The resurgence of Dreamcast-era console games on iOS is phenomenal. If you missed Crazy Taxi the first time around, you'll love the delightful design and fast-moving visuals. If you're an old pro, you'll want to replay it at a low price with new features like tilt controls and online leaderboards. Sega has delivered some outstanding original iOS games this year like Total War Battles and Jack Lumber, but it's these retro ports that really make us gleeful. Date: October 11, 2012

There really isn’t much else to say; it’s aesthetically the same as Crazy Taxi always was, and the faithfulness of the port allows the mobile version to be unquestionably the definitive handheld version of the game, if not the definitive version altogether thanks to the simplified control scheme.

From The Smartphone App Review

Overall, this is a faithful and exciting conversion that is a brilliant option to have in your pocket when you need something to dip into. The addition of all the leaderboards, two city layouts and the Crazy Box fills out the core experience nicely. This may appear lightweight when you first play it, but this is the kind of game that you will still be playing years from now. Get it. Date: October 11, 2012

From Crazy Mike's Apps

From my experience, Crazy Taxi is a lot of fun to play. The graphic anomalies were brief and never interrupted the gameplay to the point that I needed to quit or that the game locked up on me — they were just brief periods of expected port glitches. Don’t be shy to see what you can drive on: like roofs, water, people (don’t worry no blood, gore or death in this game). There are also lots of hidden ways to earn extra cash from launching your cab on jumps on the sides of roads, in parks, and on large steps — so experiment and you will find that almost the whole game board is playable.

From AppTudes

Sega’s starting to dip into their back catalog and release some of their best older titles in the App Store, and Crazy Taxi is another highlight from their classic collection, retaining everything that made the original so much fun, from the soundtrack to the crazy driving action. For fans of the original, this is a fantastic piece of nostalgia – and for gamers who’ve never experienced the magic of Taxi, there’s no better time to start than now. Date: October 11, 2012

From AppAdvice

If you grew up with Crazy Taxi, you won’t be disappointed with this iOS port. It plays well and the controls are almost as responsive as you want them to be. After a few hours of gameplay, you’ll get used to the difference anyway. Just be careful with how hard you press down on your device’s screen. If you are anything like me, your iPad won’t be able to take all the pressure. Date: October 11, 2012

From 148Apps

I’m absolutely in love with Crazy Taxi on iOS: it’s a fantastic port of a bona fide classic. Maybe I’m being clouded by nostalgia, and forgiving the little things that annoy me nowadays, like the wonky-at-times physics and driving, but I don’t care. It’s Crazy Taxi wherever I want to go, and faithfully represented. The game is still quite original, and worth checking out for anyone who loves this title or missed it on the first go-around.

With Leaderboards and Acheivements thanks to Game Center, the original modes and music and just the infectious fast-paced gameplay it contains, Crazy Taxi is a fantastic port of a classic game on iOS. Date: October 15, 2012

From The APPera

Crazy Taxi is the perfect arcade game to be ported to the iOS platform. The controls feel at home, it’s fun, and you can play it as long as you want. If you’re in a hurry you can do a quick three minute game, an if not you can choose to do a longer game, or see how long you can last. If you played the game before, you’ll feel right at home, as nothing has changed. Go buy this now. Date: October 23, 2012

From GameZone

For $4.99, Crazy Taxi is an awesomely faithful port of the original, and a must for your device, provided you can do without the iffy tilt controls. (Touch is the way to go, honestly.) And it opens the door for more of Sega's arcade ports to come. What we wouldn't give to see an arcade perfect version of Sega Rally we can take on the go… Date: October 17, 2012

From touchArcade

Five bucks is a bit steep for yet another re-release, but Crazy Taxi's iPhone-sized package presents the perfect time-killer while you're waiting for a table, bustling along on the commute to work, or looking for a fun pass-and-play style game with friends. Check it out. Date: October 11, 2012

From Modojo

It's interesting to note that in the decade or so since Crazy Taxi's release, games like GTA have rendered these full releases as mini-games within a much bigger context. Still, you couldn't ask for a more faithful recreation of a slice of gaming history, and there's enough here to satisfy nostalgia-freaks, as well as those who missed out on the game the first time around.

