Advantages: Good gameplay and fun!

Disadvantages: No longevity

I remember when i was at University (many moons ago) and this was one of the Arcade games that they had in the union building. I actually feel like i did a degree in Crazy Taxi rather than Geography as this is what i spent most of the three years doing!! So when i saw the game for the PS2 going cheap, i jumped at the chance to relive those days and see what more the game had to offer. Unfortunately, it offered not a lot more than the arcade version.

The basic principal of the game is that you are a taxi driver (and a CRAZEEEE one at that!) who picks up people and takes them to their destination. The more crazy stunts you do (jumps, drifts, cutting up cars, etc), the more money you get from the customers plus the normal fare, so the idea is to get as much money as you can. There are only 2 towns that you can play in on the game so there isn't really any variety.

There are 4 characters to choose from, each with their own form of transport. On the arcade version, there was a cheat to get a rickshaw (which was faster than the other vehicles and a lot funnier), but i never did work out how to get this on the PS2 version!!

Overall, a fun game but with little variety, it won't last long.

Summary: Ok for a while, but no depth to the game
