Ok crazy taxi by sega was just announced for ios but there was no word of android ,this will really piss me off if sega really leaves android out of this great dreamcast port ,& I would not be surprised because we still dont have soul calibur & its been on ios for over 8months already ,but this will be sad & disrespectful to android users if were left out in the cold
I think we will be left out. There are quite a few quality games that android doesn't get and it's a shame

Let's hope. Don't forget Sega has been good to us android users of late. Every title (approx) this year has come out on both platforms. We also got football manager before IOS as well (makes a change) if jet set radio is coming to android there is a good chance this will too. Fingers crossed people. :fingers-crossed:

LOL was thinking that when i watched all 11 seconds of that video. Maybe its not but lets hope a better version of this comes out first.
Then we can play what we want
Well, instead of wondering if they will bring it; how about we ask them to do it on their official blog?
I already did my part. I want this on my XPlay!
Wouldn't surprise me. iOS has a much lower piracy rate. So blame the people who pirate every app and game they come across for Android.
I am even more sad now that I hear that this is going to release tomorrow ios only
Good news is that there will be an android version releasing soon just no word when

Source?
Well the source for this I got from Google itself many many websites state that an android version is also coming soon ,just Google (crazy taxi on android) just make sure your search tool is on past 24hrs and you will see lots of websites saying sega confirms an android version ,im not surprised android does take way longer to optimize games for since theres so many different android devices,but I really hope xperia play is not left out since buttons would be great for this game ,i hope they dont pull a nba 2k13 & have it for 4.0 & up only
Found it written on the official Sega blog so its 100% Yay
Awesome!
Includes the original soundtrack! :victory:
Guys, it's not coming to Android.
No source on this, just pure common sense. It's now May - nearly June - that's nearly 8 months.
It's obvious why...
Fragmentation. It's really hard to build a game that works on a myriad of resolutions, iOS only has 5 resolutions, and two of those are @2x, making it easy to optimse for them.
Piracy. It's so so so so SO much harder to pirate apps on iOS than on Android. Some devs literally 'give up' on Android, and it's a shame that there are so many inconsiderate people who ruin it for the rest of the crowd.
It's harder. Apple has made sure to create really good tools for it's developers. Google's tools are intuitive, but nowhere near as intuitive as Apple's.
Overall, it's a shame. I really looked forward to having Crazy Taxi on the Nexus 7, but I guess that;s not happening.
making an ios app is much harder than making an android app
dont speak like that
android is best operating system for mobile phones and tablets
ios is just a tiny closed source os thati cant even get it on my hand for 5 mins

First of all I hope this is in the right section.
I was hoping to find some awesome music/rythym games later in the Android Market.
Well, it's been about over a year since Android was released, and I still see a lack of good rythym games!
My request is for a developer to try their best and create a well-designed music game, hopefully using our own music from the SD card..
That would be awesome!

Guitar Hero mobile for Android wasn't exactly the best experience I've had.
I have been asking for this game to come to Android since I got my G1. Mainly looking for the NIN Edition!
http://tapulous.com/
Even sent them a request, but so far nothing has come of it. I recommend everybody request it, If there is enough support they might port it.

Can't post links yet, but this is the original thread starting from last year, stating that if theres enough demand, they'll try to port it.
some of you may have played it before but this is a steam game called Audiosurf
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTZTPdDW7PM
a game like this would be awesome on the nexus... basically it produces a unique track based off of each song for that song and its a sort of tetris game where you have to match the blocks up and such... was well worth 10 dollars on steam when it first dropped, i had countless hours of obsessed fun on the thing

In the mean time, I found this:
http://code.google.com/p/tapsoffire/
Somebody mentioned it in this thread already, but I searched the market for it, but it didn't appear. It probably wasn't designed for the Nexus so it didn't show up, but there is a Droid version available from the Google code page. Free and open source!
One of the best music games is Taps of Fire. I have it installed, I recommend others to download this app too, only bad thing is having to hit the notes a little early, but its fine.
Hi all, just signed up here, have been browsing around for a while.
I was thinking that LocoRoco or a LocoRoco like game would be ideal for any phone with a Gyroscope or Accelerometer; of which there are many.
I thought that LocoRoco would be ideal as it would not require any hardkey mapping, as the game, which is originally a PSP title, only uses the L and R keys to tilt the screen left and right. (Which could possibly be duplicated by tilting the phone left and right)
Unfortunately I have no developing skills so I would be useless if it came to helping with the development of it.
I searched to see if there had been any other interest in LocoRoco coming to Android or Windows Mobile, and fair to say there were 1or2 threads dating back to 2008-2009, but neither of which attracted a lot of attention.
Sorry I couldn't add a link to the game, new user restrictions
thanks, andy.
There's a very good chance we'll see PSP games in the Android Market sometime soon
Oh, that's good to hear
thanks

It's just speculation at the moment but rumour is the PSP2 will be a Phone, an Android phone at that, so they can compete better with the DS. It's a solid rumor, gone back ages and the Android link comes from Sony's new relationship with google and... let's face it, It's gonna be a smart phone if it does happen and they're not going to pick Symbian over Android especially after the success of the X10.
I don't think they'd scap their digital distribution they got started with the PSP Go, especially because each "PSP Phone" would have 3G. So it would either be a dedicated market just for PSP games or they would distribute them throughout the Android Market.
Who knows, perhaps the "PSP Phone" isn't a specific handset but them distributing via several on the android market (assumption would be they're locked only to SE phones but I'm sure this could be overcome).
Hate to say I told you so

Because they have no way to block it from showing up on the Market to a crippled Tablet running Froyo. 1 star the Android market for not allowing them to block your device completely. 1 star Samsung for probably never giving you Honeycomb which supports the "xlargescreen" in the Manifest.
The Android market is targeted at phones. Not tablets.
You know all that talk about fragmentation? Galaxy Tab (not a real tablet) users and HTC Wildfire (no GPU) users that 1 star apps because of their crippled phones screw with the ratings, thus making the fragmentation idea that developers have keeping them from developing for Android.
Yeah games are also about gameplay too. One-starring something because it doesn't work in the first place is not a proper review.
People affected should not even click on the ratings. They should email straight to the developer for support.

