Crazy Taxi 3 on Xbox with Las Vegas city added to the first two cities. The crazy taxi formula is intact. Immediate fun, fast-paced and addictive in short sessions. Less original after two episodes but still solid.

"From the very first seconds"
Pick up a fare, weave through traffic and brake in a screech of tyres: thirty seconds are enough to understand, hours aren't enough to put it down. The clock, the lunatic jumps and the high-octane soundtrack create instant euphoria. With new cities and a day-night mode, this arcade distillate stays irresistible and furiously exhilarating.
A console entry in Sega's arcade series, Crazy Taxi 3 High Roller has you drive zany taxis in open cities, tasked with dropping off customers as fast as possible through drifts, jumps and improbable shortcuts. The frantic pace, the freedom of movement and the punk rock soundtrack carry on the series' joyous formula. The repetitiveness and a dated production weigh. An arcade racing game to recommend for fans of unbridled driving and snappy scoring for short, cathartic sessions.
