Crazy Taxi Game main objective of the game is to pick up customers and take them to their chosen destination as quickly as possible. Along the way, money can be earned by performing stunts such as near misses with other vehicles. The player
is directed to a destination by a large green arrow at the top of the
screen. The arrow does not adjust based on obstacles, but rather points
in the general direction of the destination. Once the player arrives
near the destination, they must stop within a specified zone. When the
destination is reached, that customer's fare is added to the player's
total money earned, a ratings are awarded depending on how long the
player took to complete the journey. If the customer's timer runs out
before the player reaches the destination the customer jumps from the
taxi.
Players
can select three, five or ten minute settings, or the Arcade Rules used
in the original coin-op version of the game. In the three time-limited
settings, play continues for the designated period of time, after which
the cab automatically stops and no more points can be scored. Under
Arcade Rules, the player starts with an initial time limit of one
minute, which can be extended through time bonuses earned for quick
deliveries. Console versions of the game also feature a mode known as
Crazy Box, a set of minigames that feature challenges such as picking up
and dropping off a number of customers within a time limit, bowling
using the taxi as a ball, and popping giant balloons in a field.
The
arcade version of the game includes sixty levels, and an additional
"Original" stage was added for the console versions. Both levels are
based in sunny coastal California locales, with steep hills and other strong similarities to San Francisco. The player has a choice of four drivers and their cabs, each of whom has slightly different attributes.
