Talk:Crazy Taxi (video game)

message: These scores are not remotely noteworthy or interesting. The score by Stuart Morrison, of Wokingham, England is not even difficult to beat for a good player player. I know that this has been beaten (A german player got 14,929.53) and this mode isn't really the main point of the game.
The J.C. Padilla score is good, sure, but far from a world record. He was playing on time setting 1 (out of 8) and 70 seconds start time. Again, any experienced player can gain a large amount of time and pick up every customer on the map. The default time setting is 4 and 50 seconds start time. A Japanese player called PNY has beaten J.C. Padilla's score anyway, see here: http://www.aiva.emuita.it/c.php and this was probably on a harder setting. Although I don't have the link to hand, people have broken $105k with difficulty settings 8/8/50 which compared to J.C.Padilla's 4/1/70 game makes the mention of these non-record scores really seem pointless.
Also there are no mentions of world records or high scores on other games which don't have a particular notarity for it, see Dodonpachi, Ikaruga, Sega Rally, blah blah blah.
I have to agree, I myself can easily beat 14k! In fact, the top award (Crazy) is not given until you hit 20k. You need to be lucky to beat the 100k barrier, but scores of 70-80k are regularly and easily obtainable for skilled players. I suggest the scores be removed, and mention only made of the Seganet scoring system and the fact that there was some competition amoung top players. Mention should also be made of the rankings available. Mojo-chan 22:25, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  the champions section is a bit silly :/ 

message: Could anyone write a section containing information regarding Crazy Taxi being developed for the silver screen? I would myself, but I just completed one for another game and I didn't want them to sound similar in their format. Thanks for anyone that can help.
:Maybe providing a source for this (dubious) information would elicit a better response. The Kinslayer 11:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Movie Adaptation? 

message: Given the Dreamcast version supports a wheel (see manual, guides (like this)), I don't really see how the PC port supporting a wheel was really an advantage for it, as stated in the article. Lucidion 16:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a reliable source for who provided the voice of the game's narrator ("Hey, hey, hey, you're goin' the wrong way!")? I read somewhere years ago that it was Wolfman Jack or someone doing an impersonation of him, but I suspect that's false. Radical AdZ (talk) 13:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Narrator Voice?

message: Why was the soundtrack/song listing removed? Seemed a handy list to me. I'm tempted to put it back, but it was taken off by Teancum who seems to be a diligent editor on this page... any thoughts? Jeremysee (talk) 01:48, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It was removed per the standards, which basically are that unless the soundtrack was released commercially it is not listed on the page. --Teancum (talk) 02:05, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

message: The game should also be listed for Playstation 1, I don't know why it isn't because there was a version for playstation 1. My best friends' brother still has a copy of it.76.102.122.122 (talk) 22:56, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I am uncertain of calling Crazy Taxi a "racing" game. There's no racing involved in the game at all. Yes, the player races "against the clock", but that's a common feature of many kinds of video games. It would seem that the only reason Crazy Taxi is a racing game is that the player operates a vehicle. But, for example, Twisted Metal and Driv3r are not considered racing games. I am aware that Crazy Taxi is mentioned in the racing game article, and I would contest that. The fact is that racing games must involve getting from point A to point B faster than one or more opponents. Crazy Taxi involves getting from point A to point B quickly, but not in relation to any opponent. Thoughts?
