    Unfortunately its new innovations and features aren’t worth the sticker price. The game’s hardly a lemon, but it can’t quite make it off the test drive rental lot.

    Feels more like Crazy Taxi 1.5 than a full sequel. The same basic, addictive formula is present, but for some reason it just doesn't feel as exciting or challenging as the original.

    Uno de los mejores árcades echos en Dreamcast, su jugabilidad es muy divertida combinando con su estética y una ciudad muy llena de vida el juego no tiene historia solo encarnamos a un puñado de taxistas que deberán ganar dinero de manera divertida chocando y saltando por todos lados hay varios tipos de clientes que cambia la dificultad del juego los que tienen un destino corto luego los que tienen un destino mas largo y por ultimo los azules que son 4 clientes juntos y debemos ir a varios puntos marcados, tendremos variedad de personajes para elegir pero todos son iguales no tienen nada en especial entre ellos el juego hubiera tenido mas puntos a favor si se pudiera elegir el clima y tunear tu coche o mejorarlo pero sin esas cosas el juego es excelente y divertido lo recomiendo para todos los que tengan una Dreamcast y quieran echar horas con este arcade 10 puntos se lleva.    … Full Review »

    It has the same great gameplay mechanics as the first game, a solid soundtrack and fun characters. By all accounts, this *should* be anotherIt has the same great gameplay mechanics as the first game, a solid soundtrack and fun characters. By all accounts, this *should* be another banger. The problem is, it lacks the smart map design that made the first Crazy Taxi such an immediately playable experience.

    In the original Crazy Taxi, the map was very linear, and each section was visually distinct. This made it so the player was rarely lost and always had a clear path to where they needed to go. The only barrier was execution. In Crazy Taxi 2, it's just the opposite. The map is denser, and every section of this big city blends together visually. Unless the whole city is memorized, the player will never be able to orient themselves.

    It creates a roadblock for the player before they can enjoy that addictive Crazy Taxi gameplay. It strikes me as the developers not quite understanding the secret sauce that made the first game such a hit. It has the mechanics, the style, the music, but not the glue that holds it all together.    … Full Review »
