An Amusing Diversion

The Simpsons: Road Rage is a fun game that grows old much too fast. The premise is identicle to that of Crazy Taxi, but somehow manages to not be nearly as much fun. Long load times, repetative and inappropriate voiceovers, and small maps all conspire to drag what could have been a truly great game back down to average. That having been said, the game manages to please if played infrequently and in small bursts. This is a game you will pull out of the closet once or twice a month and be able to enjoy for a few short spins around Springfield, if only for the kitsch.
As a competative game, it leaves a lot to be desired. Advancement is granted by reaching cumulative totals instead of individual runs with your taxi of choice. As a consequence, there is no real challange to uncovering new maps or cars. If your skill with the game fails to develop, and you find yourself still unable to last longer than a couple of minutes per run, no problem. Just make more runs. It's the accumulation of money that matters, not the establishment of particular goals on any one run. Individual records are kept almost as an afterthought.
I would recommend this game as a rental, or as something to show to your friends if they're Simpsons fans. For a game with substance and replay value, look elsewhere.

This gets my lowest score ever, 7 thumbs up

If you get my headline you'll get this game. If not you haven't a chance.
This is a simpsons game first a foremost. Like most other simpsons games, and Star Wars games for the fact, only hardcore fans of the subject will love it. Some people call the voices annoying but i can't hear enough of Homer yelling USA!
It gets 3 stars for the following reasons-
- The First star goes the fact it's something Simpsons, and everything that has something to do with the simpsons deserves one star.
- My second star goes to Homer driving the car that homer made, it's hidden at first but it's the coolest thing since birth of the cool by miles davis.
- My third star goes to the shear length at which it tkaes to unlock everything. Whereas in some games you have to actually get good to unlock everything, this game is designed to allow anyone (including Ralph) eventually unlock everything...

Great Simpsons Fun!!

by the title you can tell what the point of the game is and that you will do the same thing over and over, kinda like crazy taxi, and people found that fun, so why are people complainning now, I will tell you, they have nothing better to do that sit around all day playign video games and talking bad about the fun simple games. this is a great game. it may take a while to load but who cares.

Best Simpsons game ever

The Simpsons Road Rage is one of the most fun games I've played.Carting people through Springfield is fun,but the thing I found most entertaining was just going in Sunday Drive mode and just looking at everything and remembering the episode it came from.(I am a huge Simpsons fan)If you are a Simpsons fan as well,you should definitely buy this,and even if you arent you show because its just a sweet game thats fun to play.

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!

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.

MEH, NEEDS WORK 7 OUT OF 10

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.
