Hope this gets an Android release.
Don’t see why most titles get Ios first.
Come on Sega pull your finger out!
So console/pc re-releases gets the PSP soundtrack while the iOS gets the original soundtrack…. urgh
There was money to license the music on the version with the shit controls?
Okay, I never, NEVER really get mad at a company for anything, but if Sega releases this on iOS and does NOT patch the 360/PS3/PSP game with the original soundtrack I’m going to be seriously pissed. That’s not right. I grew up with the offspring soundtrack on the Dreamcast and playing the PS3 version is like be like playing Jet Set Radio with some new, crappy techno.
the positive thing is that Sega recently moved from crappy/half-decent ports to good ports; if you look at the quality of JSR and SA2 (and Nights) compared to the earlier DC ports, the difference is stunning. Perhaps this Crazy Taxi port was done differently too.

The actual trailer makes it look outstanding. I’m open to tilt controls, so I’d love to try it out.
Also, Android version is confirmed, but no date yet. My phone won’t do it justice, but I hope to get a tablet someday and will have an Ouya once those ship.
I think the real question here is “Will we be able to Limit Break with touch controls?”
Ok we got the original soundtrack, but are KFC and Pizza Hut (and Levi’s, etc) back?
