Game Description
Drive like you stole it! Welcome to Crazy Taxi, where every ride is an adrenaline-fueled stunt across the hills of a stylized San Francisco. As one of four zany drivers—Axel, Gena, B.D. Joe, or Gus—you’ll whisk passengers to their destinations amidst cheerleaders popping out of alleys, office workers fleeing traffic, and a clock that’s always counting down. It’s part racing, part action, all nonsense in the best way possible.
Behind its cartoonish cityscape and over-the-top voice lines is a finely tuned arcade engine that thrives on “crazy stunts” — drifts, jumps, near‑misses, and speed bursts that rack up cash and time bonuses. The Dreamcast version runs at a silky smooth 60 fps, making every turn and leap feel tight and thrilling, backed by bold visual design that lets you feel stylishly reckless.
And oh—the soundtrack. The Offspring and Bad Religion deliver turbo-charged punk and rock anthems that perfectly capture the game's manic energy, turning every taxi dash into a pop-punk party. That music became synonymous with the franchise—and it's the reason why many players still crank it to max when the city lights zoom past.
Gameplay Features
- Fast-paced, time‑attack racing with branching taxi routes and unpredictable traffic
- Special “Crazy Box” mini‑games like bowling with your cab and balloon popping
- Unique stunt system: pull off drifts, huge airtime, and near-miss combos to earn bonuses
- Multiple driver/cab options, each with distinct handling, speed, and cornering style
- Two cities included: the faithful arcade map plus a larger “Original” San Francisco-inspired home version
- Pixel-perfect directional arrows and intuitive HUD keep gameplay frantic but fair
Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Developed by Hitmaker under Sega’s direction, Crazy Taxi quickly became one of the Dreamcast’s best-selling and most iconic games, defining arcade-style console racing for its era. Despite early skepticism at Sega, the development team turned the ordinary taxi driver into a lovable urban hero, proving that everyday jobs could be made cool through explosive gameplay and charismatic design.
The licensed soundtrack from The Offspring and Bad Religion isn’t just background noise—it’s a character. Many players credit the punk-rock tracks with elevating every run into a head-banging experience. Later ports often replaced the original music (and even some branded landmarks), but the Dreamcast version retains that perfect synergy of sound and speed that made the game legendary.
