Product Details of Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars

Description

Take a wild ride through the action packed streets of the original Dreamcast games, Crazy Taxi and Crazy Taxi 2, on the go. Only skilled cabbies need apply for Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, where drivers need to be more aggressive than ever to earn the big money by speeding fares to their destination, no matter what the obstacles. Drive through the two original maps of Crazy Taxi, both inspired by the steep hills, trademark cable cars, and breezy waterfront of San Francisco. Then head for the Small Apple maps in Crazy Taxi 2, which is inspired by New York's large building fronts, hectic downtown streets, and the city's famous Central Park and subway system. And for the first time in Crazy Taxi, two players can race for fares in multiplayer mode, stealing passengers from other cabbies by bumping their opponent's car creating chaotic competition on the road or playing cooperatively as you aim for the big tips.

Crazy Taxi

Strengths: faithful to the original arcade version

Weakness: controls, camera angles

I was really looking forward to this title on the PSP. One of my favorite games in the arcades, I figured that if it had most of the fun in the arcade version, I’d be set. Unfortunately, this doesn’t come close. The graphics are solid, but the controls (very unlinear) and slow camera really take the fun out of this title. Steer clear of this title.

Fun conversion of a classic game

Strengths: Perfect for a portable device, good translation of the DC original, good graphics

Weakness: Missing the original soundtrack, a bit hard to control

Crazy Taxi is one of those great games which has been maybe beat a bit too far into the ground. An incredibly original game on the Dreamcast, it's seen a multitude of releases now, and sequels that added little new to the formula. Crazy Taxi on the PSP however, is the first sequel sort of worth a look for a single reason alone-- portability. Crazy Taxi is the classic "pick up and play" arcade...

Nothing new here, move along~

Strengths: none

Weakness: Graphic glitches, new soundtracks are bunch of garbages!

Even though I wasn't very good at the game in Sega Dreamcast era, I have liked the innovative game play and soundtracks of this game. And guess what? Sega failed to revive one of their classic of the classic games. They should've stick with the game's original soundtrack or at least included them with new soundtracks. The only thing that's new about this game is its multiplayer mode. But what if...

Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars

Ah, Crazy Taxi. That name alone brings back fond memories of the last Sega console, Dreamcast. I really enjoyed the Dreamcast during its short, abbreviated lifespan. Sonic, NFL 2K, Phantasy Star Online and Crazy Taxi were all great games for the Dreamcast. Many of these historic Dreamcast games have made appearance on other consoles but now we get a portable version of a Dreamcast game. The PSP...
