Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars
Description official descriptions
Crazy Taxi comes to the PSP in a compilation package of the first two games, with all-new features.
Playing the San Francisco-themed area of Crazy Taxi and the New York-themed levels from Crazy Taxi 2, players race their cabs around the city, picking up passengers and performing stunts as they make their way to the passenger's destination using the shortest route possible. All of those popular mini-games from the previous two games also make their appearance here.
In this version of the game, players can now go Wi-Fi to compete against each other, competing to get the most fares and highest amounts of money possible. The soundtrack is also customizable, allowing players to play music from their memory stick's library.
Compared to the original games, game footage can now be recorded, passengers can be stolen, the original soundtrack by Bad Religion and The Offspring has been replaced by a new one, the passenger's voice acting has been re-recorded and certain stores have been removed from the scenery.

The Bad
There isn't any graphical changes to this port, minor graphic pop-ups while driving fast, "Crazy Taxi 2" may have frame rate issues for unknown reason, voices, signs, and music from the original games have been removed (Some older fans of the series may be upset about this), it could have online multiplayer and scores. No major gameplay has been changed...
The Bottom Line
This game is highly recommend for fans of the Dreamcast and Arcade classics with multiplayer included and drop off passengers and do crazy stunts on the palm of your hand. Although some things have been taken out, the game is a great value for your money.
