You have to deliver each member of the group to a different location, and you must deliver the entire load successfully to earn any money. Group fares put two to four people in your cab at the same time, with one timer. Aside from the hop, the game controls are roughly the same as the first game's, though the timing on the crazy dash seems a little different.Īlso mixing things up is the addition of group fares. As it stands, there's little point in weaving through traffic on straightaways, since you can just hit the Y button and hop over anything in your way. The hop is so incredibly useful and it changes the game so drastically that it probably should have been a little more difficult to do. This lets you hop over traffic with ease and take shortcuts, such as jumping onto the roof of a building, hopping up a flight of stairs, or hopping off a freeway overpass down to the surface streets below. Unlike the rest of the game's special tricks, which require you to do a little shifting and play around with the gas button, the crazy hop flings your taxi into the air with a simple press of the Y button. Most of the shortcuts in Crazy Taxi 2 are dependent on the game's new move, the crazy hop.
CRAZY TAXI 2 FULL
The two levels, Around Apple and Small Apple, are roughly the same size as the original game's maps, though the levels are packed full of shortcuts and more twists, turns, and actual roadway, making them feel absolutely huge by comparison. Both levels are full of licensed stores, such as Burger King, HMV, and FAO Schwarz. While the first Crazy Taxi took place in a fictional city based loosely on San Francisco, Crazy Taxi 2 moves the action to New York. At the end, your score is totaled up and you're given a ranking based on your performance. You can also elect to play for a set amount of time, either three, five, or ten minutes. When playing by the arcade rules, you're governed by a short timer, which can be lengthened by delivering passengers quickly. Like its predecessor, Crazy Taxi 2 is all about picking up fares and delivering them to their destination as quickly as possible. The resulting game at times feels more like an add-on than a full-fledged sequel, though there's more than enough new content to satisfy fans of the series. The game sticks close to the winning formula of the original game, delivering new levels, new cabbies, and a new move to the series. Crazy Taxi 2 is the console-only sequel to Sega's 1999 arcade driving game, Crazy Taxi.
