I absolutely love the Crazy Taxi games, I played it to death when it came out, I played it to death after that, and while not quite as often as I used to play, I do fire it up on my arcade machine at least once a week these days. It’s one of the purest arcade trills out there, or console thrills if you got in during the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 days. Now, Lion Castle and Team6 Game Studios have announced that their cab driving game, Taxi Chaos, which is broadly inspired by the Crazy Taxi franchise.
I must raise an eyebrow or three though, as looking at the rather exciting trailer, it’s literally just Crazy Taxi. The car jumps a little higher, and the voices are changed, but it’s literally Crazy Taxi. That may bother SEGA’s lawyers, but I don’t care, it looks like a lot of fun, so I’m eager to get hands-on with it.
Fortunately, I won’t have long to wait, as the game is set to release on PC on October 19th. However, I’m only just learning of this game, but it does seem it’s been out on major consoles for a little while now, but it’s finally coming to PC.
