Features

Crazy Taxi 2 game play is similar to its predecessor with several upgrades. It features two new cities namely Around Apple and Small Apple which almost similar to New York City. As its previous games, it maintain the four drivers, each of whom has slightly different attributes; Axel is the well-balanced cab choice, BD Joe has the fastest floored speed but least controllability, Gena has the best acceleration as well as deceleration and braking and Gus has the heaviest cab, enabling him to drive well off-road and even onto most oncoming traffic. Moreover, it also features new game play which enables the player to carry multiple passengers and bring them to different locations; this results trick-based tip amounts are multiplied by the amount of passengers in the car. In addition, it also maintain the requirement to performing outrageous stunts such as Crazy Through, near misses other vehicles; and Crazy Drift, barely controlled skidding; and also adding Crazy Hop, which allows the player to jump over certain surfaces to save time. There are several background sound featured including modified soundtrack from The Offspring and Methods of Mayhem. Furthermore, it also features an internet-based highscore board, and replay ability.

    Raising the stakes from the original game's driving juggling act, Crazy Taxi 2 dares players to ride with whole packs of back seat drivers, each with their own separate destinations and jive-talking litanies while players concentrate on bobbing, weaving, and hopping through-and-over congested traffic, both on the ground and in the air. It's the kind of arcade action that puts you on fire when you master it. Read more

    Crazy Taxi 2 encapsulates the feeling and the fun that was to be had out of the first, and as such is an above average title that will be enjoyed by and will not disappoint many people and is a worthwhile purchase for any Dreamcast owner who is a fan of the genre. Read more

    It's time to hit the east coast and check out the action in New York city with your fave cabbie. Pick from Slash, Cinnamon, Hot-D and Iceman. Scoop up passengers, drop 'em off, do it fast and score some cash. The crazier your driving , the better the tips. That's all there is to it. It's the fastest, craziest and most far-out driving game on the planet. Check it out. The sound rips it up. Offspring is back to pummel your ears and they're backed up by Methods of Mayhem ....

    Crazy Taxi Company has picked up shop and relocated to New York City. However, other than heading for the east coast and replacing the four drivers from the original, Crazy Taxi 2 does little to differentiate itself. The two new levels are “Around Apple” and “Small Apple” and both maps work well with the classic arcade gameplay. People are always going to the most unpredictable places, which is one of the funnier things about Crazy Taxi - like when a cheerleader... Read more

    The Crazy Taxi series expands with some interesting features in this sequel. The Crazy Hop takes awhile to put to full use, and even then seems an under-utilized maneuver — but carrying groups of passengers is a fun alternative to the solo customer. CT2 removes some of the fun elements from the original while adding new ones. Why didn't they just combine the best of both worlds? Now there's a crazy thought! Read more

    Given how Crazy Taxi 2 isn't really much of an advancement, technologically or otherwise, on the original game, it's difficult to recommend unless you saw it for a few quid (which, 8 years on, is now quite a distinct possibility), but it's still a damn fun outing that somehow makes a taxi simulator game incredibly fun! You're essentially time-restricted, with the challenge being to pick up as many fares and make as much money as possible! Of course, there's the... Read more
