Taxi Chaos - PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5

This game is pretty fun, if you like crazy taxi you’ll like this but the only thing is that it doesn’t have the amazing music that crazy taxi had. But the game is still fun to play

This game seemed to come out of nowhere when I first heard about it from a YouTuber, RGT85. Apparently, it is a spiritual successor to the Sega classic, "Crazy Taxi". It's also not developed or published by Sega, with the exception of in Japan where Sega is indeed publishing it. The game is available on both Switch and PS4 (PS5), and at the time of writing looks about the same on each console. I grabbed the PS4 version as the Switch version had sold out. It is currently the same price in physical or digital format, so I opted for a copy to add to my library. That said the game seems to load textures further out faster on PS4, though on Switch it just swaps lower for higher resolution textures as you drive closer to objects like building windows. This is a feature most games use, especially those on Switch to conserve RAM memory. Visually like I said it's currently running at a somewhat low resolution, I would assume between 720p and 1080p, where on PS4 Pro or PS5 you would assume it could handle at least 1080p or better. Gameplay wise, it plays very similar "Crazy Taxi", with the addition of being able to have your car jump. This extra jump option, while unrealistic in this already unrealistic arcade style point to point racer, is actually pretty convenient. The controls are great and if you were a fan of "Crazy Taxi" you should feel right at home in this game. Sound. The game has a fairly limited rock track that can get old quickly. There is no Green Day here. Also while the new character voices offer a lot of dialog during your trips, many offer the same dialog all too frequently with a lot of repetition. At a $30 title, I'm willing to overlook some of the game's flaws like its lower resolution visuals and repetitive customer chatter. The core gameplay is where this game shines for that I can easily recommend the game to anyone wanting to give it a try.

Crazy Taxi with a new Name? It's a great time killer and I can't really hate on it as it's basically just Crazy Taxi on the PS4. I enjoyed it but I could see the younger folks play this a lot more.

Great game...and good gameplay...controls are responsive...low price at Best Buy.

Really good taxi game. Clearly this game was inspired by Sega's Crazy Taxi which released back in the dreamcast, PS2, PSP and original Xbox days. This game seems like a successor to crazy taxi and is a lot of fun. If you like causal arcade racing game then this is the game for you!
