The music in Crazy Taxi was what really made the game shine, and was very edgy. It was one of the first truly open world driving games which would eventually grow to include legendary titles such as Grand Theft Auto 3 and Watch Dogs.

He wanted to create something different, where a high skill level really changed the way the game was played, and how long it lasted.Ĭrazy Taxi sold phenomenally well on Dreamcast and was one of the best selling games on the console, selling nearly 750,000 units in North America in the year 2000, which, considering the Dreamcast's tiny install base, was a very high attach rate.
Crazy Taxi's producer, Kenji Kanno, wanted to make a different kind of game where the length of play could potentially be limitless, if the player were sufficiently skilled. Ouch! Road rash!Ĭrazy Taxi proved wildly popular on the Sega Dreamcast home console, and has since seen release, along with its sequels, on PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, PC, Gameboy advance, and the Xbox consoles. If you don't get a passenger to the destination fast enough, he or she will jump out of your speeding taxi in frustration. Crazy Taxi has over 250 unique passengers scattered about the game-world, all looking to get somewhere as fast as possible. You get bonus money for brushes with disaster such as catching air or passing another vehicle too closely. Red is closest, and least money, then orange, yellow, and green, which are the furthest fares. Customers are colour coded depending on how far away their destination is and how much they will pay you. Good players can actually make the time on the clock go up over time, rather than down. The trick to the game is to get customers to their destination as fast as possible, so that you have some of the time that customer gave you left over for the next ride. Every time you pick up a customer, they add time to your clock. The game is a race against the clock, which is constantly ticking down. Drive around and pick up customers in your taxi, weave through traffic, and get them to their destination as fast as possible, rinse, repeat.

In Crazy Taxi you play the role of a taxi driver in a world where there are no traffic violations, and raw speed is the name of the game. The game saw release on the Dreamcast in 2000, and thanks to the hardware in the Dreamcast being very similar to the arcade version of the game's Naomi hardware, it was a perfect port.
Crazy Taxi was extremely successful in its initial arcade release, and Sega got to thinking that they would be wise to release it on their new Dreamcast home console, as well.
