What is Crazy Taxi Classic?
Crazy Taxi is a series of
score attack
racing video games that was published by SEGA back in 1999. They started out as arcade games before the company ported it to their Dreamcast video game console in 2000. You assume the role of a
taxi driver
who must save up money by
delivering passengers
to their destinations in the
shortest time
possible. Earn additional tips by performing
crazy stunts
before the time runs out.
Crazy Taxi Classic
is a mobile port that is based on the original
SEGA game
. It features all the content in the Dreamcast port of Crazy Taxi:
2 city maps
to drive around in,
4 cars and characters
to choose from, and a collection of
16 mini-games
to test your skills. The game modes also lend themselves well for mobile gameplay, with
3-minute
,
5-minute
, or
10-minute
game runs to choose from in the Arcade Mode and Original Mode.
In addition, the game's
original soundtrack
by
The Offsprings
and
Bad Religion
all make their return in Crazy Taxi Classic, as well. It's not a perfect mobile port, though as they are some issues that
hinder gameplay
. For one, the
controls are clunky
were not optimized for touch input. Another is the random glitches you'll encounter throughout the game, such as
getting stuck
in random walls and objects when you bump into them.
A near-perfect mobile port
All in all, Crazy Taxi Classic is as close as we are going to get to experience the original game's
fun and crazy
gameplay
again. It features all the content from the Dreamcast port, from the maps, cars, mini-games, and even the OST. The controls and glitches do get in the way sometimes, but it's not something that can't be fixed in future updates.
