The Simpsons: Road Rage

This game is fun, but not one I would buy, mainly because its fun but can get a little old. I played this game for PS2 and I found that the graphics were good, but cartoonish type good not realistic good. Probably the best part of playing Simpsons Road Rage was all the characters' voices, pretty much all major simpsons characters are here (except I couldn't find- Cletus, Lenny and Carl, Jimbo Jones, Patty or Selma, but pretty much all of Springfield is there..)All in all, this is a great rental game for any Simpsons fan..

This game is awful. I bought it with a gift certificate and I must say, it was barely worth the trip to the store. I played it 5 or 6 times the first week I had it to give it a chance, and have not played it since. Just as with all Simpsons products, the game feels like it was put together overnight. There's even a repeated bit of audio that should be Krusty's voice but it is someone totally different. Thank god the show is still going somewhat strong. Spend your money on the DVD's, not this.

This game followed close the the TV show. You basically have to do Taxi missions with the Simpson cast. It has most of the original cast and some funny parts. I really got a good idea what springfield looked like from the game. The rewards were a little outrageous to get, but other than that it was great. What would have made it better was if you was able to get out of the cars. Of course that will be in Hit and Run.

The Simpsons: Road Rage is a quite good game. It has some flaws, but redeeming qualities as well.

Characters- Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa, the whole enchilada of characters from classic animated show The Simpsons

Plot- Basically Crazy Taxi, Simpsons style.

Animation- Good for 2001, not that special looking for today's standards.

Sound- Average. Not bad, not good.

If you like The Simpsons and/or Crazy Taxi, definitely play this game. You will most certainly like it. Otherwise, give it a whirl if you can find it cheap, but other than that don't play it.

8.5/10 or: B

Simpsons Skateboarding and Wrestling were both novelty games parodying successful genres, and Road Rage wasn't much different. Here, however, Crazy Taxi is the game being parodied. Pretty weird since Crazy Taxi was just an arcade-y game not really rooted in any specific genre other than driving. But, alas, we got a Simpsons version of it. And, you know what? Honestly, it's nowhere near as bad as the previous two games I mentioned. It's absolutely playable and enjoyable. But, as other reviewers have already stated, your enjoyment and fascination is not going to last long. It'll wear off within a couple of days each time you come back.

If you can get it for around 10 bucks, give it a shot if you're a big Simpsons fan. Otherwise, maybe just watching someone else play it.
