In Crazy Taxi, time is of the essence as players must race against the clock to pick up and drop off as many fares as possible. The more daring and skilled the driver, the more money they can earn. With original music from The Offspring and Bad Religion, players can rock out while they navigate through the chaotic city streets.

The game offers two modes of gameplay: Arcade Mode and Original Mode, with the option to play for 3, 5, or 10 minutes. For even more craziness, players can try their hand at the 16 mini games in the Crazy Box mode.
