+Balrog OK it's time for the next comment commentary episode on the Balrog Review Marathon!...And for once I don't have to see a side video before the review! YAY! I mean I liked doing it, but there were a lot of times I just wanted to ignore them and get on with the episode...and I did for some parts anyway....Well that's enough talking for now. Let's begin the review of crAZY TAXI 2! LET'S GO! After the "CRAZY" review:....and the rise of your rival begin......... The review both funny and awesome as usual! with much emphesis on the CRAZY stuff in the game...and with the constant puns your making....it's no wonder wario was giving you the EVIL LOOK!...if that's what you were going for in those moments. And of course all your other skits are pretty halarious and well done as they always were, with the 2 skits I mentioned earlier on when you were a kid "Politely" asking your parents for Crazy Taxi 2 on gamecube to you losing it as I, All from 1:16 to 1:39, but....(Thinking your big mistake in 1:24)...dude..that wasn't the smartest thing to do.......why would you do that....but then again you were excited so I understand that kind of excitement so...I don't blame ya. And the parts where the professor comes out to give us the Crazy Taxi 2 crash course (from 6:32), then you falling asleep, which leads you go him hurting you...which could have given you a migraine if that was real (Both from 8:07) is pretty halarious, and in general it was nice to have the professor, a character we haven't seen sense the nintendo 101 days, as someone who taught us something...it was pretty cool...and funny and informative too. Thanks for that..now I know what to do if I ever play CRAZY TAXI 2! To the part where, on 11:54, you show us the "Crazy Claw" but oh my gosh! Sorry that happened to your hand bro! I know the feeling.....and now that I think about it...I don't think a hand aching situation ever happened in ANY of the past reviews till now huh? And the parts where Wario looks like he's, "Cursed" as you put it, And so much more...which now looking back at it while writing this comment, I don't think there were THAT much skits as most episodes...or mabey that's just me...I don't know. And the skit at the end where you almost gave up this path, then jerry warning you of what's at stake here, and at the end, your rival get's his "Tie" to have his powers, not going to spoil his name here for the sake of newcomers, about. And as for the other stuff in the review, it was pretty cool, funny, and informative, which also includes the Crazy Taxi 2 Crash course by the professor as mentioned earlier. With other moments like the fact Crazy Taxi 1 on home systems being 1 to 1 was pretty cool 3:59, to you showing the neo geo cards 4:06, some comparisons to rocket league, showing some of the glitches, to THIS part 3:13 which never stops on making me repeat it just for a gigle! how you showed the other features, and how you told us about all the other games and bad psp port, and so much more. It really is a nice review, I like it, it's funny and shows how crazy, and fun this game is...and how to best navigate through it, with the glitches that aren't THAT much of an issue. over all it's a good episode...and it got wario in the spotlight once again...though not exsactly in the way it was back in the old days I got to say...I mean you keep having wario appear all creepyly, if that's even a word, noting how creepy he is on how he moves and such in the past and now....which..honestly, I didn't like...it wasn't 1 to 1 like how you made wario in the previous series I felt like, and still feel like..and all the stuff jerry told you on 18:06....and while THESE clips here on 18:29 and the rest made me realise again on how your message on the negitivity in gaming now a days is happening and such is really bad and such...and I think your right....this show, with THIS sort of lesson taught in the way your doing it...is something I don't think I ever seen anyone do do before ever....EVER!..glad you came up with it. Wow this comment is crazy!...sorry it was THIS long of reading....Well Gotta go!.....For next time is the LAST review!.....though not the end of the marathon..see reply to know what I mean....OK See ya man!
P.S. After the review next week, you'd think I'd end this whole comment marathon there right?...not so!...I'm actually going to be viewing your OTHER two videos also every week like any other review..because in the thumbnails, that's what the pictures of each youtube video IS right? catagorizes them as ep. 4 & 5...so after months of thinking I think I'm going to do it..the marathon dosen't end until I rewatch thoughs two episodes because you catagorized them as cannon after ep.3 so unless you change something, or reply to this message saying they don't take place after ep.3 and come out with your next review and such...I'm going to stick with this decision...Ok Just wanted to let you know.....Thanks See ya next week for your most recent review thus far..See ya!
I love playing crazy taxi!! Here in AZ, we have a restaurant called san tan flats and they have a crazy taxi arcade machine. I loved playing it there!!
