Developing Crazy Taxi made producer, well, drive crazy
Don't play Crazy Taxi for too long, folks. In a recent interview, Crazy Taxi's Keiji Kanno revealed that while making the original Crazy Taxi games, he found himself driving a bit more insanely.

Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars minigame drives us mad

Crazy Taxi still looks crazy bad
Sega's upcoming PSP version of Crazy Taxi has come a long way.

It appears that some significant progress has been made, but is it enough? We say no...
