OST make it a game that I have rather consistently come back to for well over the past 10 years. It's fun, it's deep, it's pretty much the hallmark of a fantastic arcade game.
play any version of the game with the actual licensed music or don't bother at all.

"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.

Was too crazy. Had to send it to the asylum
Good for quick sessions, gets old pretty fast. But when you haven't played it in awhile it's just as good as the first time.
A must have on dreamcast, just stupid fun
This game goes so fucking hard dude, I fucking love crazy taxi.
Played this on PC 100% in less than 5 hours and definitely one of my favorites, and makes me want to buy a Dreamcast.
teach kids how to drive responsibly
I played this game at the cybercafe in my home town in mexico except it had a different song instead of the usual The Offspring song that plays, the version i played was literally lost media cuz some of the songs that were on that were bangers
The video game to tell your friends why you don't drive.
if you own a dreamcast,you must try CRAZY TAXI,it"s so GOOD
Insanely addictive to the point that I'm sure they put crack in it.
Hey, hey, hey! It's time to make some craaaaazy money! Are ya ready?
I had a lot of fun playing this game back in the year 2000 but even then it didn't hold my attention for as long as games like Soul Calibur and Jet Grind Radio. I loved being able to zoom around the streets of San Francisco in a car before I had my drivers license. These days if I feel like driving a car around like crazy I will have more fun doing it in single player GTA V.
I need the arcade soundtrack on the PC version please and thank you
You really shouldn’t take for granted the confidence and charisma in even the most average of games. There’s really not a lot in Crazy Taxi, but what there is, is put there with love and care.
Unbelievably fun, some of the dumbest thrills I've ever had. I see myself booting this game up for easy laughs and good fun for years
This Taxi's gettin crazy, let's rock
I remember playing the FUCK out of this on mobile a couple of years ago and yeah, I can see why. It's really fun to play in short bursts if you're bored as fuck lol
This is the most stressful experience I've had plowing through civilians to the nearest KFC
A última vez que foi tão bom ser táxi foi no GTA Vice City
It's a great game to play when you're bored and have free time. The music and physics in the game are surprisingly good for its time, which is a plus. The main goal is to pick up people in your taxi and get them where they need to be in a short time. Then based on how fast you got them there, they will pay you a higher price or a lower price or somewhere in the middle. You repeat this until the timer in the top hits 0 and based on how much money you make you get a rank. There is also another game mode called crazy box which is like a bunch of minigames. It's a great arcade game that I recommend to anybody.
Tried and true. The OG oozing with oodles of charm in its characters, licensed music tracks, and product placement. Don't fuck up the 4th Sega!
I remember my friend had this game with a cool hybrid/steering wheel controller and his mom was trying to play. Getting d and e ranks every time. I picked it up, s rank immediately. She then got mad why I was so good. Bitch I’m a gamer, what’d you expect?
Fun in short bursts but not a lot of lasting appeal (like with most arcade games).
The ideal driving game - probably explains why I sunk so many hours into Simpsons Road Rage as a kid.
YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH
pretty solid arcade fun. i enjoyed my time with it even for how basic it is.
Pure nostalgia! One of the games of my childhood, but with more game modes! I remember getting this game for free on a cereal box (I think it was either from Chocapic or Nesquik). The game never lost its charm, it is still insane and fun as always. The soundtrack changed for some reason, the version I had had other songs, and the voice acting of some clients also changed, but still, this game remains with its nostalgic essence.
