#SIMPSONS CRAZY TAXI DRIVER#

While driving reckless maneuvers are encouraged. It can be replenished by picking up customers. In the main Arcade mode, there is a timer that quickly runs down. Green means long rides with plenty of money, and red ones are very short. Available customers are marked through circles and the color represents the distance and the fare they offer. The main goal is to bring as many customers as possible to their destination in time. The courses are largely set inside cities crowded with general traffic and pedestrians (which can't be run over, they dive away).

If you fail five times and skip to the next mission, nobody will blame you.Crazy Taxi is an arcade-like racer where the player takes the role of a taxi driver who weaves his way through crowded streets, across sidewalks, and even underwater, in a wild and frantic race to deliver passengers on time. Oh, and it takes place in the aforementioned Springfield Mountains. Your goal is to simply hit 24 cut logs (each pile has three logs), but the piles are spaced VERY far apart from each other, and you get barely enough time to finish the mission one mistake can easily cause you to fail. That One Sidequest: 'Not the Trees' is easily one of the hardest missions in the game.That it has a difficult ramp through the Springfield Gorge is no help in its defense. That One Level: Springfield Mountains, the last level in the game, is seen like this, since all stops are very far apart, making it a poor level choice for those who want to earn the most money.Suspiciously Similar Song: The Evergreen Terrace theme borrows elements from both 'Aqua Boogie' by Parliament and 'Ffun' by Con Funk Shun.It's got funny dialogue and can be an engaging experience, but it's basically a reskin of Crazy Taxi with Simpsons characters tacked on (to the point Sega sued Fox and the developers) and Loads and Loads of Loading, and was overshadowed by The Simpsons Hit & Run just two years later. So Okay, It's Average: The general consensus on the game.

Hilarious in Hindsight: An impromptu taxi service run by average Springfield citizens? That sounds almost exactly like Uber !.

The Springfield Dam has considerable shortcuts - one can drop from the dam itself or from hills to skip winding paths to drop a passenger at Ranch Relaxo, with a path through a cave contributing as well.

What's more is that you can drive through the alley they're connected to back and forth, and it'll save you enough time. What's more? They respawn by the time you've driven down there and back, making transporting them over and over again a good way to amass time and money.

The Entertainment District has several fares that want to go to the Box Factory, which is just a short drive down the road from where they are.Doing this instead of the natural strategy of going up the hill to the Leftorium fare (and traversing a tricky maze to get back on to the road) can allow you to gain time faster than you lose it- making it easy ( if a little time-consuming and draining) to amass a lot of money in a single run. However, if, after delivering a passenger to the Run-Off Stream, you reset your vehicle, you will be placed on the bridge over the river, directly into a fare to the Springfield Mall. The Nuclear Power Plant has very close together landmarks, which makes it easy to amass a large amount of money.And you can unlock him at the beginning of the game, too! Professor Frink's hovercar has among the best stats, being among the best in both speed and turning ability.
