If you’ve never played Crazy Taxi before, the gameplay is very simple to describe: Someone gets in your taxi, you drive to the designated location. What makes it crazy is that your goal is simply getting there as fast as possible, which encourages causing all sorts of mayhem and ignoring any concept of the rules of driving, which is why people love the game and copies of its basic formula have popped up for ages. Now Sega is promising a new Crazy Taxi game, but notably one that is open-world and massively multiplayer.
While this may set your eyes a-twinkling with possibilities, it’s unlikely that the game will be a full MMORPG any time soon, especially as the game somewhat by definition features one quest and then leaves its completion up to you. Still, the promise of a bigger world and multiplayer mechanics are interesting, and the idea of trying to deliver a fare at max speed with other players also causing mayhem sure does delight the mind thinking about it.
