Crazy Taxi

Try to get your passengers to their destinations while dodging traffic and other obstacles in Crazy Taxi.

The game has a design that you might see in an arcade game. While the graphics are decent, they could be much better as the paint schemes on the cars and the buildings look like they were designed in the mid-90s. It's a typical taxi cab challenge. When you begin the game, you see the car that you will be driving on the road. You can change the look of the car later on if you want.

There are passengers standing on the side of the road that need to be taken to certain places in town. You will pick up the passengers and take them to where they need to go without wrecking your car. This is sometimes difficult to do as there are other cars on the road that want to make sure you are blocked in your lane. There are also a few obstacles that include trash cans and orange traffic cones. You could also get behind a slow line of cars or large trucks that will usually make you late in dropping off your passengers.

You can play in the original mode or the arcade mode. The arcade mode is more of a free-play where you can just drive on the streets to get a feel for how they are designed and where some of the businesses and homes are located. The arcade mode is where you have challenges, such as time trials. The best thing about the game is that you don't have to really worry about obeying traffic rules. You can drive on any side of the road, run red lights and pass other cars while driving as fast as you want so that your passengers are happy.
