As an OG Crazy Taxi lover, its new remake might just not be crazy enough
Not ya ya ya ya ya, I fear.
After playing through Crazy Taxi: World Tour, I'm not convinced it lives up to the legacy of the original game. After being exposed to every version of Crazy Taxi, I expected a thrilling experience, but after an hour, I felt it was enough. The game allows you to drive as Axel in Germany, with five cities to explore in the full version.
The core gameplay remains the same - picking up and dropping off passengers as quickly as possible. However, the side quests and challenges add some variety. Despite the promise of real-world locations, the game's presentation feels cheap and unrecognizable compared to the original Sega game. Even with the catchy Offspring songs and recognizable brands, the dull driving and tight handling made it hard for me to get excited about Crazy Taxi: World Tour.
While I'm interested in seeing more of the game's real-world locations, I'm not in a rush to get back in the driver's seat.
