Taxi Chaos : Official Launch Trailer
- Thread starter Stacey
- Start date
The only thing holding me back from an instant buy is that the entire city feels really lifeless. I really want a good successor to crazy taxi so I'll be watching out for reviews.
Kind of risky considering Sega actually once sued because of Simpsons Road Rage similarities to Crazy Taxi

The suit was then privately settled

The eShop page uses the word crazy like 15 times.
I suspect it's legal in the way every match-3 puzzler in the last 25 years is, games that define their own genres and gameplay loops are easily imitated and identifiable despite a few key changes. Like, Bloodstained pretty much screams 'Castlevania', and Mighty No.9 did the same with Megaman too, right down to their core, but you can't copyright a genre. In terms of the most obvious part, it's not like you can claim copyright infringement on a caricature of a yellow taxi that you're already making evocative of something that already exists.
I'm like 99% sure Sega owns the copyright or patent on the "floating arrow pointing to objective" design, and that's what got Simpsons: Road Rage in so much trouble.
IMPORTANT EDIT: ayyy the patent expired in 2018!!

It's £28 (£31 after today) but that's too much for something that just popped up on my radar with no reviews or impressions.
EDIT: £23 on Xbox.
Switch tax is still a thing then.

I was going to ask about this, I loved Road Rage! I remember hearing about the lawsuit but didn't know if it was an urban legend or not, cuz this game is even more similar to CT.Kind of risky considering Sega actually once sued because of Simpsons Road Rage similarities to Crazy Taxi

Edit: Oh I see the patent expired so they should be in the clear. Ugh, I hate some of these gaming patents.

Your opinion lacks self esteem. That ain't pretty fly. I say ixnay on the hombre to that.
Hmm...
I might buy it out of a sense of curiosity.
It's amazing to think that Crazy Taxi 2 is still only on Dreamcast and Crazy Taxi 3 is only on the OG Xbox.
A high quality collection of the 3 games would probably sell decently. Or at least I'd buy it.

If i am not mistaken that is incorrect.
Crazy Taxi 2 is on PSP as part of the Crazy Taxi Fare Wars which is a collection with both Crazy Taxi 1 and 2
Crazy Taxi 3 came out on Windows but i am not sure if you can get it nowadays
Looks and plays good. I spent countless of hours on the original one on Dreamcast and that shit introduced me with Offspring and Bad Religion
PSP got a Crazy Taxi collection which included both DC games. Only difference was the games had different punk songs. But it allowed MP3 on the device to be used in the in-game radio. I reverted the songs back the original that way.
The game should still be on PSN, I believe.

I always forget about that PSP port. Happily stand corrected.
Crazy Taxi 3 on Windows isn't something I was aware of. That would be interesting to track down.

are you sure about this? I just read that SEGA actually is not involved at all. The article says the developers of this game do not have the official (or unofficial) support of SEGA Corporation and they're currently studying the situation...
