ported games (was Re: Rockstar/Take 2 already thinking of GTA3: Miami?)

Good god, I don't see what all the hype over Crazy Taxi was/is--it's pure shit compared to GTA3...and most driving games, in fact. A better game (visually anyway) I'd like to see ported to the PC is Shenmue. Daniel Bateman wrote:

Crazy Taxi is stupid and obnoxiously immature. I didn't find it funny at all. The crappy vehicle control, way-too-wide field-of-view (like The Italian Job has), and fixed camera (no zoom levels or rotation or anything) make it a chore to play. "[CK]" wrote:

yeah, crazy taxi was only really any good for a quick game in the arcade, didnt really translate well onto home machines... "JM" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Crazy Taxi was much more fun arcade than console, IMO.
