Title: Do you like crazy taxi.

Come to China and play crazy taxi for realz. It's actually slightly like Initial D as well, because of the steep cutting on turns

I loved that game! I bought a Dreamcast for that and Soul Calibur. Although I haven't played it since back then...

well the PC version's pretty good,  better than dreamcast, because it has the mods for "wide screen"

Overall, I think taxi drivers in china drive Exactly like in Crazy taxi,  minus the Ramp Jumps..

Time is money! Do the traffic cops just look the other way?

Chinese city Driving rules are more "guidelines"



You only have to watch out for speeding on the high way,  that's about it.

I've never feared for my life more than when I rode in a Chinese taxi.

Problem is,  Taxis only make money when they're FAST..

It's exactly like the crazy -taxi point system.

American Pro Trucker is another great arcade machine by the same team that did Crazy Taxi (AM2) and if you are lucky enough to find a machine still operating you should give it a go. It's basically Crazy Taxi cross-country.

And that Initial D arcade game (with the card swiper) is super badass. A lot of quarters were spent back in my day on that game.
