Crazy taxi 3 pc gaming wiki series#
The game received a dedicated port to the Dreamcast worldwide in early 2000, adding new timer options (which changes the roaming timer to either a strict 3-minute, 5-minute or 10-minute timer), a bonus locale (known as "Original" mode), and a series of unlockable mini-games (known as "Crazy Box"). For scoring, players earn cash by getting patrons to their destinations (earning more in their fare by performing stunts and reaching their destination quicker).Īlong with its licensed punk rock soundtrack (featuring music from longtime bands Bad Religion and The Offspring) and use of real-world brands (such as Tower Records and Pizza Hut), the game is known for its numerous ports, re-releases, and sequels. Instead of racing other drivers, players must race the clock and earn more time, both by picking up patrons and by speedy deliveries, before the timer reaches zero (at which the game ends). As one of four freelance taxicab drivers, players drive around a fictional coast-side city in the United States while picking up taxi customers and driving them to their destinations as fast as possible (disregarding all driving laws). Known for its unrealistic arcade-style gameplay, Crazy Taxi is a humorous take on taxicab driving. Crazy Taxi is a comedic open-world third-person racing game developed by Hitmaker and released by Sega for arcades (running the DC-based Sega NAOMI hardware) in both North America and Europe in 1999.
