Crazy Taxi is a racing game developed by Hitmaker and published by Sega. It was first released as an arcade video game in 1999 and later made its way to the Dreamcast console in 2000. The game has been recognized for its innovative gameplay design, which is easy to learn but difficult to master, as well as its use of in-game advertising and a soundtrack featuring bands like The Offspring and Bad Religion. The core gameplay mechanic was even patented by Sega, leading to a lawsuit over similar gameplay in The Simpsons: Road Rage, which was settled out of court.
In Crazy Taxi, players take on the role of a taxi driver tasked with accumulating money by delivering passengers to their destinations as quickly as possible. The game features a variety of cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, and Las Vegas, each with their own unique characteristics and challenges. Players can choose from different drivers and cars, each with slightly different performance attributes that affect gameplay. The game also includes special "crazy stunt" moves such as drifts, jumps, and near-misses, which can earn extra money from passengers during trips.
The Dreamcast version of Crazy Taxi is considered a perfect port of the arcade game and is among the top-selling video games of its time. It features a spot-on replication of the arcade experience, with the addition of a larger map and mini-games that allow players to extend their gameplay. The game's addictive gameplay, excellent graphics for its time, and a great soundtrack contribute to its status as an excellent title. Players can also enjoy the game's use of real-world advertisements, which were a first for video games at the time. Despite its repetitive nature, Crazy Taxi remains a beloved title among Dreamcast owners and is often praised for showcasing the console's abilities.
