Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller (クレイジータクシー 3 ハイローラー), known simply as Crazy Taxi: High Roller in the arcades due to Crazy Taxi 2 being a Dreamcast exclusive, is a Sega Chihiro arcade game released in 2003. It has since been ported to the Xbox and Windows PCs.
The game was originally announced as Crazy Taxi Next, and was meant to have online multiplayer and an in-game day/night cycle. These elements were then dropped project was re-worked into Crazy Taxi 3.

Gameplay
Crazy Taxi 3 is similar to its predecessors, so much so that some levels are identical (though have received a slight graphical update). The main part of the game takes place in "Glitter Oasis", modelled loosely on Las Vegas, and contains four new drivers not seen in previous installments.