I remember playing this game on my iPod classic a few years back, thanks for the heads up
As a developer (one free game in the market so far) and an avid Android user I must say I'm inclined to side with Ashvsaod. One star is a bit harsh - maybe 2 or 3 tops is more suitable but I understand him nevertheless.
As a developer, if you can't make it work, you should at least point out in the description that it doesn't work with tabs, period. Even more so in a 7 bucks game!
But to be honest I don't think it's that hard to make it work either. My game supports 2.1 and up and it works full screen on the tab (there was basically one programmer working on it for a few months in his spare time - so it ain't the complicated). Even without the xlarge tags you can still query the screen size in the code and make adjustment. I don't think it's justified to blame the platform for their inability to make it work.
But that's besides the point. The main point is that ff a damn expensive app doesn't work on Tabs (which are a rapidly growing chunk of the android sales) it should be mentioned clearly.
Nice to see some bigger developers pushing out games for Android for once and not sticking with the iStuff
The ratings and comments should be used for reviews not bug reports.
I bought it for the sole fact that I can hope to see more, and hopefully original games from them on Android!

Nonsense, handling screen scaling is _trivial_ under android and has been since 1.6. Absolute sizing is just lazy iPhone-like development. Failing to take into account the best practices of the platform if precisely what low-star scores are for.

I suppose this is valid. However, I opt to contact the developer first before lamenting in a Reviews section that not a lot of them may care to review due to emotionally charged ratings anyway.
I've had a ton of success by contacting the devs. They're usually so courteous and modest, as well as thankful that I actually advised them of a bug as opposed to just leaving negative feedback. I've left only a few legit 1 stars before and retracted emotionally charged ratings in lieu of contacting the developer. So far, no one has ever turned me down. And I admit that a couple of bug reports were sent with an admittedly douchy tone as well lol
Huh?
This game seems pretty bad.
Terrible reviews from critics:

Square Enix is great, but this game seems awful. And it's over $7.

Think it would make more sense to compare it the mobile version of the game on a similar platform. Like the version on iPhone: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crystal-defenders/id300186798?mt=8
It has 4 stars there as rated by users which I believe is more telling than reviews of the game on a home console. I believe the attitudes of users playing this game on a phone would make more sense than the attitudes of people that are playing a mobile game on a home console.

(Those reviews are for 360, PS3 and Wii ports of an iphone game - of course they don't get fantastic scores!)
I played it on the Wii and did not enjoy it much, but yea, I guess it could be good on a mobile platform.
why do gameloft games comes after 3 or 4 months after it came for iphone?? android phones have more powerful hardware than iphone..sometimes when i search for gameloft games for android..the iphone ones show up and there are so many amazing gameloft games for iphone which havent released in android like "sacred of odyssey" "shadow guardian" "nova 2" "dungeon hunter 2" "eternal legacy" "star battalion" "asphalt 6" "hero of sparta 2"....why so much hate towards android will we get those games any sooner? is there anything we can do to get them soon?
Lets face it, they have a huge fan boy following. Hell even the media it's biased towards apple, so of course they are going to cater. Their app market it's also bigger, giving them more competition, no matter how useless some of them are. That and from what I hear, doing know the truth of it because I don't know how to crack, android apps are easier to pirate. Kind of annoying, but then I sit and look how much freedom I have with my phone, and it makes me feel so much better. If phone were sociopolitical movements, iphones would be communism and android the free world

Yep. iPhony devs only have one primary OS to deal with, whereas Android is often customized by carrier, phone model, region and version meaning devs have to work way harder at developing on it.
ReRave is a new music game that just launched for iOS, and is quickly gaining steam and will soon be out for android. If your a fan of dance dance revolution, in the groove, stepmania etc, you'll love ReRave. Here are some links to check it out.

Yeah they are working on it right now. Didnt take them too long to finish the iOS one so hopefully it will be out soon. I've got it on my iPod and its awesome, cant wait to play on my X with that big ass screen lol.
In the meantime, you can always play "beats" in Osu mode which is pretty similar since both games are based on "Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan" (known as "Elite Beat Agents" in the US/EU).
I'm glad to see ReRave being ported on android, and it will probably be a decent game, but the guys behind this game (Kyle Ward and Chris Foy) are really fun : They created In The Groove which was a copy of Dance Dance Revolution, got sued by Konami and lost the rights to the game.
A few years later what do they do ? a new original game ? No... They just create a new company and copy another game
I just hope they finish the Android version before they get sued by Nintendo or iNiS
We've got this covered though, with a patent and whatnots.
The android port won't take too long, just some iOS specific code needs to be rewritten.
Yes, I helped work on the game (I'm one of the graphics dudes ;D )
Good news then, thanx !
Looks like it could be fun
