Take a well-known game, keep the gameplay the same, then change the environment in which the game is set, and hey presto! a new(ish) game is born!
**CRAZY TAXI: COUNTRY 'N' WESTERN EDITION**
Swap the busy urban streets of San Francisco for the dusty roads of the Mid West American countryside.
Replace the inner-city customers with classic American country characters like hill-billies, cowboys & girls, Hell's Angels, Bible-bashing preachers, wacko UFO-spotters, horse whisperers, lumberjacks, silicon enhanced strippers and Klu Klux Klan members. - (Okay, maybe not KKK members)!
Introduce new customer destinations like farms and ranches, trailer parks, isolated gas stations, seedy motels, militia training camps, flower-power hippy retreats, strip joints and born-to-be-wild biker bars.
Short-cuts would include ploughing through swaying wheat fields, smashing through barns full of hay and doing Dukes of Hazzard-style corkscrew jumps over rivers.
Replace the yellow cabs with Stars&Stripes paint-job cadillacs.
Introduce dangerous elements like twisters, dust storms, runaway herds of buffalo and psycho 18 wheeler truck drivers.
Change the in-game music to twangy ("my woman left me and now this bottle of Jack Daniels is my only friend") country'n'western songs.
Keep the Crazy Taxi gameplay basically the same, and there you have it: 'Crazy Taxi: Country'n'Western Edition'.
An instant smash!
Oh yeah, and replace Axel, Gus & co with four new cabbies:
Cabbie 1: DUSTY - a shaven-headed, long-bearded (slightly off his rocker) hill-billy.
-Catch phrase: "Yeeee-hah!"
Cabbie 2: DOLLY - a gum-chewing, large-breasted peroxide blonde country girl.
-Catch phrase: "I'm all woman, baby!"
Cabbie 3: BOBBY SIXKILLER - a Native American wearing a black hat with a raven's feather in it.
-Catch phrase: "Woah! Woah! Woah! (Red Indian war cry).
Cabbie 4: MUNGO - a cowpie-eating, tobacco-spitting meathead.
-Catch phrase: "Ping!" (that's the sound of his spit hitting the bottom of a metal bucket).

Oh and I forgot, good post by the way. Especially the bit about silicon enhanced strippers!
Hey Cinnamon - guess who? I can't believe you've not sussed it yet! Look at the tagline! Yes it's me GJ! We're just round your house at the moment, and I'm on your PC as we speak. Nice wallpaper. So when you getting a PS2, as all I can see is that sad grey box, that Sega Dreampants thingy?
