Crazy Taxi
is a open world racing video game developed by Hitmaker (Sega AM3) and
published by Sega.[4] It is the first game in the Crazy Taxi series. The
game was first released in arcades in 1999 and was ported to the
Dreamcast in 2000. Subsequently, it was ported to the PlayStation 2 and
Nintendo GameCube by Acclaim in 2001, and then Microsoft Windows in
2002. The game was released on November 16, 2010 for the PlayStation
Network and on November 24, 2010 for the Xbox Live Arcade. It is
featured on the Dreamcast Collection. An iOS version was released on
October 10, 2012.Reception to Crazy Taxi has been mostly positive and it became one
of the few Sega All Stars. It has also earned Greatest Hits status on
PlayStation 2 and Player's Choice status on GameCube. Sega followed up
on the success of Crazy Taxi by making a sequel, Crazy Taxi 2 for the
Dreamcast, which included several gameplay changes.
The arcade game was developed by Hitmaker as a variation from
then-current arcade titles. The Crazy Taxi cabinet ran on Sega Naomi
hardware.[3] It was originally released in arcades as a sit-down
machine.[9] An upright version was later released.[10] Over the next few
years, the game would be ported to the Dreamcast, GameCube, PlayStation
2 and Microsoft Windows. The ratings board for South Korea revealed on
June 1, 2010 that the game was rated for release on Xbox Live
Arcade.[11] On June 10, 2010, Sega officially announced Crazy Taxi would
be one of several Dreamcast titles to be released for the PlayStation
Network and Xbox Live Arcade, and that it would be available in Fall
2010.[12] These ports originally were to force a 4:3 aspect ratio, with
widescreen monitors showing blue bars on either side of the screen.[13]
In October 2010 it was announced that Crazy Taxi would feature full
widescreen support.[14] The game is a port of the Dreamcast version,
including both the original arcade and the Dreamcast-exclusive
level.[14] The PlayStation Network port was released November 23, 2010,
while the Xbox Live Arcade version was released the following day.
The main objective of the game is to pick up customers and take
them to their chosen destination as quickly as possible. Along the way,
money can be earned by performing stunts such as near misses with other
vehicles.[6] The player is directed to a destination by a large green
arrow at the top of the screen. The arrow does not adjust based on
obstacles, but rather points in the general direction of the
destination. Once the player arrives near the destination, they must
stop within a specified zone. When the destination is reached, that
customer's fare is added to the player's total money earned. Ratings are
then awarded depending on how long the player took to complete the
journey.[7] If the customer's timer runs out before the player reaches
the destination the customer jumps from the taxi.
Players can select three, five or ten minute settings, or the
Arcade Rules used in the original coin-op version of the game.[7] In the
three time-limited settings, play continues for the designated period
of time, after which the cab automatically stops and no more points can
be scored. Under Arcade Rules, the player starts with an initial time
limit of one minute, which can be extended through time bonuses earned
for quick deliveries. Console versions of the game also feature a mode
known as Crazy Box, a set of minigames that feature challenges such as
picking up and dropping off a number of customers within a time limit,
bowling using the taxi as a ball, and popping giant balloons in a field.
The arcade version of the game includes one stage, and an
additional "Original" stage was added for the console versions. Both
stages are based in sunny coastal California locales, with steep hills
and other strong similarities to San Francisco. The player has a choice
of four drivers and their cabs, each of whom has slightly different
attributes.
