[edit] Merging

I can't see why this page needs to exist, as it's not only a pretty basic port of the two games, the extras are minimal, if at all. Discuss away. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 23:43, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Since this is a different game, for a different console, it shouldn't be shoehorned into an article about either of the Dreamcast titles. 199.212.19.130 21:29, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
But it's not a different game. It has less new content than, say, Final Fantasy IV Advance. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ 22:26, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Not so. FFIV Advance is just a port of a single game. While this is a port, its of two separate games. Wouldn't needing to list it on two different pages as a port end up being redundant? Anyone wanting to change it would need to do so in two places. Additionally, it is worth noting the multiplayer functionality which is new to the game. 199.212.19.130 14:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
The game is different enough from the other versions that it shouldn't be just dumped into the Crazy Taxi Dreamcast articles. The new multi player features alone make it plenty different. Take at look at the Worms series. It is a similar situation. They maybe similar in many ways but they also have differences just like this. Xtreme racer 03:00, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
I understand where you're coming from with the Worms analogy, but there, there are several more games, and several game that have minimal gameplay similarities to the main titles in the series. As it stands now, most of the games in that Worms series are in a sad state of editing.
For the Crazy Taxi series, the gameplay differences between games are extremely small (the addition of more passengers, the wifi in this version). Two of three paragraphs is enough to describe it. Furthermore, all games have somewhat a notable soundtrack, so that's a common feature to be noted. Save for the first CT article and the series article, the rest of the articles here are really bad and likely aren't going to get much more notable content. I think you'd have an easy shot at combining all the CT game articles into the series article and getting that to a Good ARticle status than keeping them all separate. --Masem 05:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
For reference, this page shows a quick mock-up of how I'd merge all the CT articles into one page (though I'm lacking some information right now). Again, the first CT (arcade and console) are very notable, but subsequent games are not, and thus it makes more sense to make a single page for all the titles in the series. --Masem 16:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Customer Voices

Well, in that game, customers voices being re-recorded would mean that they no longer have a 90s accent like they did in the base versions, and now sound more 2000s-ish. --PJ Pete —Preceding comment was added at 09:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
