XBox2k have posted a preview of the upcoming game from Sega, Crazy Taxi: High Roller. Here is part of the preview:
As with previous Crazy Taxi games, you'll find an entirely new cast of cabbies to choose from in Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller, and not surprisingly the crew fits in quite well with the theme and the city, which is based on Las Vegas and the surrounding areas. At the beginning of the game, you'll be placed on the main strip area where there are enormous radiating casinos, lavish fountains, and recreations of famous landmarks from around the world scattered along the sides. There are also relatively small walkway areas filled with pedestrians, tables, umbrellas, news-stands, and plenty of other objects to obstruct your cab from getting to its destination.
Outside the city, there's an area with massive canyons and rivers, as well as tight twists and turns. This area is pretty big, and it takes a quite some time to drive through (a little over a minute) on the main road, which is why shortcuts are even more important in Glitter Oasis than in any other Crazy Taxi course. "The most difficult thing in creating a course for Crazy Taxi is the shortcuts," Kanno said. "You have to find a balance in the number of shortcuts so that the course doesn't become too difficult." Shortcuts are also particularly helpful when driving groups of passengers (that range from showgirls and boxers to people dressed in large rabbit outfits) to their final destinations.