From AppSpy.com

What's amazing is that even despite the control issues, Crazy Taxi is as fun as ever - whether you play in the smaller 'Arcade' world or the extended 'Original' one, you'll be sliding and colliding without a care in the world aside from the clock that constantly runs down. Whether underwater or sailing through the air, Crazy Taxi is a one of a kind game and definitely worth taking for a spin. Date: October 12, 2012

From Apple’N'Apps

Crazy Taxi for iOS provides everything the game is known for, just now on touch devices. If you liked the original, it’s great to play on your iOS device as it delivers the same over the top action, and frantic arcade style that is rarely seen on iOS. The port is also very well made, and the only real drawback is that the game faces much higher standards then when it was first released in 2000. Crazy Taxi is still a should buy that is engaging and entertaining each time you race your taxi across the city. Date: October 11, 2012

From AppSmile.com

Even its decades-old look and feel and decidedly untrustworthy directional arrow and vehicle controls aren’t enough to sour us when it comes to enjoying this arcade classic that never pretends to be anything more than what it is. Date: October 15, 2012

The Bottom Line: If you have fond memories of playing Crazy Taxi you will be pleasantly surprised at how well it holds up. And all you newbies are in for a vintage treat. Date: October 18, 2012

From Appletell

It’s simply a solid and entertaining game worthy of your hard-earned bucks. Now excuse me, as I still have some missions to complete in Crazy Box. As for you, grab this game from the App Store now. You won’t regret it. Date: October 19, 2012

From App Chronicles

Despite some gray hairs, Crazy Taxi holds up well on iOS in 2012. It’s zany, madcap, and corny, but it’s also fast and easy to pick-up-and-play. Try it out today! Date: October 27, 2012

From AppStorm

Overall, the game is a blast to play. While there is not much variation in the gameplay it does remain fun for an extended period of time. My main wish is the tilt control could control the accelerator as well, meaning the accelerator was always active and braking would require touching the screen much like in the Real Racing series. In the end, Crazy Taxi will provide hours of entertainment for new players and fans of the game already. Date: November 01, 2012

From IGN

Crazy Taxi on iOS faithfully recreates the classic Dreamcast experience, complete with The Offsping and Crazy Box minigames. Its three-minute sessions are a great way fit for gaming on the go, to boot. The originals problems are still present, but how much that will bug you depends on how much you loved frantically delivering fares 12 years ago. Date: October 11, 2012

From Pocket Gamer

Crazy Taxi is big, loud and crude, and it's certainly showing its age - but this smooth conversion is still extremely difficult to put down. Date: October 12, 2012

From Gamezebo

The iOS version of Crazy Taxi is a hard game to judge. On the one hand, it’s a pitch perfect port. It’s the kind of port that makes me wish more classic driving games would come to the App Store (Burnout, I’m looking at you). On the other hand, the Crazy Taxi license has so much untapped potential that it’s killing us that SEGA isn’t doing more with it. This release proves that the Crazy Taxi formula is a fantastic fit for mobile gamers… but SEGA needs to think about putting some new tires on this old cab. Date: October 11, 2012

From TouchGen

Overall, the Crazy Taxi iOS experience is not a patch on playing it in the arcades with a real wheel – nor on the many console iterations that followed. But there is fun to be had. Its arcade stylings are a good fit for iOS, where most players will be on the move and happy with its short burst gameplay. For newcomers to the series though, it might seem antiquated by today’s standards, and some may not understand its simplistic charm. One for the retro-heads only perhaps. Date: October 11, 2012

From iFanzine

Crazy Taxi for iOS is a polygon perfect port of Sega’s reckless driving classic from the arcade and Dreamcast, specifically including all of the additions from the home console release. Not only does the iOS edition include all of the same licensed music by Offspring and Bad Religion that were originally seen in Crazy Taxi over a decade ago, but the game also lets the player earn ‘crazy money’ while listening to any of the songs already uploaded to their iOS device as well. The only downside to this package is that long time fans of the series will experience some controller shock in the process of adjusting to the port’s tilt based steering method, but the new control scheme is more than up to the task once the player finishes reacclimating.
