2002 Hitmaker - SEGA - Xbox
Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller is the third sequel to the smash hit, Crazy Taxi. Although there are some bad parts to the game, it is overall a fun experience.

Gameplay ~ 9/10
The controls are easy to remember, and easy to use. Except when you try to do a crazy dash, which causes you to speed up instantly, you have to pres two buttons simultaneously, which can be hard to do when you are in the middle of a game. The two levels, which are West Coast and Small Apple, have new and improved parts added on to them, which makes it a whole new experience all together. The new level that was introduced, Glitter Oasis, resembles Las Vegas and has a nice theme to it. Although there are only three levels, they are absolutely huge, and there is a lot to do in them. But the real beauty of the game is the Crazy X mini-games. These will keep you playing for many, many days. They are unique also. For example, one of the mini-games is where you have to get your passenger across a large field with a tornado in it, except there are tons of cars flying out of the tornado to try and slow you down. Another of is where you must hit a baseball it the stands form a baseball field, but because the baseball is larger than your car, you have to drive your car into it to hit it. These are a great addition to the game.

Graphics ~ 6.5/10
The graphics could have been improved in this game. In most of the levels, especially Glitter Oasis, you experience a lot of slow-down, which can mess you up with the many lights it has. Which brings up another point, the many lights and shiny objects are a plus, and give the game a good look. There are also pop-ups quite often, which is a minus. Overall, the graphics are okay, but lacking.
-
Sound ~ 5/10
While the sounds that are created when you knock over crates or smash into a wall are realistic, the music is very repetitive and gets very boring. There are about only four songs if I can remember correctly. And when you keep trying over in Crazy X, they play over, and over, and over…
Overall, this is a good game. If you have never owned any Crazy Taxi games before, I highly recommend you buy this.
7/10
