No drivers license? No problem! Sega’s Arcade classic, Crazy Taxi, is going to making a fresh appearance on mobile in Crazy Taxi: City rush. Sega brought back the original creator of Crazy Taxi, Kenji Kanno, to help keep the game true to its roots, but bring it to mobile. Lets face it, not all ports are super when flopped from an Arcade/console to a mobile device.
“I’m very excited to finally be able to share with you the first news of Crazy Taxi™: City Rush,” said Executive Producer and creator of the arcade original, Kenji Kanno. “We are delivering a truly fun game that captures everything our fans love about the original and infusing it with several new features to create an even more fantastic and memorable experience.”
They let us know that the controls are going to be very straight forward and more like a endless runner style with simple swipe and tap actions. It will offer a variety of missions, special challenges in an all new city scape. You will be able to expand the city for more fares, customize and upgrade your taxi fleet to increase their power and make them look cool.
Sega only mentions that the game will be free to play, as in in-app-purchases, and will come out to Android and iOS later this year. They also mention that it is available in select regions right now as part of a soft launch.
