Which Sega game has the fruity replay commentary?

This weekend my brother came to visit, and we started hashing through various amusing games of mine. I remembered that I was going to show him one game that has an over-the-top gay announcer (effeminate, at least) making comments during the replays.

I was just certain that I was remembering Sega Touring Car championship for Saturn, so I dug out the crate of "2nd tier Saturn games"--the ones that don't get played often enough to justify shelf space.

I played and played, and could not find any announcer commentary at ALL. Well, I'm sure it was a Sega racing title, since I have the memory associated with replay. So I proceeded to play though Daytona (no), Daytona CCE (no), 32X VR Deluxe (no), Daytona 2001 (no), Outrun 2 (no), Sega Rally -- sort of.
Sega Rally has a hybrid gay/ Jamaican (gamaican?) guy saying a few things at the start of the replays, but that's not what I was thinking of. I then dug out Virtua Racing for Saturn from the nth tier (games you're ashamed to be associated with) just to double check. No dice.

So now I'm stuck. I was sure it was a racing game of some sort, but now I'm uncertain. I'm almost 100% positive it is a Sega product, probably on a Sega platform. It has to be of Saturn's generation or newer. Whatever it is, I definitely remember it had some fairly lisping dude popping in routinely to offer criticism.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

Super Monkey Ball.

Crazy Taxi had a Wolfman Jack sound-sort-of-like as the announcer. That was a Dreamcast game, though:



HEY HEY, COME ON OVER, HAVE SOME FUN WITH CRAAAAZY TAXI! *ahem*

I am now reminded of how much I cannot stand the horrible music in Crazy Taxi. I think I may have even sold the game for that reason. I hate licensed music because 99% of the time they pick the worst stuff out there.

I liked the music in Crazy Taxi, but less so in the sequels.

It wouldn't be a problem if there were more than like 3 licensed songs in the game. Unless you're a huge fan of The Offspring and Bad Religion, Crazy Taxi gets real old real fast.

YA YA YA YA YA!

That's the song that makes me want to murder someone. Jerry coeurl is correct in that there should be more than 3 or 4 songs. Burnout Paradise did it right by offering a shit ton of songs and letting you decide which ones you want to play or not or letting you play your own songs.

Keep in mind that "Crazy Taxi" was originally a coin-op, one made to suck quarters from players unless you were really good. Most probably never got to hear all 4 songs.

Playing it at home though.............gets old REALLY fast.

I like the sequels better, as they added that much needed jump ability.

Pretty sure it has seven songs, guys.

Only four of the songs play in-game. Small portions of two other songs are used (and looped) during the menu and Taxi select screens, and the last one is only played during the credits, which you get by placing 20th or higher.

I know, I'm a big fan of hyperbole. Still, not much of a difference between 3 songs and 7 songs when they're all 2:30 - 3:00 long.

The game itself is only 10:00 long, really.

Heh, I wouldn't know. I get sick of The Offspring after about 5 minutes and put a different game in!

I like Crazy Taxi, but there really feels like there's only about 3 songs in the game.

DAY AFTER DAY KNOW I LIKE THE WAY, THE POWER THE FEE JUST BREATHES DOWN YOUR NECK YOU GET NORMALLY YOU GREEN ALKALI YOU PLAY BY THE RULES NOW THEIR TURN TO DRIVE.

The music does get in your head though after playing it all those years, lol.

It took the longest time to figure out what the announcer in Sega Rally was saying half the time. I'm almost positive he says MEDIUM RIGHT...Maybe.

I'm thinking it was Ferrari: F355. The over the top 80's style DJ was just about annoying, but it fit in with the retro metal sound track.

I think Crazy Taxi was the first Sega arcade game to feature the word 'fuck', too.

I can get an S-rank with no hassle at all :cool: - it's the AWESOME! rank that's tricky.

I think Crazy Taxi 2 has "shit" in it.

No, I'm not talking about the game either, surprisingly.
