| SegaHeart said: Good list although Crazy Taxi arcade is driver game not a racing game , I did play Crazy Taxi in arcades in 2012 in Los Angeles loved it also there is a console game like it called simpsons road rage on PS2 and other games. Great list |
Crazy Taxi is great because it doesn't waste any time. Obviously because of its arcade roots, yet the flow is addictive. Forza Horizon has a few taxi mission, yet there it's blah blah blah, loading screen, blah blah blah, drive to client, loading screen, blah, blah, blah, loading screen, deliver client, blah, blah, blah, loading screen. Drive to the next mission. After one, I'm done. Crazy taxi is a rush, one more go, try again. That's what defines arcade games.
A modern crazy taxi would be great. Photogrammetry is nearly good enough to make it a cloud game with real world data. Any big city in the world, all the meta data is there. Businesses could even sponsor the game by getting their locations selected more often. Online multiplayer, see all the other crazy taxis darting around. Play in your own city where you know the way, no gps mode for time bonus etc.
