History YMMV / CrazyTaxi

** Averted in the case of the product placement. Not many complained about the modern re-releases changing places like Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken, or Tower Records with generic "pizza place" and "record store" locations.

* FirstInstallmentWins: The first game is the most fondly remembered and has seen countless ports, while the second and third games were not nearly as well-received and has each been ported once (PSP and PC respectively).

* EarWorm: [[Music/TheOffspring YA YA YA YA YA!]]
** [[Music/BadReligion Parched, cracked mouths, empty swollen guts, *guitar riff*.]]

* AwesomeMusic: If Crazy Taxi is usually remembered for one thing aside from its fast-paced hectic gameplay, it's the punk rock soundtrack found in each of the games, originally featuring Music/TheOffspring and Music/BadReligion, along with Tommy Lee, Brian Setzer, and Citizen Bird/Silverbullit. Most players consider it such a vital part of the gameplay to the point where where the ports have been [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks widely criticized]] for not retaining the same music. In fact, "All I Want" by The Offspring is so popular and tightly associated with the game that it was made a playable song in ''VideoGame/{{CHUNITHM}}''.

** Save for the [=GameCube=] and [=PS2=] ports, the game's iconic soundtrack has unfortunately never since survived its numerous re-releases, from the original PC port to the downloadable re-release in 2011. It returned in the 2012 iOS re-release, though.

** The voice acting for the original four cabbies, save Axel, was changed with the [=PS2=] and [=GameCube=] ports of the first game, which carried onto the sequels. The recent re-releases of the first game are not spared of this change.

%%* EarWorm: [[Music/TheOffspring YA YA YA YA YA!]]

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Passengers actually jump out of the taxi while it's still moving if the timer runs out. That on it's own is pretty ridiculous, but it sky rockets to insane levels when you find out that one of the possible passengers you can pick up is a ''pregnant woman''.

* {{Sequelitis}}: The first game was immensely popular at the time of its release, becoming an All Stars title for the Dreamcast, and it seemed that Sega had another CashCow franchise on their hands. Unfortunately for them, the series saw a quick decline in popularity with the release of each sequel.
