Taxi Chaos 2

I've played a couple hours so far, and... all in all? Taxi Chaos 2 does the same thing that Taxi Chaos 1 did: re-introduce the Crazy Taxi formula to modern game players - but Taxi Chaos 2 does it a little better. The Crazy Taxi formula remains the same, but while Taxi Chaos 1 was almost TOO similar to Crazy Taxi, Taxi Chaos 2 adds a couple new variations and gameplay mechanics that (for me) give the game more staying power than the original Crazy Taxi ever had, and I've enjoyed handling them as I go from point to point. I will say that the controls feel very arcade-y (in particular, the way that the taxi cabs turn and the sheer bounciness of the default taxi when you collide with things) but I was able to get used to them fairly easily - and besides, I don't think I can really cast shade on the devs for having arcade controls in their game that is, quite literally, a(nother) love letter to an arcade game. Like... for better or for worse, the taxi cabs still feel like they're from Crazy Taxi, and if you don't know what that's like... well, it's not like GTA V, Cyberpunk 2077, or any "realistic" driving game. Be forewarned. So far, I've enjoyed my time with the game so far, and I…

Super fun! I love how arcade-y it is and the plot

Played around two hours at time of writing this and I'm still enjoying it! It's basically Crazy Taxi with car upgrades and a story (or there's also an arcade mode you can play, which is more like CT). It's a huge upgrade from Taxi Chaos 1, I think. Graphics are improved and there's a lot more depth to the game. Physics are fun, it sounds good, only had minor issues so far (UI issue with text not displaying properly on the mission summary at 3440x1440).. I'm really enjoying it! .. AND it runs great on Steamdeck too.

there is a good game beneath all the jank. I recommend using the reset button (holding left on the d-pad) to get unstuck from any annoying geometry.

[h1]Rating[/h1] 6/10 [h1]Intro[/h1] With Crazy Taxi: World Tour on the horizon, I wanted to check in and see how a sequel to a flawed successor would fair. By all accounts, this is a substantial improvement over the first game. While said first game was more or less a carbon copy of the Crazy Taxi experience, Taxi Chaos 2 is more than just that and aims to be a more original experience. While it's still flawed, it makes me wonder how a potential Taxi Chaos 3 will shape up. [h1]Positives[/h1] + Good aesthetics and graphics. + There's more abilities to use here besides jumping. + San Valeda is much more interesting than New Yellow City from the first game in terms of identity and layout. It's like a Brazil, San Francisco and Tokyo all-in-one, with lots of verticality. [h1]Negatives[/h1] - Repetitive dialogue. - Deliver 6 Customers objective isn't possible unless you're lucky. - Certain customers require taking down taxi bots. Which isn't fun to do, since taxi bots don't always spawn nearby. Even when they do, they sometimes despawn before you can reach them. - Story mode doesn't have much of a story. While I do like the premise of AI taking over the taxi business in a Crazy Taxi-l…

unplayable the game lags and skips so bad. even my RTX 2070 cant play it. but i can run Assassin's Creed Shadows without any issues. the first game works better and the game play is better in my opinion.
