Crazy Taxi was one of the first PS2 games I ever owned and it was indeed fun. I haven't played it in ages though. It had an appeal to it that the taxi mission in GTA somehow didn't capture completely. Maybe it was the light-heartedness of it, the fact that you couldn't actually kill anyone, nor could you scare potential customers away because your taxi was all smashed up, and yet there was still a great deal of carnage as you plowed through tables and chairs, drove through water, and flipped other cars over as you sped to your customer's destination (because they'd rather get there quickly than get there alive, and if you're not on the other end of town in 30 seconds, they're not afraid to tuck and roll!)