Honestly: I love the new format! It's your classic approach to reviewing games, but now with a bigger and far more impactful question & theme above that: How one can not only find but keep their appreciation for video games, somthing that's been on my mind for the past few years, really. And presenting that theme through these different "characters" interacting is just lovely. So, uhh, definitely keep this up!
Balrog, I'm so glad you're getting back into the swing of things. You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs by far, and I really missed having your videos around. I'm really, really looking forward to what you do next!
Your reviews are the best. They all aren't games I would play myself, but I feel like I get a good insight into games outside my realm. I feel like you are the Alton Brown of the gaming community on RUclips!
Yo Wallid real talk. I've been watching you almost since the beginning and it's amazing how far you've come. You're a real inspiration to someone like me who also makes videos in a similar vein to you. Keep up the good work bro.
Oh yes! I've been looking forward to this! The instance with the parents happened to me as well, although with Conker's Bad Fur Day. When I was showing her the box, I made sure to cover the whole "this game isn't suitable for anyone under 17" thing, but I just couldn't lie to her when she asked me what it was rated. Oh well. Loved the episode, man! I'm excited to see where the story goes next! Keep it up! :D
Take it from me, Swoosh, as a fellow game reviewer, some of the many things you are gonna need to make your dream review channel a reality are time, money, practice, and know-how.
"Two episodes in and the show hasn't been rebooted" Unlike me, he can actually go more than two episodes before rebooting his entire review series to fit his new choices.
It's really great to see how much Wallid has grown and improved over time. I'm really loving the reboot, man. I was never very good at Crazy Taxi, but that's okay...I can watch YOU be good at it.
the whole pessimistic view of games, music and everything we judge on a daily basis i think 100% leaks into real life and is a really unhealthy way of living. i got caught up in that when i was younger and can still happen to me now and again but ive change the way i view the world and i enjoy the things i love again!. thanks balrog for being a human and actually thinking about this sort of thing! you are awesome !
I’m about four years too late, but great video! I recently bought a Dreamcast, and holy crap is the library absolutely stellar. I have a few games on my wishlist and some already ordered from eBay, and the ones I have (Crazy Taxi, D2, TimeStalkers and Marvel vs Capcom) are addictive. I’ve spent the past week playing Crazy Taxi, trying to earn the S rank and master the games surprisingly deep mechanics: drifting, speed boost, maneuvering around traffic without crashing, and so on. I can’t wait for Crazy Taxi 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica and Grandia II to come in the mail so I can play them as well.
I did love both Crazy Taxi games on Dreamcast as a kid. Especially the sequel. Then I came to find the 3rd game and I've loved that one ever since, too. It's just too bad when you try any other version they don't have the original music. It feels so wrong to come into West Coast and not hear "All I Want" start blaring at you. But also I wish I'd known about the original cabbies being in Crazy Taxi 2, or the stroller car. Those are such awesome little secrets that I never saw until now. Damn my younger self for not being better at the Crazy Pyramid and Box.
Wow, balrog! Didn't know you had a time machine! Because you obviously came back in time after six months and uploaded this video now. (I'm onto you, balrog.)
I will be disappointed if you never say "Thanks other side of my brain!" or "Thanks nonexistent figment of my imagination!" with all of these Balrogs in this
I bought the original Crazy Taxi after watching this review. and it feels so good to play it again. I had the Gamecube version but I had to sell it because we needed money. Don't forget to get the original soundtrack for the Steam version. It's really worth it.
So there's Wario, the Professor, Kid Balrog, Subscriber Balrog, Bob Nintendo, and Jerry. But who's the Balrog in the suit and tie standing over regular Balrog when he's knocked out?
>Doesn't want a copyright claim
>Changes to Nintendo music
well okay then
+Snow Owl IT WORKED OKAY
XD
Balrog what song is it?
+Nacl777 Well he did do a Did You Know Gaming on Fire Emblem so there's that.
dr. mario game over music
too many wallids
more like not enough wallids
I know right, one was enough to deal with
getting shot in the dark
brutalmoose :)
I contacted your parents.
thanks i just got grounded, now my channel's dead again
Balrog they needed to know, strong language isn't acceptable
Balrog lol
This series is so fun for me, waited all week for this
It´s so old youtube styled but your own thing at the same time
Hey everyone, I need an extra day to make Ep.3 great! I'll see you tomorrow granted everything goes well. Thanks for your patience!!
