A crazy time in Crazy Taxi

I am sure we've all played one game in our childhood that stood out because it was funny and crazy. This game for me was Crazy Taxi.

For those who don't know what Crazy Taxi is (but really, who hasn't heard of it?) Crazy Taxi is a game where you play as a taxi driver. Not just any taxi driver. A crazy one. You pick up customers and have a time limit to get them to their destination. This game isn't about being careful, it is about doing stupid things. Want to crash into cars while drifting around the corner? Sure why not, it also makes you money. Why not go fast while driving up a ramp, it gets you a lot of money. 

There are a lot of game modes. You have classic mode, in which you earn time by getting customers to their destinations. You then have the arcade rules modes, which are split up into 3 minute, 5 minute and 7 minute modes.

You also have a sort of trial mode, where you have to complete objectives, like travel 150m while in the air after jumping off a ramp, or get 5 customers to their destinations in 5 minutes (doesn't sound hard but it is). These are fun and make you better at the game itself.

There are not a lot of characters to pick from, there is only 4 in fact (Axel, Gena, D.B.Joe and Gus) and they don't change how the game plays. The characters are purely cosmetic. 

Overall, Crazy Taxi is one of my all time favourite games and if you haven't checked it out you should. Its on the PS2 and on the Xbox 360.
