Crazy Taxi: Catch a Ride

It's missing the original game's great controls and sense of speed, rendering all that other good stuff a wasted effort. [Sept 2003, p.80]
At the end of the day this isn't a matter of graphics whorishness, it's just that the GBA can't do the game justice. Underneath it all you can feel the spirit of the game struggling to get out.
When developers start stripping away essentials because the hardware cannot handle the strain, you must question the reasoning behind it. Was it really worth subjecting a world of gamers to this mess that barely resembles the original for the sake of a quick fare?

Este juego me parece definitivamente la peor entrega de la saga, es decir, mantiene la formula y el modelo de juego clasicos de los crazy taxi, pero el juego tiene un game fell y una jugabilidad tan tosca que te lo termina arruinando por completo. Es basicamente un demake mal hecho del primer crazy taxi, solo que con una peor sensación de juego y sin la capacidad de sumar puntos por tomar grandes alturas. Por otro lado, los crazy box han perdido toda su utilidad como tutorial, ya que al volver a los xontroles ylas fisicas tan simples, termina perdiendo su utilidad el hecho de tener estos niveles como tutorial. En definitva, esta es la representacion gráica de como arruinarte una experiencia tan buena como la que es el crazy taxi original. 4.5/10

the game is really fun, the graphics are pretty bad but what can you ask the gba in 3D ?. It's fun and simple, you're a taxi driver you take people on the map and you get a pay lol

Impressively attempts to bring the identical console experience to the Game Boy Advance and, for the most part, does an admirable job. Still, it’s clear by the unsteady framerate and choppy graphics that the GBA does have its limits and this game definitely pushes it to the max.

Definitely a fun GBA game, but you have to work through the game's blocky graphics and very inconsistent, chuggy framerate.

Nine Crazy Box minigames add to the game play variety. [June 2003, p.139]

Cheat Code Central
Does not even come close to capturing the fun, speed and total recklessness of the original.

Everything else, from collision detection to control to having only three different cars as traffic, adds up to this game biting the big one. [May 2003, p.94]

The whole thing is so choppy, it's almost impossible to play... A total mess. [May 2003, p.41]

SummaryRace against the clock as you pick up passengers and white-knuckle it through busy streets and back alleys. And time is money! So get a grip on the wheel and put the pedal to the metal.