I guess you're trying to make the video better than you said it was on twitter
Will it become great again?

This new series has so much polish and content in it! Absolutely love it!
2 episodes within a month?! what is this madness?
TheRedDrapion there's even gonna be one more next week :0
TheRedDrapion we all died and went to youtube heaven
I love the new art style, the new reviews and how you uncover lesser known games no one plays. Hope you make more episodes :D
I love playing crazy taxi!! Here in AZ, we have a restaurant called san tan flats and they have a crazy taxi arcade machine. I loved playing it there!!
tfw BGRA is lowkey video game Fight Club
Balrog is becoming the SiIvaGunner of game reviewers.
high quality game reviews
Matthew The Autism Guy *nice*
Honestly: I love the new format!

So, uhh, definitely keep this up!
balrog I don't know if your going to see this but I love your videos
Gotta say, I love your new format Wallid. Finally found your direction, and it's pretty cool.
Thank you!! Cant wait to show you all the stuff ive been planning :)
Awesome
Another review already? Wow! I really like how quick these new videos are coming out Balrog. Keep it up!
Balrog, I'm so glad you're getting back into the swing of things. You're one of my favorite RUclipsrs by far, and I really missed having your videos around. I'm really, really looking forward to what you do next!
This was great! I really like the direction you're taking with this series yo!
Your reviews are the best. They all aren't games I would play myself, but I feel like I get a good insight into games outside my realm. I feel like you are the Alton Brown of the gaming community on RUclips!
Yo Wallid real talk. I've been watching you almost since the beginning and it's amazing how far you've come. You're a real inspiration to someone like me who also makes videos in a similar vein to you. Keep up the good work bro.
Is it me or has balrog become even more weirder and crazier........
Two videos this close together??? What is this madness?
-Doesn't want to get Sega music copyrighted
-Proceeds to use Nintendo music
That's not Sega music, that's music from real-life bands...
And record companies like copyright strikes more than Nintendo...
This is one of my favorite videos from you. Great job!
I love your intro theme. It gets me pumped to watch
I must say... I enjoy the direction you have taken the channel.
Witty. Funny. And honestly kinda insightful. Nice to see content you're so excited about making. It really shows!
But sega was like hey... Hey Hey Hey (Me realizing ad had started: the ad actually had me thinking the video is still playing
Oh yes! I've been looking forward to this! The instance with the parents happened to me as well, although with Conker's Bad Fur Day. When I was showing her the box, I made sure to cover the whole "this game isn't suitable for anyone under 17" thing, but I just couldn't lie to her when she asked me what it was rated. Oh well.
Loved the episode, man! I'm excited to see where the story goes next! Keep it up! :D
AND THE FREAKING COOKING SOUND EFFECT AT THE END!!!! ERRGHHHH!!!! I CAN ALMOST SMELL A CONTACT REVIEW!!!!!
It feels good to have Balrog make videos again.
i honestly i love this guy he and somecallmejohnny are my inspirations i wanna have a review channel like them but i can't right now
Take it from me, Swoosh, as a fellow game reviewer, some of the many things you are gonna need to make your dream review channel a reality are time, money, practice, and know-how.
I definitely see Wallid being a total spazz as a kid.
Jokes on you, I'm your parents
Lord of Memes what a twist!
"Lord of Memes" Yeah that seems right.
0:12 Ever since it was revealed a bunch of old characters were coming back, this was the moment I was waiting for
Two episodes in and the show hasn't been rebooted? So far so good!
"Two episodes in and the show hasn't been rebooted"
Unlike me, he can actually go more than two episodes before rebooting his entire review series to fit his new choices.
Bro, this is really rad.
Keep doing this.
But give me more WA
Loving these new videos Balrog :) So worth the wait
Dood, these BGRA Reviews are awesome. I can't wait for more
I'm glad you uploaded the second video already!
