Going Crazy over Crazy Taxi? Just under a month left and Sega's driving sim masterpeice and arcade smash is to take a seat on stores shelves, but they won't be there long. When speaking to some Playstation Extremists over on the message boards at Playstation.com I realised that they are kinda angry that a console other then the aged 32 bit phenomenom had a driving sim better then the over hyped Grand Turismo (Driver is coming to DC so that don't count -Ed).

Does this mean that Sega has finaly started to take pride on the software making industry of which it dominated prior to the Saturn and Genisis' fatal add ons. Yes it does. Its like building up a babys self esteem. Once it realises it is magnificent good things start to happen to it and those it effects. It took a while for me to get a copy as it was sold out in my local retailers I found it well worth the wait and is definatley going ot be a classic. Even if you hate the car driving/racing genre (as I do) this game is sure to please. You are put in control of several different Taxi models and drivers (4 each) and 2 massive inviroments. The key is to get your customer to their destination as quickly as possible. Which not only gets you a bigger tip but more chance for more customers to make all the deniro before your shift ends. Sound fun, wait untill you see where you can drive.

This game strays from the common "you have to stay on the road" type driving as found in Grand Turismo, Sega Rally 2 ,and you get the point. Instead it gives a more Carmageddon free moving feel. Being able to go through a park into a pond while maintaining a continous velocity to get you over the hotdog stand just to avoid the traffic jam at the end of the road. If you have become tired of the tracks there are 9 mini games to help hone your bad ass skills. Too bad you cant go through buildings and joy ridding in the zoo on Grand Turismo (you can tell Chase's has hate twards Grand Turismo and PSX fans -Ed).
