this game is the worst game of all time. it has horrible graphics horrible camera angles and bores the crap out of you quickly. everything looks so basic and dull the game is no fun at all. the cars dont move in the direction you want them to. i like trying out games a lot. but im sorry i ever checked out this garbage. for a fun time check out any grend theft auto or the most recent nascar game. this game is really bad and should definitely go down without notice. im so glad i only rented this one.

VERY DISSAPOINTING!!

I loved CT1 and was really looking forward to CT2. Unfortunatly it didn't do anything for me. I found the characters less interesting than 1, and the biggest let down is the track/city. Not nearly as fun as CT1. All the hills and jumps in 1 were great. CT2 maps also feel smaller than the maps in CT1. The added gameplay elements don't do anything to enhance the basic gameplay- i.e. jumping cars. Picking up two customers is kinda cool but I wish you could pick up ANY 2, not just the same ones together.

minor improvement and very tedious mini games

If you already own part one (like I have ) then don't expect to be blown away by part 2. The arena is a similar "city" setting, with no time differential. You're still driving during daylight. You can not drive at night. So the only difference is the fact that your car can jump.

My biggest complaint is about the mini games. In order to unlock the hidden stages, and scecret characters from part one, you are forced to play the mini games, which are VERY...VERY...VERY!!! difficult to beat.

Why didn't the progamers include easy button entry codes, like they do with other games? I like challenges but why should I spend 4 hours trying to get my car to jump from one rooftop to another.

Stick With The First One

I loved the first Crazy Taxi to death. It had some problems (the worst offender being its somewhat low replay value), but I still really enjoyed it and played it more frequently then I thought I would. Since Crazy Taxi sold like hotcakes here(but sold poorly in Japan), a sequel was in order. But enough history. Here's Crazy Taxi 2. I'm pretty disappointed with the results of this sequel. I'll start with the bad. The 1st problem is the controls. The set-up is fine and the same as the first game, but it doesn't feel like the original game. It was always hard to do, but I can't pull off Crazy Drifts anymore. It was imperitive to know this to do well in the first game, and now they're almost impossible to pull off. I do like the fact you can jump now, and you'll need to do it a lot. The new Drift Hop is absolutely worthless. You never need to use it in the game (except in a few mini-games), and it's too hard to pull off.
The next problem is the accuracy of the city it's portraying. It's meant to be NYC, but it's not accurate to the city at all. I mean, when was the Metropolitan Museum Of Art next to an inner city Basketball court? Almost nothing is portrayed correctly, save the F.A.O Shwartz in the city. It's just like the F.A.O Shwartz in NYC on 58th and 5th. Third, the feature of picking up many people at a time just doesn't work. It screws up your radar arrow and you can't tell where you're going. Lastly, the characters aren't as funny or as loveable as the cast from the first. You can unlock the old cabbies, but it's so hard, it's almost a waste of time. I've gotten pretty negitive here, but I just needed to get that off my back, so here's the good: The graphics are improved over the first Crazy Taxi (although pop-up is a bigger problem this time), the sounds are nice, and the idea of the game is great. But sadly, this sequel doesn't deliver on the same level as the first. It's not horrible, but that can't help make it a safe buy. Pick up the first Crazy Taxi,(it's on Dreamcast and PS2) if you haven't already, and leave this one as a rental.

Note to Parents: This game's content is worse then the first Crazy Taxi. Although there was strong language in the first, most of the really bad stuff wasn't audible. In this one, the language is stronger and almost perfectly audible. I'm just warning you here, but this one earns its Teen (ages 13 and up) rating.

More like Crazy Taxi 1.1

This game almost as good as the original. I loved it in arcades and picked it up as soon as it was available on the DC. This game recreates the feeling perfectly, but definitely doesnt add much to the experience. The graphics are anything but improved, and few additions have been made. The ability to jump the car and pick up up to four (all looking exactly the same and get in at the same time) cutomers at once. The new city is highly uninspired. It is just a bland city with a few new franchises like Burger King and the Gap placed in. Most of the time you are just looking at tall bland skyskrapers zipping by, unlike the original arcade racer. I didnt like the second level added to the DC version and the new one isny any better. It just relys on speeding through a city and there arent many sparce section like in CT1. I thought the first one owes a lot of its credit to the very well thought out city. The one part of this game that impressed me was the mini games where you were on a road high above the city and you could see buildings in the horizon as far as the eye could see. Its too bad the game didnt use these obvoius abilities of the DC and the engine to add to the real game. It was gorgeous and surprised me. I didnt think the DC was capable of it. Overall, it keeps the mayhem of the original and you should definitely pick it up if you are still addicted to the first. Drive on!!

A good sequal

Crazy Taxi 2 is a lot of fun if you have never played the first one. But it is so muhc like the first one it is kind of boring if you own the first one and then you buy this one. There isnt much of a difference beside new mini games and you can now jump over on-coming traffic. Also there is a new map to drive in since it is in new York. There are four new people al lwith different cars, but who cares? My advice is spend a lot less money and get the first one because tey are both very alike.

One Question, actually two

For those readers, is it really NYC? OR SOMETHING LIKE IT? Because in crazy taxi, people said it was in san francisco but when i checked midtown madness 2 and flight simulator and real life pictures, they did not match with this game, so obviously these guys are liars. I only hope this time, it is really new york or else...grrr. I hate one thing and thats the unrealistic road, but other than that i like the car realism, the real stores and restaurants and the citizens themselves. Another thing, when is this coming out on ps2?

So boring

The graphics are spectacular. That's it. Nothing else is going for this game. You'll enjoy it for maybe 20 minutes, then you'll regret having bought it. The game has no story, little extras, and is incredibly repetitive. Oh, and the same Offspring song is played over and over nonstop. Yeah, that's not annoying.

It's Crazy Taxi but doesn't live up to the Original release

I got this earlier this week and have been playing it. Good notes about the game are that it's easy to play, and has the same relative functionality of Crazy Taxi and Crazy Box but in a different setting. And there are added challenges and features to this game. If you like Crazy Taxi, the original, you will enjoy this sequel's game-play.

However what was lost was the "charm" of the game, in the new characters. BD Joe's slang is missed. As were the voices of the Conservative drivers. Now they all pretty much sound the same and are really kind of flubbed. Even the young kid with the urban accent and the preppy girls voices. So that is what I miss about the game. Otherwise it's quite entertaining.
