Hilarious new features that allow players to meddle with their opponents in brand new ways. Players will ram their opponent's cab to steal their fare or use the new interference feature to make them crash or slow down their fare delivery time. This is no ordinary cab ride -- this is war!

This game is great, if you've have played the others and liked it you will love this.
On a sour note the music is different then the original

My kids and I loved Crazy Taxi on the Game Cube and like it even more now that it is on the PSP.
As other reviewers have pointed out, some changes were made to this version of Crazy Taxi for the port over to the PSP. Most notable is the music score, for me that isn't any issue at all but purists might take issue with the change.
Observations:
The game controls are very good on the PSP and were fairly easy to master.
The mini-games are fun, but the main game is still the reason to play.
If you like racing style games, this one is recommended for you!
Note: My daughter says this game can make her feel motion sick, but neither my son or I have experienced any problems.
Great Game espically for grab and play April 12, 2008

I loved this game when I had it on the PS2 so I thought I would try it on the PSP and have not been disapointed. It has the Original CARZY TAXI and CRAZY TAXI 2, both I have found are quite fun. I love how you can play your own music in the game. It reads it right off of your music folder on your PSP. CRAZY TAXI 2 does swear quite a bit but you can turn down the voice volume and up the music volume. All togther I would say that this is a great buy!

When Sega released their final video game console back in 1999, the Dreamcast, it really was groundbreaking and delivered so many wonderful video games. Although it was mainly overshadowed thanks to Sony's Playstation 2, there are still die hard fans of the franchises that were built upon the Dreamcasts legacy. One of those was the arcade smash Crazy Taxi. Although the video game was well-received in the arcades as well as on the Dreamcast, many gamers have felt the need to want to see it do more for other systems. Now for the first time, it has made its way to the handheld market, but does it keep the meter clicking, or is it just a franchise that runs out of gas?
Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars for the PSP, is the offical handheld debut of the overlooked franchise that Sega developed so well years ago. The gameplay follows in suit just like the other ones did, you are a wild taxi driver who has to try to score as many points possible, inorder to earn a licensed grade. As you guide your passengers to their destinations, you can also earn extra fares and time buy avoiding traffic, jumping ramps and finding shortcuts to their destination. The graphics are really crisp, and handle quite well on the PSP, but it just seems more like it is second nature with the controls for die hard fans and gamers who've played the series before. The challenge modes also work nicely, by bringing some added gameplay into the mix, but the soundtrack feels the same like it did before from the earlier games.
All in all, Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars isn't a bad game for those who haven't experienced the thrills of the chase, but it just isn't as much of a fan pleaser for those who've mastered the original versions before. I still often forget how wonderful the series was years ago, but I was hoping for something a little more to add to the challenge. I guess this one will leave no tip, until the next version can top this one.

Do you know me from my review of the first Crazy Taxi game from the Dreamcast? You should, and when I heard of Fare Wars, I knew I want to get it. I got it, and when I first played it, it has all the fun that the Dreamcast versions of Crazy Taxi 1 and 2 combined. I began getting addicted to the action. But for you fans of CT3: High Roller, you won't find the XBox exclusive for Fare Wars.
The graphics are the same as the DC versions of the two, the sound still remains the same, especially the voices. The folks at Sega dug into the archives and reused the same voices instead of hiring new voiceovers.
The techniques are still here, like the Crazy Drift, Crazy Dash, Crazy Hop, etc. The shifting and gas system is easy to learn. The R shoulder button is to accelerate, L is for the brake, X is Reverse, Circle is Forward. But you can change the configurations.
Now, for the first time, Sega has the guts to add the Customized Soundtrack. That's when I get very excited about. I love this feature because you can play your own music on your memory stick if the music is in the MUSIC directory on your MS, not under the PSP/MUSIC directory. Too bad it doesn't have the Offspring and Bad Religion tracks for you old-schoolers, but with your tracks you have on your CDs and mp3s, you can add them to the mix. How cool is that? For me, I put in the Billboard Top 100 from the 80's as my customized soundtrack on my 4 Gig MS. I love this feature.
Overall, this game is VERY perfect on the road, or at a friend's house, or even when you're bored. I recommend it to you old-schoolers who sold their DC's and miss the first 2 CT games. I missed mine until this game came. Get yours today.
