Simpsons Road Rage is about how Mr. Burns buys Springfield Transit services and replaces the buses with nuclear power, so to save Springfield you must start your own taxi service, drive people where they want to go, make money to buy transit services back, and avoid running out of time during your money-making excursions. The game's overall quality is decent but unfortunately there are issues that must be addressed. First off, the graphics. The characters don't really look like cartoons, rather ugly character models that didn't take full use of the console's power. Next is repetition. Sometimes the game gets repetitive during taxi missions and the environments are somewhat bland. Next is the destruction. Seriously EA, the destruction in the game isn't very impressive. This game has some overall good value to it if you don't have anything new to play when it comes to driving or you're just bored waiting for new cooler titles. Or, if you you're a rabid Simpsons fan this is definitely worth a look. I had a good enough time with it, but it lacks depth and meat to it.

Some love it, others hate it. Here is the low-down. This is "Crazy Taxi" in Simpson-Land. There are plenty of sight and sound gags that should satisfy Simpsons fans, but they will become repetetive and annoying if you play long enough. The "worlds" are terrific, but are not "perfect" - this game is about cartoon-driving mayhem, it is not intended to be realistic. The bottom line is that the game is a blast to play.

Crazy Taxi has larger, more detailed "worlds", but without the comedy and humor of Road Rage. Road Rage, however, has more and better cars to play. My only criticism is that some of the language and inuendo could easily have been left out without detracting from the fun at all.

P.S. Sometime, be sure to drive around and read all the signs, billboards, and the names of the businesses. Also, look for backyard shortcuts and hidden tunnels.

I was so excited once I got The Simpsons: Road Rage. But once I started playing it, I was very dissapointed. The 3-D effects aren't very impressive, and this game is very repetitive. But if you're a true Simpsons fan, you will find the humor of The Simpsons in this game. The voices in this game match up to the voices on the show as well. But, like I said, this game is very repetitive and you will probably hear the same catchphrases over and over throughout the game.

This game is not very challenging either, and will probably take you no more than a month to finish. And when you do finish the game, let me tell you now, the ending is not that exciting.

A plus side to this game is that an exclusive character & vehicle comes along every holiday, which goes with the holiday. That feature is kind of cool. But, you could easily see all the characters by re-setting the calendar on your game console, and if you don't do this, you will only see the holiday character once a year.

This is an average game that is appropriate for the whole family, but it is not a must-buy. If I were you, I wouldn't rush out and buy this video game.

Very fun game

This game is cool. The levels are insane in design, cars are well-themed. Yes it's true. This game rocks. people who don't like this game have problems. The levels are filled with many landmarks. I feel like i'm in Springfield, (Which I am.)
The graphics are OK. Pretty cartoon. I say this game is repetive though. But it's fun to play like your driving. A great game.

It's a chore to play

This game stinks. The graphics of the people are okay, but the rest of the world stinks. The point is to hear people say stupid things pointlessly. Then you drive them to places and they pay hundreds of dollars. The cars don't even flip over. It's extremely repetitive. Hey haven't driven you somewhere 10 times already? That's what you'll be asking yourself. You have to do the same thing over and over again and get money. Then once you have the money you pointlessly buy people or areas. The worlds are terrible, but just like the T.V. show. Don't waste your money and get excited when you buy it, just don't even bother. Don't just try my review though, look at all the others on this site.

It takes time

I got this game at Target. It is awesome! It takes so long to get all of the characters, though. You have to work and get the money for them! So far I only have two locations and about 14 out of 17 characters. There is a mystery character and on New Years day it was Krusty the Clown in his clown car and the car had like a champaign bottle on it, it was neat, but the next day he was gone! :( Oh well, I can't wait until another holiday, maybe there will be a new character! I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes the Simpsons. It is absolutly awesome!

This amazing game from The Simpsons is incredibly funny with some classic character voices. Hundreds of different people to play as or pick up. It is based on the fact that Mr Burns has stolen all the buses to make them radioactive. Simpson characters must then change their cars into taxis and make enough cash to buy the buses back. Unlockable characters, unlockable areas and so much more. A must buy for any Simpson fan. 9/10.

Simpsons' Road Rage

Simpsons' Road Rage is a typical taxi car game. You first pick a player like Bart Simpson, Marge, Homer, Lisa, and etc. Then you pick up other people and drive them to their destination. That part's fun, then it gets worse. One flaw for this pretty good game is that the mission mode is unbelievabaly easy. I just picked up the controller and started mission mode and completed more than four levels! Another flaw for the Simpson's Road Rage is that the characters in this game look totally unreal and the heads look like bobbleheads. It just makes me want to punch the TV screen. Also, the mouths don't even match with the voices! Language in worse in the game than in the TV show, so don't get as a birthday present to a 5 year-old. Next time you meet them, they might just start saying "just shut up and drive." DO NOT GET IT FOR YOUNG CHILDREN! Still, this game is a little above average. Maybe you should rent the game before buying it.

Highly Underrated

I can't believe this game gets so much heat for ripping off Crazy Taxi. SO WHAT!!! Crazy Taxi was a great game and The Simpsons : Road Rage is even better! Any Simpsons fan will definetly LOVE the tie ins with the show. You can go all around Springfield, driving various Simpsons characters that say hilarious things ("The leprechan told me to burn things" - Ralph, "Get out of the way Jerk" - Homer). You can choose from over a dozen characters, including the Simpson family, Apu, Ned and many more. The story mode is also challenging, having the player complete different tasks, not just taxi driving. The multiplayer mode I play all the time with my friends. You have to compete with other players in order to get customers and make money. Don't listen to the critics. Simpsons fan or not, you will love this game. Plus, its a bargin at the greatest hits price of only $20. Go buy it.
