    What the game is missing, however, is the multi player modes Sega promised from the first press releases of Crazy Taxi 2. But even with this disappointment, Crazy Taxi 2 does live up as a fun game, but not much of a sequel. It's really more like Crazy Taxi ver. 2.0. 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 . Read more

    • More passengers = mucho tips., Offspring - driving music for the truly insane., Cheerleaders, everybody loves cheerleaders., Two words: Car Golf.
    • The cabs drift side to side., The cabs drift side to side.

    Forget everything you ever learned in driver's education. Prepare to drive around, over, and (best of all) through everything - other cars and telephone booths, pedestrians and patio furniture - as you crash your way through the streets of New York City. Arcade action at its best, Crazy Taxi 2 pumps out some excellent 3D graphics - still putting competitors' consoles to shame - augmented with a high-paced, power-punk soundtrack. 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

    Crazy taxi drivers. They’re best known to exist in New York City. They’ve been made famous in movies. They irritate international tourists with their cockiness. And they don’t know how to drive. What better place to stage a crazy taxi driving game than the Big Apple? Big city, big crowds, big action. Read more

    continues the look, feel and sound of its predecessor perfectly. The graphics stay sharp and crisp as always, speeding by at 60 frames per second (for the most part) with two pretty new levels to stare at. The sound effects are still as wacky as ever (the welcome return of that 'time to make some craaaaaAAAAAaaaazy money' announcer really lets you know what you're playing!), and Read more

    So in the end, all the elements that made the first game are still very much in evidence: the addictive gameplay, non-linear levels, tight, intuitive controls and the challenge of constantly topping your own high scores all make for a nearly flawless experience once again. On top of that, now add new abilities, more challenging course designs and an extremely addictive mini-games mode and you have all the ingredients for a superb sequel. Read more

    To many, paying £30 to drive around in a taxi doesn?t sound too appealing, but Crazy Taxi 2 proves everyone wrong. Crazy Taxi 1 was a great success and has been converted to PS2 and Gamecube to prove it. If Crazy Taxi 2 lived up to its older brother, then it would be a good a game as any on the Dreamcast. Crazy Taxi 2 has an improved game structure, meaning that it doesn?t let you play the arcade modes until you have completed key parts of the training. Read more

    • Great graphics and fun gameplay
    • Not enough characters
