Sad though it’s not going to get anymore updates. ### 3/5 — Runs Smooth, No Voices? *2025-05-29* Game runs pretty well. Graphics look good. But what happened to all the voices? I loved hearing all the lines from the announcer, to the cab drivers, and all the customer you pick up. Seems lifeless now without anyone talking. Just hearing “taxi” being yelled while driving around is not it. Otherwise all game modes are here. Still as fun as I remember and the original song is on this version which it was replaced on the Xbox port so at least that is here! ### 4/5 — Brings back memories, great it’s available on Apple Store *2025-05-27, version 3.1.1.3* I have this video game on my ps2 I love it! Only issue with game play is the ADS.. very annoying.. why does it need internet to function.. everything was offline even when the game was released ### 3/5 — Amazing game, decent port *2025-05-24* So the game itself is amazing obviously, I feel like everybody knows that by now. But for the mobile port itself, it’s… fine. You can tell that this version of the game originates from the iPhone 4S era. For example, I’ve noticed the audio for voice lines will decrease for seemingly no reason at random. One day you’ll hear the announcer and pedestrians, and another day they’re mute. With no option to change this in-game, and no config file fix I can find, the only solution I can think of is wiping the game off your device and reinstalling. Controls are questionable as well, as they retain the analog-to-digital conversion issues every official Sega Dreamcast port seems to have. Turning is far too sensitive and conflicts with my muscle memory of the GameCube version. I would have personally liked to have seen something similar to hill top racing, where there’s a steering wheel in the corner for analog movement. These various faults don’t detract from the game too much, it’s not like this is GBA levels of bad or anything. Overall, it’s fine. Would like a Mac port though… ### 2/5 — Crazy taxi killed my mom *2025-05-17, version 3.1.1.3* greatest game I’ve ever played ### 5/5 — Better than the console version *2025-05-12, version 3.1.1.3* This game is a hidden gem, and I love the leaderboard feature. ### 3/5 — Almost 5 star experience *2025-04-24, version 3.1.1.3* This game is just like the original back from 1999. The only thing that’s missing are the voices of the announcer and the characters including the customers when you are taking them to your destination. I’m guessing it might be a bug but I sincerely hope it gets fixed to maximize the original Crazy Taxi experience! ### 1/5 — Ужасно много рекламы *2025-04-11, version 3.1.1.3* Невозможно нормально играть, постоянно появляется реклама ### 1/5 — Crashing *2025-04-09, version 3.1.1.3* I downloaded this recently and everytime I open it it would keep crashing ### 3/5 — Still fun after all of these years! *2025-03-25, version 3.1.1.3* This is still a fun game and I love the original music. Why are there no voices though?!? ## Frequently asked questions about Crazy Taxi Classic ### What is Crazy Taxi Classic?
