The premise stays the same: drive around at breakneck speeds, pick up oddball passengers willing to pay you over 300 bucks to take them two blocks away, drop 'em off, and repeat until time runs out. Only this time you're in New York City, a new trick (the indispensable Crazy Hop) has been thrown into the mix, and four never-before-seen cabbies are yours for the picking. It might feel exactly like the old
Crazy Taxi, but this is an entirely new playing field.
Outside of the two single player levels, there's the fun-filled Crazy Pyramid, a series of stacked mini-games designed to force the player to learn the ropes and unlock new vehicles and maps. From jumping hurdles and playing golf with your cab, to hopping across narrow bridges miles above the city, there's plenty of fun to be had and several records to break. Put this together with the ability to record replays of your own insane driving exhibitions, and CT2 delivers enough to keep almost anyone entertained for weeks.
