Crazy Taxi [PS2]

Sound The music selected for Crazy Taxi really fits the mood and tempo of the game just as much as anything could. The tracks are addictive, will get your juices flowing and, well, sound pretty much all the same. Even though there are several tracks in the game and each gets cycled through during gameplay, you'll be hard pressed to tell them apart. It's not that the stuff from Bad Religion and Offspring is bad, it's just that there's not enough variety in the different tracks and when you consider how much one will likely play Crazy Taxi is such a short amount of time, this isn't a good thing.

You can also chalk up the new voices in the game to "this isn't a good thing." For some reason, Acclaim has changed (or maybe was forced to change) the character voices and the end result is some rather boring voice samples. The voices don't fit the game nearly as well as they did on the Dreamcast and in the arcade and one really has to wonder why they were changed in the first place.
