Gamergeddon: Crazy Taxi Review (PSN)

Crazy Taxi was one of most popular cult classic’s on the SEGA Dreamcast and it featured arcade-style driving and fast-paced gameplay. Developed by SEGA-AM3, Crazy Taxi is now landing on the PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade in HD glory. Does it still hold a spark in your heart, or how will you feel coming into the series for the first time? Let’s see.

You can get Intelligent Qube (Kurushi) on the EU playstation store.
Also It's not a sega game. It was created and published by sony.

I think the author means play for hours non stop. If you read the second sentence it says its meant to be played in shorter bursts. I would agree with this, I would play the Dreamcast version for 30 minutes then get bored, then either let someone else play or return to it the next day, much the same as when I play Outrun.

Aye. Many a quarters were sacrificed at its altar.

Graphics were eyeball-popping too.

I 1st played it in 2001 on PS2 and 1st it was fun but then it got boring due to no multiplayer and repetive single player or whatever that was.

Played the PSP version which featured both Crazy Taxi 1/2 and same results. Fun for awhile then gets boring.

$10 is to much. They should added online mode or somthing.

[Ducky]

I agree. Having an actual player control the NPC riding the car would make this game immensely more enjoyable.

I read it as Carmaggedon at first look. What a game it was.

So the game does not have its origional soundtrack and of course some of the branded shops like KFC and Fila had to be removed.

But the bottom line____________ is that IGN's review was a JOKE, they gave a 10 year old game which now has HD graphics may i add a 6/10, they slated the graphics, they slated the music ect ect.

Note to IGN........ it has improved graphics over the origional, score the game on merit, don't score it assuming the graphics could compete with somthing like Gran Turismo grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Sure, the origional soundtrack is a loss, but the gameplay for somthing like Crazy Taxi is TIMELESS.

I like this review, they took in to account that this game is retro and NOT a big budget brand new release.

I thoroughly enjoyed this on my beloved Dreamcast and i will no doubt thoroughly enjoy this re-release.

I'll be getting it day 1, screw you IGN.
