Safety Information
About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when
exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that
may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of
seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause
these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheaded-
ness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or
legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures
may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to
injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting
farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, play-
ing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, con-
sult a doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction
Manual contains important health and safety information that you
should read and understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including
Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the
normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a per-
manent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when
video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from stat-
ic images created when placing a video game on hold or pause.
Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can
be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in
the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer
to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public per-
formance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is
strictly prohibited.
The backup files (System and Replay) of this game can only be saved
on Xbox’s internal hard disk unit. Never turn off the Xbox console while
saving the file. Note also that this game does not support the memory
unit (sold separately).

Angel is only eighteen. He generally
relies on his instincts, which can
often get him in trouble because
he doesn’t think about the
consequences of his actions.
His motto in life is “you only live
life once, so enjoy it.” Whenever he
isn’t enjoying life, he spends his time
thinking about what he can do to
enjoy it. This makes him a very positive
person, but perhaps also a little
too self-focused.
Since he only thinks of enjoying life to
the fullest, he does some rather crazy
things. His friends may sometimes get
a call from him at 3:00am in the
morning, asking if they want to go
party, or go swim in the ocean.
Despite his crazy antics, Angel’s
friends find it hard to hate him,
because whenever he wants to
have fun, he at least always
considers his friends.
One of his friends once
asked why he worked as a
taxi driver. His response was,
“It’s a fun way to make a
buck. And if I’m not happy, then hey, I’m in a car, so I can
go find some fun.”
Angel’s driving technique is superb, and he truly enjoys the thrill of driving,
making his job an essential part of his life.

Here’s a guy who’s truly fascinated with speed.
His biggest thrill is trying to see how fast he can go.
It’s when he’s pushing himself and his car to the
limit that he feels alive.
Honestly, most people who bump into him think
he’s quite ordinary. “Hey, that guy seems a bit
unfriendly,” or “that guy seems to have a lot on
his mind” is the impression people get when
they try to strike a conversation with him. In
truth, he’s just storing up his energy for the next
speed thrill.
Although he’s a taxi driver, Bixbite once had the
opportunity to go into racing. When he was 20
years old, he had 10 sponsors trying to scout him
due to his insane skills. He realized then, that he
could be successful, but that it would cost him his
privacy. He often debated whether or not he
should go into racing until one day, his circuit
buddies talked about ‘Crazy Drivin’ in the
West Coast.
That’s when Bixbite decided to become a taxi
driver. The thrill of pushing the limit, being able to
do things you couldn’t on the race track, and
making money. Now that was exciting!
Mrs. Venus is a funky mother
who supports seven kids and
a husband.
To say that Mrs. Venus is cheerful
is an understatement. She loves
being happy, and loves making
other people happy. She’s the
breadwinner of the family, and
the only thing that she loves as
much as her family is her job.
Her job as a taxi driver allows her to meet
all sorts of people. She feels that it is her
job to not only get people to their
destination, but to make them feel good
about themselves. There doesn’t seem to
be anyone who gets in depressed, who
doesn’t feel at least a little better once
they’ve been with Mrs. Venus.
Her love of driving came from her father,
who was a stunt driver. It was because of
him that she acquired her mad driving
skills. Her favorite quote is, “It’s my destiny
to become the best taxi driver, and to do
that, I need make everyone happy.”
We think there’s no one better suited to
making everyone happy than Mrs. Venus.

love in life is his car. Along with his
rough demeanor is an attitude that
he never makes any mistakes, and
that he’s always right. If you tell him
that he’s wrong, he’ll probably get
in your face.
He loves driving his vehicle 24 hours
a day, and that’s the reason why
he works as a taxi driver. He
maintains his car by himself and he
is actually renowned for his hydraulic
techniques. Lots of guys have visited
him in hopes of learning from him, but
he usually gets impatient and kicks them
out before they learn anything.
Only once in his life has Zax actually
been kind. When an elderly man who
poured out his heart to him asked to learn
his technique in hydraulics, he consented.
That was the first and last time he ever
taught anyone his prized technique.
A footloose, fancy-free kinda guy, there’s nothing that
can stop Axel when he gets mad.
When he was ten years old, he experienced his
first taxi ride. The driver came in full throttle
before braking right in front of him. After he
hoped in the taxi, it did a jack rabbit start
and kept burning rubber, even when it wasn’t
on the road. After the taxi had jumped from
the top of a trailer, it took a few minutes for
him to realize that he’d arrived at his
destination. After he was dropped off, the taxi
took off immediately, but Axel was still in awe.
It was at that moment that he realized that
being a cabby was cool! Now he drives a
1960 model cruisemobile and entertains his
passengers as a taxi driver.
When he isn’t driving, he likes to go surfing,
snow boarding, playing in a band as a bassist
and vocal backup as well as girl hunting. Due
to his explosive nature, bands usually kick him
out, and girls dump him.
Still, he is refreshingly frank, and he’s generally
a cheerful kind of guy. The only problem is that
he enjoys picking a fight without any reasons.

