For the first time ever, players can
compete against a friend in a high-speed, money making multiplayer frenzy.
Cabbies can also perfect their skills through 32 mini-games and effortlessly
customize their music while racing through the city. With all-new features,
gamers can now relive the addictive, action-packed gameplay of the original
Dreamcast games, Crazy Taxi and Crazy Taxi 2.
In Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, drivers are more aggressive than ever when speeding
fares to their destination. Cabbies can compete wirelessly head-to-head via Ad
Hoc around the city, taking turns in a skills competition to see who can pick
up and drop off the most passengers to earn the highest fares. Players can also
run interference during an opponent's trial, throwing off the opponent and
making them miss a passenger pick up, drop off, sharp turn, or ramp jump. An
additional turn-based multiplayer mode allows for two cabbies to play on one
PSP system and split the cab ride.
"With over 2.7 million games sold to date in the Crazy Taxi series, SEGA is
excited to revitalize this fun, frantic, and highly addictive classic from its
vault of top hits," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, SEGA
of America, Inc. "With the newly added multiplayer modes in Crazy Taxi: Fare
Wars, and an easy to use custom music player, this PSP system exclusive brings
back the fun on wheels for endless gaming on the go."
In Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, players can drive through the two original maps of
Crazy Taxi, including the arcade map and the original Dreamcast map, both
inspired by the steep hills, trademark cable cars, and breezy waterfront of San
Francisco. They'll then head for the Small Apple maps in Crazy Taxi 2, which
are inspired by New York's large building fronts, hectic downtown streets, and
the city's famous Central Park and subway system.
Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars offers 32 mini-games for cabbies to train and hone their
crazy driving skills which are available in two mini-game modes, Crazy Box and
Crazy Pyramid. Drivers can now effortlessly download their favorite tunes and
switch between songs while careening through the city. Cabbies can flaunt their
skills and driving performance with the video record and save feature in Crazy
Taxi 2. Additional unlockable content is available including interviews with
Kenji Kanno, the original producer of Crazy Taxi.
