Crazy Taxi |ROM-DOWNLOAD

Crazy Taxi doesn’t have a traditional story campaign with a long narrative. The game instead revolves around the idea of being a crazy taxi driver in a crowded city. You control one of several taxi drivers and begin a working day behind the wheel. There are passengers everyplace in the city. Each passenger has a specific destination to reach. The primary task is to pick up passengers and take them as quickly as possible. Every passenger provides the driver with a destination, and a countdown timer begins once the ride starts. The driver has to race through busy streets avoiding traffic and other obstacles. The faster the passenger gets to the destination, the more the driver gets paid and the more bonus time the driver gets. There are all kinds of paths and shortcuts all through the city. The veteran players learn the streets and find out faster ways to places. The passengers respond to the driver's performance, and successful high-speed deliveries help the player get better scores. The game encourages aggressive driving by players. You can drift around corners, drive on the wrong side of the road, jump over obstacles, and take shortcuts to cut down your travel time. The better the players are, the harder deliveries they can make and the higher the fare. The main goal is to become the most successful taxi driver by taking as many passengers as possible before the time runs out. Crazy Taxi is an arcade game, and as such its 'story' is more of a gameplay scenario than an actual story. The excitement is that the driver is racing the clock every day, trying to get passengers to their destination as fast as possible.
