Looking Back to 2001 with Crazy Taxi! https://www.thexboxhub.com/looking-back-to-2001-with-crazy-taxi/ https://www.thexboxhub.com/looking-back-to-2001-with-crazy-taxi/#comments Thu, 18 Nov 2021 14:45:06 +0000 https://www.thexboxhub.com/?p=117989 Some have tried, and failed to mimic the brilliantly balanced gameplay of Crazy Taxi - most notably Taxi Chaos which released earlier in 2021. However, the original didn’t need to be expanded or evolved in subsequent releases because there is something special about the original that is lost even when slightly changed.

But did you know Doritos used to be the life and soul of gaming sessions? You didn’t have to get your controllers messy either, as I’m referring to the 2010 party game Doritos Crash Course. It’s been an entire decade since then and so it’s about time to look back at what made this freebie such a memorable experience.
