<p>Crazy Taxi is an open world racing video game developed by Kenji Kanno and his team at Hitmaker and published by Sega. Gameplay is based on picking up taxi customers, and driving to their destination as quickly as possible. Along the way, money can be earned by performing stunts such as near misses with other vehicles.<sup id="cite_ref-gamerevolution_review_8-0" class="reference"></sup> The player is directed to a destination by a large green arrow at the top of the screen. The arrow does not adjust based on obstacles, but rather points in the general direction of the destination. Once the player arrives near the destination, they must stop within a specified zone. When the destination is reached, that customer’s fare is added to the player’s total money earned. Ratings are then awarded depending on how long the player took to complete the journey.<sup id="cite_ref-ign_dc_9-0" class="reference"></sup> If the customer’s timer runs out before the player reaches the destination, the customer will jump from the taxi without paying the driver. The player has a choice of four drivers and their cabs, each of whom has slightly different attributes.</p>
