I enjoyed Crazy Taxi on the PS2 and occasionally play CT3 on my computer. I preferred the arcade city, the original was decent but hard to navigate around, the arrow was useless. The only level I play on CT3 is the original arcade one though, the others are hard and rubbish.

I don't get how you have to not be good at the game to enjoy Crazy Taxi though,

Meh. I can sort of see what you mean, it is actually HARD to get proficient at this game, which probably explains why it does feel repetitive. I prefer CT3 from its Crazy Jump feature. Instant combo points!

I'm with Pickhut. Crazy Taxi is really fun when you don't know how to play because you just go for it and have a fun time trying to show off to your friends how insane you can be while driving. But once you take it to the console market and start trying to actually spend enough time to be GOOD at it, you realize that there is NO WAY to actually be good at the game baring hours of tedious practice. There's too many poor design choices to make being good fun and so you end up hating the game instead.

Wow. That wasn't my experience at all. I spent hours and enjoyed nearly every minute of it, becoming rather good in the process (imagine that!). It does tend to taper off after around 30 or 40 hours, but that's true of most games so it's hard to fault it. I will admit to not particularly caring for some of the side challenges, though.
