I don't have the ful version of this yet but I do have a decent demo for OXM (official xbox magazine). I played this continually attempting to get an "A" rating. This game is addicting and different every time you play. The frame rate is great and the graphics are crisp and clear. There are special moves like a crazy jump so you can get over oncoming cars, a crazy drift to get around cornrers easier and your wheels go on fire, and the crazy boost that leaves a trail af flames while you speed forward. Controlls are easy to do and the replayability is way up there. Deffeinnetly deserves 5 stars. BUY IT

Everything from the first 2, with much much more!

If you've never played a Crazi Taxi game, you've really missed out. If you have, you know how much fun they are. Well, if u liked either of the first two, I can promise u that you'll like this one. It packs it all in. Here goes:

One thing you'll notice about this game is that the controls are just like previous Crazy Taxi games (right trigger go, left trigger stop). You stop in a customer's circle, he hops in and you take him to his destination. Speedy, nice tip. Normal, good tip. Slow, bad tip. You can pick any of 12 Taxi drivers, and drive your Taxi in any of 3 locations. Either one: the coast (from the first game), two: The Big Apple (second game), and third: the new Glitter Oasis. Make as much money as possible, and you'll get a license (either A,B,C,D,E, and or F). Drive for 3 minutes, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes. That's the game, now on to why it's so awsome.

Graphics: They're incredible. You really feel like you driving through a city, with beautiful buildings, scenery, streets, and cars. Sharp people and convincing worlds will give you the full expierience only Xbox can offer. There are hundreds of different people to pick up, and you'll notice your not picking up 3 people again and again during the run. I never see the same person in a run. It's weird. It's almost like really being a Taxi driver in New York City.

So, if you have a craving for more of the same great Crazy Taxi, with old and new people, envirements, and outstanding graphics, Crazy Taxi 3 is for you. An Xbox exclusive, a must buy for all current (or future) Xbox owners. Excellent game Sega, now on to Crazy Taxi 4! (*lol*)

Crazy Taxi gets it's 6 makeover!

Amazing and astounding are two words that describe the crazy cab game genre invented by Sega. Crazy Taxi has had so many ports but now a sequel being made exclusively for the Xbox system. The Xbox technology should help the devlopers make the best Crazy Taxil game of them all. Now you're rampaging the streets of Sin City or also known as Las Vegas. New moves and new drivers are being added to keep the game fresh and funny. The new game should put the trilogy into video game history.

AWESOME!

I usually do not review games which did not come out yet, but after playing the demo disc of OXM and playing this game for many days straight, ignoring all my other games, I just had to come and write a review. You would think the graphics would take advantage of the XBOX Hardware since it is an exclusive XBOX game, and in a way, it does. In the demo there was only one playable level called the Coast X. When I first played it, I was thinking, Dreamcasts graphics of the original Crazy Taxi are almost better than this. The next couple times I have played it though, I noticed just how crisp the graphics really were. They aren't bad at all!!! I must have been tired when I first played the game! After playing this game, in every arcade I go into, the first game I check for is Crazy Taxi! It has also come to be my favorite game for any console and this is just by playing the DEMO!!!!! Before I stop writing this review, I only have one complaint. When you take a group of people, you don't get paid until they ALL get dropped off in different locations. Also, with large groups, most of the time, even if you think you are going as fast as you can, like the first three people you drop off will say you are slow! The last one usually says normal. Dropping off just ONE person is easy enough to get a SPEEDY almost every time!

CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love crazy taxi,im a real big fan of it, I have the first one for gamecube.Then i bought an xbox with 3 games, i didnt buy this one because i didnt know if it was as good or not, so i rented it.WOW, i love this one the most, here are some reasons.

1.Graphics: Really great, they are cartoony graphics sometimes but are really the best.

2.Sound: The sound effects are really cool, and the music, I LOVE, if u like punk bands like offspring and bad religion you'll like this, both bands are in the game plus some band called citizen bird...????.

3.Controls: The controls are the same as the last 2 games, i'd recommend the controller s or the racing wheel for this.

4.Gameplay:I love playing this game.IT has 1 level from each of the 1st games and same characters, I Played this game for hours.

Overall:Crazy Taxi 3 is crazy, i'd recommend buying it, if u never played crazy taxi,(any of them), then i'd recommend u rent it before purchasing. That's All.............Have fun Playing

This message goes out to that snotty 10 year old who said CT3 stinks. I bet his parents wouldn't let him buy an Xbox, that's why he's so pissed at the game.
I think CT3 is awesome. It's deep, and easy to pick up. Buy it!

