Addictive. Very, very addictive

The Good
There are only a few titles that I believe take a simple concept and turn it into an art form. Tetris is one, Mario the other. And now I can add Crazy Taxi to the list. It's really a simple design: drive a taxi, pick up customers and beat the time limit to get to the destination, making plenty of money has you go along. But once you pick up and play, I doubt you'll want to stop. It's non-stop fast and very funny stuff.

The Bad
The music tunes repeating over and over again may become grating to the ears, and the graphics do have their problems here and there, such as running through people without any collision detection.

Pity there is no multiplayer modes, that would have been a blast.

The Bottom Line
It's a great title, and another classic from Sega. It can be just as addictive as Tetris, and that's a good thing. Very simple to pick up and play, and a lot of fun.
