Step into the wild, high-speed world of Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller, where the roads of Glitter Oasis are your playground and time is money! This adrenaline-pumping installment, initially released in 2002 for Windows, captures the essence of arcade-style driving with a fresh twist. In Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller, you take on the role of a fearless taxi driver, navigating through crowded streets, jumping over buildings, and executing insane stunts to deliver your passengers to their destinations as quickly as possible. The faster you get there, the bigger your reward—but watch out, because the city is full of obstacles and surprises!  Similar to the Midtown Madness series, you'll also find yourself in cities inspired by real-world backgrounds from the US (specifically San Francisco, NY, Las Vegas). In addition, the pure gameplay is supported by a soundtrack that no one would willingly play, but it works perfectly here, especially when the focus is only on how to get the customers to the designated place within the time limit. And the whole game works on this simple principle, where collisions end with touching the other road user, the taxi is able to jump and some passengers demand more action (men's basketball team). In addition to taxi jobs, there are also mini-games such as rugby in cars, skittles and others, which can liven up the drab collection of customers and their subsequent delivery over time. If you are looking for some more sophisticated principles and realistic races, then look no further. But the primary focus on entertainment works perfectly. An arcade classic that didn't disappoint even on PC. Compared to the first part, everything here is also more sophisticated and varied.
