The game is actually a port of the PS2 version which was a port of the Dreamcast version. The PS2 version was a sloppy port with lower-quality textures and lower frame-rate than that of the Dreamcast version.
The game is very fun but like you said, if you have it on Dreamcast there is no reason to buy this version.

The longevity of this game is the main dowpoint to it in my eyes, and it never lasted for very long periods of times in my PS2. I partly blame the arcades for that, but it's a simple kind of game, without the massive depth. It's obviously not supposed to be, but it just lost its originality and fun after a mere few weeks. A good renter, that's for sure.

A good arcade game, I would say.
In fact I almost always play a game of it, when I'm at the arcade..
Should've stayed there..

Yeah, I always play it at Arcades, but it loses it's appeal for me without the cool Taxi you get to sit in...

Dreamcast ports really aren't much more than fan service. But I'd say Crazy Taxi is more a disservice. It's not a big deal to see some of the branded stores stripped bare, but the music really matters for Crazy Taxi. There's still fun to be had.
The essence of Crazy Taxi is still here and, at its core, this is still an enjoyable game. It just isn't going to satisfy anyone who cared at all for SEGA's final gaming console.
