As you complete a series of 12-minute &#8220;shifts,&#8221; which are the game\u2019s campaign chapters, you earn cash to upgrade your taxi and company, slowly dismantling TaxiBot Corp&#8217;s stranglehold on the city. Of course, as the day progresses, H.A.N.K. gets more aggressive, deploying tougher enemies like &#8220;TaxiTanks&#8221; and blocking off routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the implementation is a bit tongue-in-cheek, so it doesn&#8217;t take itself too seriously, which is good, although I wish the voice acting was just a touch more enthusiastic. As it is, it&#8217;s not quite as fun as it could be due to both that and some of the pacing. With that said, despite a bit too much repetition, I did appreciate the attempts at humor, even if they were nothing inventive or laugh out loud funny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visuals and audio: Nostalgic and simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Visually, it reminds me a lot of the Sega Dreamcast version of Crazy Taxi, although with simpler texture work, which is hardly a compliment. There&#8217;s also a bit of polygonal pop-in here and there, along with frame rate stutters, which I found odd. In short, if you&#8217;re looking for a graphically rich title, Taxi Chaos 2 is not it. Its visuals are more nostalgic than modern. I usually don&#8217;t mind that, but in this case, I think more ambition in this area would have helped elevate the overall experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05-2026020121383600-A4D3B092E72D245F1FAF1985512D1480.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Taxi Chaos 2 (Nintendo Switch)\" class=\"wp-image-192000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05-2026020121383600-A4D3B092E72D245F1FAF1985512D1480.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05-2026020121383600-A4D3B092E72D245F1FAF1985512D1480.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05-2026020121383600-A4D3B092E72D245F1FAF1985512D1480.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05-2026020121383600-A4D3B092E72D245F1FAF1985512D1480.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05-2026020121383600-A4D3B092E72D245F1FAF1985512D1480.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taxi Chaos 2 (Nintendo Switch)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The audio is similarly toned down.

While Taxi Chaos 2 might be worth adding to your library at a deep discount, particularly since there&#8217;s no easy way to get a Crazy Taxi title on modern systems &#8211; at least until Sega&#8217;s promised reboot comes out &#8211; it&#8217;s hard to recommend at its present price point for what&#8217;s on offer. Still, if you&#8217;re a Crazy Taxi fan, you at least have an option for a somewhat fun fix until something better comes along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Score: 6 <\/strong>(out of 10)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n[<a href=\"https:\/\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/review-scale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Armchair Arcade and fullSTEAMahead365 review scale<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is Taxi Chaos 2 worth the ride?
