Crazy Taxi Review

Posted: 7 months ago.

Overview

Crazy Taxi is a series of games where you take people to different locations in a city, as a taxi driver. It sounds a little dull, but in this brighter and bigger world it's a joy rather than a chore. When you complete a fare you get money based on how quick you were. You can earn tips by performing crazy stunts.

It's good for all ages, as all you have to do is follow the on-screen arrow to deliver the passenger. There's also a simple colour-coded system for how long the trips are. You need to pick the right trip length to fit in the remaining time.
