Pros
Pro Fun mix of match-3 and RPG elements deepens the experience over a regular match-3 game
The gameplay mostly consists of typical tile matching, but is supplemented with items that you can acquire and stats you can upgrade. This resembles role playing game mechanics, giving some depth to the match-3 gameplay.
Pro Randomly generated gameplay keeps the game fresh on each playthrough
All tiles in the game are randomly generated upon appearance, making for a constantly changing game that can not be anticipated. This allows each session of the game to be unique in the fact that the layout of the tiles will always be different and unanticipated.
Pro Does not require internet access to play, which is great for when there is no connection to be had
10000000 does not require internet access to play once installed, making for a good game to play when there is no internet around.
Pro Great as a time-waster thanks to the design of the short round gameplay
10000000 has gameplay that is easy to pick up and play for a few rounds. It's not too deep, but engaging enough to be a fun distraction. Great for short sessions in between other tasks.
Pro Android port retains the original music, which may brings back nostalgia for those familiar with the original title
For a port to hold onto it's music licenses is pretty much unseen now a days but luckily Crazy Taxi still has all of the original tracks found in the Dreamcast version (featuring music from Bad Religion and Offspring).
Pro Simple and intuitive touchscreen controls allows the game to be easy to pick up and play
For a ported game, the controls are very simple. There are 4 buttons - one for drive, one for reverse, and one each for left/right steering. Double tapping on the drive button launches you off with very high acceleration, and double tapping the left/right buttons starts a drift. These controls are simple, and very easy to get used to.
Pro Mini-games extend the content to the game and give the player something to do when they are tired of the main quests
Mini games, such as taxi bowling adds more to the game, and helps justify the $5 price for an old Dreamcast port. In total, there are 16 of these mini games. Having a good number of mini games to pick from, allows the player something extra to do, if they ever get tired or bored of the mainline missions.
Pro Fun map to drive on thanks to the sheer size on offer and the amount of locations available
There is an assortment of locations to drive in, thanks to the large size of the open-world map and the large assortment of locations you can drive through.
Pro Pretty easy to find a controller to control the game with as the title has very solid controller support
Crazy Taxi supports all HID controllers, such as the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers, as well as SHIELD and [MOGA controllers](MOGA controller support). This way there should be little issue with finding a controller to work with this title.
Cons
Con Main adventure is short
On average, the game can be completed in about 5 hours, and while there's an endless mode, the lack of true progression in it is a strong deterrent.
Con Expensive for Android
Con Graphics look dated
Considering that the game is fifteen years old (as of 2014), the graphics do look a bit dated when compared to other high end games on Android. These graphics are untouched direct ports from the Dreamcast.
Con Very touchy controls
Tapping on the steering buttons is a janky affair. One quick tap turns your taxi a lot, and it can be very hard to control your driving using the touchscreen controls. Thankfully, there are other options - in the settings you can change the controls to tilt which is a bit better although sometimes not sensitive enough - or if you have a MOGA controller you should probably use that as it's closest to the original joystick controls.
