Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, for the PSP, has, today, shipped to stores across America. For the first time, in a Crazy Taxi game, players can compete against each other, wirelessly.
“With over 2.7 million games sold to date in the Crazy Taxi series, SEGA is excited to revitalize this fun, frantic, and highly addictive classic from its vault of top hits,” said Scott Steinberg, Vice President of Marketing, Sega of America, Inc. “With the newly added multiplayer modes in Crazy Taxi: Fare Wars, and an easy to use custom music player, this PSP system exclusive brings back the fun on wheels for endless gaming on the go.”
The game will feature 4 levels from the first two Crazy Taxi titles, which origianlly appeared on the Dreamcast. This means that players will be able to race through the streets, scaring the sh*t out of their passengers, through the streets of a fake San Francisco, and a fake New York City.
The game will also feature some 32 mini-games, custom soundtracks (So if the standard punk rock, that Crazy Taxi usually offers, doesn’t suit you, then you can easily play your favourite ABBA tracks, as you tear up the streets). Plus the game is set to include many unlockables, including interviews with Kenji Kanno, the original producer of Crazy Taxi.
The game should be going for around $29.95, be sure to check out Sega.com for more information.

…Crazy Taxi series sold more than 2.7 m didn’t it. The ps2 version sold somewhere near 2m by itself, plus another 1.5 m for the dc version, and then we have part 2 and part 3. Perhaps they are refering only to the Crazy Taxi’s distributed by SEGA?

To be honest I have no idea off the top of my head.
Though it’s a shame the PS2 version should sell more - as that is the weakest one.

“…Crazy Taxi series sold more than 2.7 m didn’t it”
Which is why he said over 2.7 million! =D
Although he could have also gotten his numbers mixed up or maybe got numbers for America only, but if you include worldwide sales, Crazy Taxi series has done 4 million over.
