CRAZY TAXI PS4 FULL

Now comes the portion of Crazy Taxi that had us a bit vexed… the soundtrack. It would have been nice if Sega could have pulled a bit more horsepower from today’s current-gen systems, but we can’t complain, the game still looks sharp. As per classic Crazy Taxi, there is quite a bit of pop up as buildings sometimes spring out of nowhere in the distance when players are traveling at high speeds and the game doesn’t have the opportunity to load them fast enough though sometimes ugly, don’t fret, as this won’t hinder the gameplay experience at all. However, many will be pleased to know that the game takes up the entire screen on HD sets, as opposed to the first Dreamcast classic to be released on the PSN, Sonic Adventure. Graphics-wise, Crazy Taxi looks exactly the same as it did 10 years ago, with a slight coat of HD polish thrown in for good measure, but this is more-so to accommodate HD sets rather than make the game look that much better since the frame-rate was always excellent and things are, for the most part, unchanged.

But it’s essentially a port, not a full remake, so we can’t complain.

The controls for Crazy Taxi are nimble and responsive, just as you would expect, though we would have loved if some modifications had been made to the engines for a more genuine roar. This is one addition that’s quite nice, and certainly something that would have changed the dynamic of the game back in the day. We often found ourselves coming back in an attempt to cut deeper into the leaderboards. Everything from arcade to the ever-difficult crazy box modes are back once again, but this time online leaderboards add a bit of depth to the gameplay.

Extra cash bonuses can be earned for reckless driving, insane stunts and other crazy behavior. Your goal? Speed as many passengers as you can to their allotted destinations while raking in loads of cash in the process. The gameplay is just as fun and frantic as most will probably remember. If you’ve ever played the original Crazy Taxi in the arcade or on the Dreamcast, you’ll feel right at home when you load up this latest HD remastering of a true Sega classic.
