A prototype of Crazy Taxi for the PlayStation 2.

Notes

• This is an NTSC-U review build from about a week before the final game.
• The most noticeable difference is that some of the menu sprites were tweaked slightly before the final release.
  • For example, the kerning on "CABBIE" in the Crazy Box menu is slightly less even than in the final.
• Most files are marked with timestamps from about a week earlier than final - it seems most of these files were not modified though
• A few files are present that are not present in the final game:
  • In the root directory: USBD.IRX
  • In /RES/SPRITES/: SPRTIT~1.ALL, SPRTIT~2.ALL, SPRTIT~3.ALL
  • In /RES/MAIN/, both MPEGNTSC.ALL and MPEGPAL.ALL are present rather than only whichever corresponds to the game's region.
• A number of files changed filesize somewhat indicating minor tweaks:
  • In /RES/ADS/: MUSIC.STR, VOICE.STR
  • In /RES/POL/: POLDC3.ALL
  • In /RES/SPRITES/: SPRCOMM.ALL, SPRMENG.ALL, SPRMENU.ALL, SPRMFRE.ALL, SPRMSPA.ALL
• Miscellaneous Notes:
  • Game is emulatable (in PCSX2): Yes (as of March 17, 2021).
  • Game contains dongle protection: No.
