Star Rating: 
★★★
If you're old enough to have purchased a Dreamcast—you sweet, sweet fool—no doubt you recall the Crazy Taxi series. (Close your eyes and you can still hear that ear-burning the Offspring track.) This UMD features the same drive-jerks-to-the-Levi's-store game play that made the original a success on the doomed console. Both Crazy Taxi and Crazy Taxi 2 are packed onto this disc, and topped off with some nifty multiplayer modes. Pick your driver, then take it to the game's virtual streets, pulling off stunts like "Crazy Boosts" and "Crazy Slides." The only "crazy" stunts cab drivers pull off here in New York is "Talking in Low Voice in Unrecognizable Foreign Tongue Into Cell Phone," and "Farting Quietly While Nervously Glancing in Rearview While Driving Through Midtown Tunnel."
