Crazy Taxi (PS2)

I’ll be honest here; I don’t think I’ve ever played a port in my life. In case you didn’t know, ports are when developers move games from one console to another without changing too much. I hate ports, at least after playing Crazy Taxi on the PS2. This is a lazy port. The graphics look like the Dreamcast version and there’s not a whole lot of new content as well. Plus, the voice acting is bad and the music isn’t to everyone’s tastes. And yet, and here comes the sad part, the game itself was actually really fun, exciting and addictive. But, it’s not enough. Sega needed to add more content, make the graphics much better for the system and maybe change the ...  Read the complete review

Arcade style games offer the games ...  Read the complete review

I bought this a number of years ago on PC but when unpackaged and installed, the computer decided it didn't like the look of it after all and much to my disappointment, decided against allowing it to work. So I took it back and soon after decided to get the PS2 version, which was on sale in my local Game. Having played the actual arcade version some time previous, my excitement levels were high, although not through the roof as they would have been had this been a brand new football game.

The graphics were okay, the soundtrack was okay, if not a tad ...  Read the complete review
