About this deal

Crazy Taxi is also notable for its soundtrack featuring the bands Bad Religion and The Offspring, who provided all of the tracks for the arcade, Dreamcast, PlayStation 2 and GameCube ports. The game has an RPG feel to the battles, and the abandoned buildings and quiet snow-strewn fields will make any horror fan feel right at home. Here’s the thing, though — you can’t access Dreampipe nor the sites hosted on it through a modern device.

No doubt you’ll be seeing the first Crazy Taxi game somewhere further down our list of the best Dreamcast games of all time, but Crazy Taxi 2 takes a comfortable spot here at Number 32. Crazy Taxi 2 introduced several new features not found in the original, including two new cities, "Around Apple" and "Small Apple", both somewhat based on New York City. So it’s never going to beat titles like Number 2 in our list when it comes to the plot, but it’s a great game where you can enjoy yourself without having to think too much. The arrow does not adjust based on obstacles but rather points in the general direction of the destination.

The arcade version of the game includes one stage, and an additional "Original" stage was added for the console versions. If you’ve played the very first Capcom Vs SNK game, then this is essentially the same with a few choice upgrades for players to make the most of. It’s got a very strong Splinter Cell meets Perfect Dark vibe to it, and to be honest it’s one of the only stealth games on the Dreamcast, so if you’re into your covert operative games, this one should be really high on your list. in New York – where the basic landscape is quite flat – we had to create 3D space by letting the player drive on the buildings" and "we added the Crazy Hop to let the player hop around the roofs of buildings to make short cuts". I've never grew up with the dreamcast or their games, but man, I'm glad they added Crazy Taxi on moible.

Crazy Taxi 2 for Dreamcast - GameFAQs

I used to spend hours just roaming around pulling off tricks in Freeskate, but the multiplayer modes were what made this game so damn exciting. Crazy Taxi producer Kenji Kanno noted that the time extension on gameplay was a breakaway of the current "100 yen for 3 minutes" that persisted at the time for arcade games, and rewarded players with longer playing times by performing well in the game. The storyline is, as you would expect from an RPG, very intricate with lots of hidden twists and turns along the way.You can fight against bots in single player mode while working your way up a tournament ladder, or you can destroy your mates while kicking back with a few beers. Players can choose to compete in a championship trophy contest against three other drivers, test their time skills on a time trial, or play the original arcade mode.

It topped the charts in Japan when it first came out, and it was also the fist Sega release on a Nintendo console in the form of a GBA launch title. Crazy Taxi producer Kenji Kanno noted that the time extension on gameplay was a breakaway of the current "100 yen for three minutes" that persisted at the time for arcade games, and it rewarded players with longer playing times by performing well in the game. You could either take your favourite team through to the final or pick the team that won and try to recreate the action exactly as it happened. The PlayStation 2 version received a "Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), [84] indicating sales of at least 300,000 copies in the United Kingdom. A title named EGG that looks as though it’s popped straight out of the ‘Fantasy Illustrators Handbook’ might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it certainly is a cracking game that deserves a mention in this list.By performing moves such as the "Crazy Hop" and the "Crazy Dash", the driver accumulates tips from their passengers, which increases the total score. If the passenger's countdown strikes zero, they will exit the taxi without paying and the player will be required to look for another fare. It’s a tried and tested method of gaming for next-gen consoles, so why not give this title a go and try one of the games that helped to get online multiplayer gaming off the ground. However, the amount of fun packed into its short life span makes it a worthwhile addition to your library of games".
