Mechanics
Technical aspects

Crazy Taxi, available on PS3, GCN, X360 etc., is an arcade racing game by Acclaim Entertainment. It combines the best features of urban car racing with a huge dose of humor.

Mechanics

We play as a taxi driver who cares only about two things - the reaction of customers and the tips received from them. You don't have to worry about traffic regulations, you can freely break them and break your neck by destroying almost all the elements of the environment, such as stalls, letterboxes, trash bins or tables from café gardens. You can drive on the lawns, along the streets against the traffic and even under the water. It is important to observe the reaction of the passengers - if they do not complain and are delivered on time, the tip will be considerable.

You can choose from four different drivers, each driving a different car and preferring a different driving style, as well as huge maps of cities to drive, with networks of winding roads, avenues and streets.

Technical aspects

A simple interface makes it possible for almost everyone to play Crazy Taxi, especially since, despite a slightly "crazy" approach to the subject of urban traffic, the game is devoid of violence - fortunately, no one can be torn apart. A large dose of humor, enormous dynamics and speed in a great audio-visual setting made the game popular.
