* Release summer 2007 (europe)
* developed by Sniper Studios
* 2 Player Multiplayer Mode Ad-Hoc (co-op & vs.)
* Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 cities (it looks like only in multiplayer-mode)
* Single Player: Arcade Mode, Time Attack Mode.
* Extras: Crazy Box (16 Mini Games from CT1)
* Extras: Crazy Pyramid (Mini Games from CT2)
* you can record your game on video and save it on Memory Stick

Okay, anyway, PICS!

    Those screenshots look horrible.

    Still, this would be an awesome game to have on a portable.

    Yeah, it's really hard to understand why the more powerful PSP isn't able to match the Dreamcast version. :?

    is PSP really more powerful than the DC? I would say about similar, but that would be a guess.

    Anyway, I imagine their architectures are pretty different, but this seems to be worse than other PS2-PSP downgrades/ports.

    It's a lil' ugly, as has already been said. But, I think it'll work very well as a portable game, given how very little time commitment it requires.

    Awesome. I generally don't like rebuying games but I'll pick this up just because of the portability. These were two of my favorite DC games.

    This'll probably look better in motion, but if it's trying to really look like a DC game, I hope it doesn't have large load times.

    Not enough Bad Religion love in this thread.

    Them and Usssssss

    Anyways, pretty disaponting that they're recycling the same cities and drivers and that the screenshots look pretty bad.

    This would make a pretty good portable game, though.[/i]

    I liked Crazy Taxi well enough back when it came out, but I can't help but wonder if there's any reason to get it again...one might as well get their "near miss" points and thrills from Burnout: Legends. Eh. Maybe when it's twenty dollars.

    Edit: And yeesh, that's one ugly PSP game.

    Everyone has to play Crazy Taxi in the arcade at least once. Most people don't last more than 2 minutes but if you learn to drift and boost you can play for almost an hour. It is damn near a spiritual experience.

    TRUTH! This was the first video game I ever got my wife to play. This is litterally what she makes a beeline for at the movie theater when we get there early. And amazingly enough, even though in real life she's not that great of a driver, she kicks ass at the game.

    ...wait, that actually makes perfect sense.

    On the home version, I using the drift and boost, I did somewhere between an 80-90% game (as in, 80-90% of all fares delivered). It was somewhere around 3-4 laps of the city, and took FOREVER.

    For some reason, I could *never* get down limit cuts in the arcade version. I could do them perfectly fine on the Dreamcast (and the Xbox in the 3rd version of the game), but no matter what I did I couldn't get them going in the arcade.