A born performer, and cheery kind of
guy, that’s B.D. Joe.
As a cabby, he “entertains people in his
own way.” He loves to entertain his
passengers with both this driving and narrative
skills. Besides being a talented taxi driver, he’s
a great street performer. Just give him a
garbage can lid and an oil drum, and he can
create great rhythms. He’s often asked why he
doesn’t perform professionally. He usually just
laughs off the compliments and says “making
people smile is reward enough for me, and
‘sides, cabbing is too much fun to give up!”
Recently he’s been seen trying to learn
card tricks.
The words “cool” and “sexy” describe Gena
to a “T.” A born car lover, she just loves to
cruise around in a car all day. She really
doesn’t care if her passengers enjoy her
driving or not. She loves going fast, and
shows great talent. When asked why she
doesn’t try racing, she replied, “I love the
unexpected. You can’t get that with
racing. But you can get the unexpected
when you’re in my profession.”
When Gena isn’t driving her car, she’s
working on it. In fact, she spends
nearly all her time and money
performing extensive tune-ups. While
many men have tried to pursue her,
she feels she doesn’t have time for
them, and leaves them in the dust.

The originator of the “Crazy” taxi style, he maintains a
cool composure.
In his youth, Gus was a wild and uncontrollable hooli-
gan, selfish to a fault. He hated to lose and always
had to be #1 at any cost. With a strong fascination
for all things new, Gus was naturally drawn to
unique trends. It was when he was riding in a
normal taxi that he had a flash of inspiration
and bought an old junked out 1955 jalopy. And
thus began the crazy taxi trend. Recently, Gus
can be found playing cards. When the work day
ends, he meets with his poker buddies (whose
members change nightly) to play poker, black-
jack, and baccarat. One nice thing that Gus took
from gambling was learning that he didn’t have to
always win. In this respect, Gus had become a
better person.
He has a bilateral character who is nihilistically cool and
mad. That's Slash. He's usually cool. Someone who
doesn't know him well may say that, “He is just a
rude young man.” However the guy who knows
him well says that, “He is always kind and takes
care of his friends so he is considered a leader.”
That sounds like he is always with his friends,
however the fact is that they are afraid of him
because he can easily get out of control.
Nobody can stop him when he is mad. Everyone
around him becomes an enemy, and anyone
who approaches him when he is angry must either
be a brave soul or a complete idiot. Most people in
town know that he will do a really good job and
make the passengers feeling great with his Crazy
driving if nobody gets on his nerves, therefore he is
one of the most popular Crazy drivers in town. In spite
of his character, many people are taking his Taxi
because of his first class driving technique. You want to
know why he became a Taxi driver, don't you? Nobody
has the guts to ask him about it. Many people guess
that he became a taxi driver on a mere whim.

An icy look, and a hint of madness,
that’s Iceman.
He always keeps things curt. He doesn’t talk
much, and his answers are brief, even when
given compliments. It just seems like he
doesn’t show any interest in anything.
However, if he’s given a complaint, he gets
rather ticked. His attitude is that he can do
anything, and that if there’s a mistake, it must have
been an unusual coincidence that caused it. Given
his rather quirky personality, it’s hard to imagine
how he became a taxi driver. It all started when he
picked up an elderly hitchhiker and gave him a
lift. With his crazy driving and the hitchhikers
pointers, he made an impression. The next day,
his car was yellow. And that’s how he became
a taxi driver. Oh, and he lives a fairly
comfortable life with his pet dog BB (Boxer).
A sharp dresser and optimistic person,
that’s Cinnamon.
She believes in positive thinking and is a
veritable optimist. The only problem with this is
that her positive thinking isn’t always a good
thing. For example, if she gets into a bad
situation, instead of thinking about how to
improve for the future, she just thinks that she
was fine, and that it was the fault of others that
caused the problem, not herself, when it
possibly could have been.
She’s also very forgetful, which makes her seem
a little dim-witted. But because of her honest
and serious attitude, her friends are always there
for her.
She gets very happy when she gets
compliments. Earning praise is her “joy in life.”
The reason she chose this job was to meet
people and entertain them. She pushes her
driving skills to the limit to do so, but sometimes
that winds her up into a lot of trouble.