If Wallid is gonna cover more DreamCast games, he should talk about Toy Commander. Now that was a game that was crazy.
anyone notice the money in the dreamcast crazy taxi is rings
You may be the hero RUclips needs. Thank you
It's really great to see how much Wallid has grown and improved over time. I'm really loving the reboot, man. I was never very good at Crazy Taxi, but that's okay...I can watch YOU be good at it.
the whole pessimistic view of games, music and everything we judge on a daily basis i think 100% leaks into real life and is a really unhealthy way of living. i got caught up in that when i was younger and can still happen to me now and again but ive change the way i view the world and i enjoy the things i love again!. thanks balrog for being a human and actually thinking about this sort of thing! you are awesome !
im so happy your back baltog
I saw a crazy taxi arcade machine in 2018 at an airport but sadly, I didn't play it because I had it on Xbox.
You really like that Break the Targets sound effect.
Crazy Taxi 2 Was one of my favorites for Dreamcast, this video made me so nostalgic.
loving the sketches.
My brother had crazy taxi on the GBA and I used to watch him play it for hours when we were younger
I’m about four years too late, but great video! I recently bought a Dreamcast, and holy crap is the library absolutely stellar. I have a few games on my wishlist and some already ordered from eBay, and the ones I have (Crazy Taxi, D2, TimeStalkers and Marvel vs Capcom) are addictive.

I can’t wait for Crazy Taxi 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica and Grandia II to come in the mail so I can play them as well.
So glad you're back!
Nice use of Cave Story music!
This series is definitely a great decision! I can't wait for anymore!
20:41 The birth of Creamy Memey Man.
Last time I was this early
It was still BNGR
I did love both Crazy Taxi games on Dreamcast as a kid. Especially the sequel. Then I came to find the 3rd game and I've loved that one ever since, too. It's just too bad when you try any other version they don't have the original music. It feels so wrong to come into West Coast and not hear "All I Want" start blaring at you.

Wow, balrog! Didn't know you had a time machine! Because you obviously came back in time after six months and uploaded this video now. (I'm onto you, balrog.)
I paused when the professor started talking.
the new intro feel like anime!!!
I will be disappointed if you never say "Thanks other side of my brain!" or "Thanks nonexistent figment of my imagination!" with all of these Balrogs in this
7:03 Yeah, no back talk or you'll only be getting a 9/10, mister!
omg balrogh's gonna end pessitism forever
I didn't see this video in my subscription feed. Thanks RUclips
This new series awesome so far! Also make another joshfest
i don't understand joshfest
I will create 5,000 fake accounts to get you to 100,000
"Oh gee, I wonder what the final score will be."
New BGRA already? Awesome!
The GameCube story was actually the funniest thing I've ever heard
I bought the original Crazy Taxi after watching this review. and it feels so good to play it again. I had the Gamecube version but I had to sell it because we needed money.
Don't forget to get the original soundtrack for the Steam version. It's really worth it.
As long as you're talking about Dreamcast games, I'd like to see Powerstone 2 get some love.
I knew it!
I knew that guy that Balrog couldn't see was going to be the bowtie guy!
That was quick.
psst, dont forget the after end-card scene
BGRA is my favorite anime.
2 Reviews in one week! ✌🏻️👏🏾
Sega should make a sequel/reboot called "Crazy Uber" 😂
So there's Wario, the Professor, Kid Balrog, Subscriber Balrog, Bob Nintendo, and Jerry. But who's the Balrog in the suit and tie standing over regular Balrog when he's knocked out?
I still need that damn X and Y review
Angry Videogame Blarog!
love it =D
Has it been 6 months already?
Hey +Balrog what's the song at 18:04
Great video balrog!
How about a Contact(the DS game) review? I heard his music on your video and would love a review!
Does anyone know if the WTC is in the game it is set in NYC and 2001
i actually got a wario like that at a thrift store
I'll be honest I was skeptical to this series at first but I've really warmed up to it.
I paused the video during the professor scene..... I am rebel.
Don't worry Balrog, I won't tell your parents.
May you do Crazy Taxi Mobile, next?
Do you have Crazy Taxi for Steam?
Random question, when will there be another Hidden Block podcast?
What about crazy taxi city rush?
WOW another video already! Does this mean you'll be uploading a new video each week?
No joke, I dressed as B.D. Joe for Halloween once (though I didn't go so far as to paint my skin). He is also my Mii of choice.
Nice use of "Quiet" from CS
What video cables are you using for your dreamcast? Vga?
Kudos on the Contact songs played :)
