The difficulty/traffic settings are in the options menu.
Yeah, I just looked and I see the difficulty settings now. I know I didn't say you had to play on medium difficulty but if you can upload a new score playing on medium, that would be great. I just want to be fair.

Like I said above, I did't even know there were difficulty settings but I'll be sure to specify next time.

That score will put you in 3rd place, nice job. Please let me know the info I need to make you a player profile (I mentioned it in a previous post).

The default traffic/difficulty level is 4/8. I will play again on this setting but should point out this makes scores even higher. Raising the difficulty lessens the time awarded per customer and more traffic on the road amplifies the aforementioned.

Although I will post my new score and video, I would ask you to withdraw my Crazy Taxi entries from this competition as I think I have too much experience with this game compared to other entrants. A player that is too dominant can be off-putting for others so I am happy to give way. It was not my intention to unerve other players and I apologise if I did so.

Oh, I thought the score was increased by the higher difficulty. I must have misunderstood what you said in your original post. In this case, I will accept your score.

No, that's alright. You are already entered so I'm going to keep you in there. You're really good at it, so you deserve to at least win one of the Crazy Taxi competitions. I'm sure I'll have another in the future. If you choose not to enter that one, that's fine.

relatively pointless I know but heres the highest score I could get, I have only just started using the crazy dash, literallly just learned it to try and compete but nevermind, it seemed to make me drive even worse!! So here it is

I've been playing with the difficulties all set to the lowest lol, maybe thats why mine is so low by comparison, I might up it for one go and see how my score goes

Not pointless, you moved back to 3rd from 4th so that's good.

given more time I could've beaten Mazo, but no way would I beat that crazy license score!! question, youv'e got barry bapz above me and the other guy, shouldn't it be RJAY, Maz then me on the overall list? Or are you working that out differently?

While I don't wanna sound like a sore looser, because hey, if your better at it then your better, I can't argue that. But if there's someone who knows all the wonderful tricks of the game such as the dash, the boost and the drifting etc and who's gonna get a ridiculous score on Crazy Taxi everytime I probably won't put the time in trying to improve my score if we do a competition for CT1 again, sorry I don't wanna sound like a big baby but its obvious he's gonna win everytime! No offense, i mean its awesome you know how to play the game that well, just means its all pretty academic lol and it saves me staying up until gone 1am in the morning again

Yeah, you're right. Don't know why that's messed up. I'll correct it.

You can choose whatever avatar you like for me as long as it is not obscene. I own Sega Bass Fishing and Soul Calibur on the DC. Not that it counts but I have the XBOX version of Hydro Thunder (Midway Treasures 3).
