Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars

I finally get to play network-ed games on psp. We tried our best on DJ Max2 but due to the limited ability, we can only play songs that are below lvl 5, which is like abt 6 songs? hahahha.. too lousy. I'm glad yuqin got her console now, during our slack semester haha. more network gaming coming up!

Tried Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars. You can choose to play Crazy Taxi or Crazy Taxi 2. Haven tried 2 before but 1 was exactly the same as the PC one. I guess 2's the same as 2 on PC ba. The goal is to control one of four different cabbies and drive around the city picking up customers and getting them to their desired location. The more knowledge you have of the streets, the faster you can get your passenger to their destination, and the more you can earn. Speed plays a big factor. Also, the more crazy combos (drifting, jumping, squeezing between vehicles on the streets) you make, the more your passengers enjoy themselves, the fatter their tips. You can even steal passengers from other cabbies by bumping your opponent's car creating chaotic competition on the road! Navigating through traffic, hills, and obstacles isn't easy; it reallie takes a skilled cabbie with no fear to earn the big bucks.

Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars offers a few different single player modes, including the mission-based arcade mode (where good drivers earn time bonuses), and time trial mode (where drivers collect the highest fares possible in the time allowed). There is also training modes where drivers can record and save game-play replays of their driving performance in Crazy Taxi 2. Overall what you get with this title is a good old classic game. The graphics and controls are not cutting it in this day but it doesn't reallie affect the game. If you were a fan of the original then you will enjoy this game, like I do.