You'll be HOOKED!

Good!Great!Fantastic! Finally a game that has so much action that your Xbox will slow down on you. This is a true gamers game full of momentum and excitement. You can practically do anything you want with your cab (anything). Non stop action. Worth the expense!

The best game

Crazy Taxi 3 is still the only taxi that can break all the rules of traffic and physics. I thought Crazy Taxi 1 & 2 were super great, this is like 3 times better! The fire from the cars are pretty nice. And the graffics are so much better.
Even though this has only 1 new level and 2 levels from the previous Crazy Taxi levels, it's still the best. The 2 levels from the previous Crazy Taxi games is the Arcade level from 1 and Small Apple from 2. Both of these levels are modified. The level has more areas to drive and parts of it are a lot different. They look familiar, but the changes are good enough to buy this.
The Las Vegas level is very huge. There aren't any real locations in the real Las Vegas except Stratosphere Tower, which you can't drop anyone off. There is a desert, a lake, a dam (Hoover dam), a canyon, and a river. This level, you can jump from the dam or the canyon if you like to get major heights. It's a great level is all I have to say.
So people who enjoy the other Crazy Taxi games will love this one for sure, even if this game has the same levels. You won't be disappointed!

Crazy Taxi is back and better than ever!

Before I begin, I have to say that I loved the first Crazy Taxi in the arcade and on Dreamcast. It was an extremely fun game with great graphics, sounds, and controls. A year later, Sega unleashed a sequel onto the public in the guise of Crazy Taxi 2. In retrospect, I think I was harder on it then I should have been, but the controls did not feel right and it was not that much fun in comparison to the original. I was not sure if I would like Crazy Taxi 3 that much (considering how disappointing the last one was), but I was so happy to find that this is the series best installment yet.

The first thing that surprised me with this game was with its much improved controls. The game engine feels closer to the first game than the second, which is a good thing. All of the tricks you need to learn become second nature after a while. The Drift Hop, which I labeled "absolutely useless" in Crazy Taxi 2, is actually easier to use then before, and I am eating my previous words: The Drift Hop is useful. Also, the carpool feature spent some time in the shop. This fixes another problem I had with CT2. The radar is not confusing anymore, so you can now carpool with ease. Thanks, Sega!

Graphically, it looks nice, but most other next-gen consoles could pull this off with relative ease. However, there are some impressive touches, such as your taxi's headlights and the city lights at night. In the sound department, the game is a treat with good sound effects, music by the Offspring, Bad Religion, and others that perfectly set the pace of the game, and good voices. With the sound, however, I do have couple complaints. One, I wish Sega would have enabled a Custom Soundtrack option, although I really like the music here, so I am just nitpicking. Second, I wish that some of the voice actors from the first game would have reprised their roles for this 3rd incarnation (all the voice actors from CT2 are in this game). I really say this because I loved hearing Kent Frick as B. D. Joe, and he does not sound quite as good anymore. As I said above, though, I am just nitpicking here.

As far as features go, this game has a plethora of them. You get the arcade course from the first Crazy Taxi, the Small Apple course from CT2, and a new course, Glitter Oasis. This course is really great and just as fun as the older courses. In addition, the older courses have undergone some changes. This means that there are more locations to take passengers to and the CT1 course received a face lift. It now utilizes the jump feature allowing you to jump on top of buildings, cutting your times even shorter than before. In addition, you have the Crazy X mode. Much like the Crazy Box and Crazy Pyramid from the first two titles, these involve playing fun and inventive mini-games to unlock game features. One favorite game of mine is the Crazy Football game. You have to take the passenger to the end zone of a football field. All the while, cars, trucks, and 18-wheelers try to crash into you and knock you out of bounds (which, of course, makes you lose); it's a hoot. Furthermore, you can save your runs with replays (this is useful when you want to prove to a friend that you beat a very difficult challenge). Be warned though, some of these challenges are really hard, but the rewards are worth the blood, sweat, and tears.

The real star of Crazy Taxi 3, however, is the fun factor. This game is extremely fun and addictive; I could not stop playing it. The game is full of character and personality that will keep you smiling for many miles. I really loved this game. Sure any next-gen system (maybe even the Dreamcast) could handle the graphics, but who cares? This game is ultimate proof that gameplay and overall fun are much more important than graphics, resulting in one of the best games of the year.

Looks good!
