Crazy Taxi is a series of video games, developed by Hitmaker and published by Sega, first released to arcades in 1999. The success of the arcade version prompted Sega to release the game on their Dreamcast console in 2000. It was the fourth best-selling game on that system, selling over a million copies. The game was later ported to the PlayStation 2, GameCube and PC with sequels also appearing on Microsoft Xbox and Game Boy Advance systems.
About the games
The object of the game is to pick up passengers and transport them to their chosen destination in the shortest possible time. The player is not required to obey traffic laws, and the vehicles take no physical damage. Unlike many driving games, which are essentially set on an invisible, fixed track that cannot be escaped, the city of Crazy Taxi is realistic and navigable, and is laid out similar to an actual city (in the case of the original's arcade map, San Francisco). The city also has realistic traffic patterns that vary as time passes, which provide a large amount of the game's challenge.
The game begins with a time limit, typically 50 seconds, which is extended by picking up passengers (the amount of the extension depends on the distance the passenger wishes to go) and by dropping off passengers quickly (a "speedy" delivery earns five extra seconds, "normal" earns two). After picking up a passenger, a green arrow on the screen points out the way to go, and the destination is ringed by a flashing green border. Longer fares are worth more money, and the player receives bonus tips for performing jumps, near-missing cars, drifting, and getting to the destination quickly. The player’s score is measured in the income he or she earns before running out of total time.
